I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Such a frustrating disappointment

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Horrid use of flash animation to begin with. There are high school computer class projects that look better.Racist bigotry abounds on so many levels in this piece of garbage.I wanted to turn the damned DVD off after ten minutes but I let it play through in hopes maybe she develops some remorse over the fact that she caused the majority of the deaths in the show by killing off a meta who was literally a guardian angel.No such luck. She never grows. She continues to hold a bigotry that even has her obsessing over creating a bullet that can kill the one type of meta that she hasn't been able to yet, intangibles.Don't waste your money. I can understand why this went QUICKLY to the 2 for a dollar bin at Family Video.

This film is a real pity. Ridley's book "Those Who Walk in Darkness" is a very disturbing view of what might happen in a society in which superheroes are so commonplace that they have been legislated against and exiled from America.The story takes the point of view of a female law enforcement officer joining a unit which specialises in hunting down superheroes who are illegally remaining in the US. The book makes no bones about the fact that these units are essentially assassination squads and provides some chilling parallels between this future society's law enforcement and the Nazi Einsatzgruppe. The novel dwells in some detail on the character's attitude to those she hunts and the way society has become intolerant, making her appear relatively normal. The book even draws some sympathy for her for the way she is treated by her superiors.Unfortunately this film is so poorly and amateurishly animated and voiced that absolutely none of the ambiguity of the book (making a hero of someone most people would think of as being morally wrong) and renders this a sort of children's cartoon with an adult rating, thus guaranteeing that no-one will enjoy it. What comes across is an "in your face" portrayal of why it's OK to go round killing people because they're very different, and thus appears very racist / (specist?). The book brings out a very different message and clearly questions whether this is right.I can understand that good animation costs a lot of money and that a topic like this one must be difficult to gets funds for. I think in this case though it would have been best left as a book.I really can't recommend this to anyone. The book however is worth reading.

I recently discovered Ridley's depressingly racist novel THOSE WHO WALK IN DARKNESS and a few minutes ago discovered that it was being made into a pilot for a TV series. When a search of IMDb brought up this net-flick, I got to wondering if Ridly is using the Internet as a means to spread a script around and generate some interest. Certainly it worked for the SOUTH PARK guys.I just wish that this project were better. The anti-heroine Soledad is an unremitting racist who has no problem shooting superhumans in the back, head, or anywhere else. And she spends her free time inventing ever more lethal ammo. Yet when her actions are compared to white racists (she's black), she is incapable of seeing the analogy. Further, she is incapable of seeing that her own actions actually force her victims to defend themselves, thus in her eyes justifying her legally-sanctioned murder spree.In fact, the first book, THOSE WHO WALK IN DARKNESS, ends with her cheerfully planning a way to kill an ex-boyfriend because he turned out to have phasing powers; other than that he was a completely law-abiding citizen!

Have you ever seen a Flash or Shockwave movie? This is pretty much how the film plays out. The animation is really weird: the characters move around across the screen like paper dolls and certain sequences like flames contain too few frames of animation. This really bothers me. The main hero (played by Li'l Kim) is a bigot against these supernatural beings, which makes her out to be more of a villain than a hero. I'm not trying to dog FLASH movies (or even insult canines), but this is ridiculous. The lack of frames is unbearable and ruins what could have been at least a decent film. I hope Li'l Kim takes a better look at her next movie script . . . unless she's really only in it for the money.
