Comments: This movie is curiously painted in an impressionism style. It's obviously computer generated from real film. It's different than comic book drawing.
The story is neither strong nor clear. I think it was a bad idea to bring this novel to film. Philip Dick's dark writing shines and isn't masked by clever technology (as in Imposter, Minority Report, and Bladerunner). The movie is a depressing tribute to the victims of drugs.
