Last live action Asterix (Mission Cleopatre) movie was almost unwatchable. I am a huge Asterix fan since my early years and a I even spent money on tickets for that film The disappointment was great.

But, rejoice gauls warriors! Astérix: Le domaine des dieux is here! The 3d animated movie is based in one of the best graphic novels of the title character. The animation is nicely done and has nothing to envy to great American studies. Design of our beloved characters is well ported from 2d to 3d. The story is expanded with turns that enriches the narrative and makes you feel that hour heroes may not win the day against the roman invaders. Fear not the original story is all there just a little tinkered to make it into a full length movie.

Everything funny that makes Asteris such a pleasure to read is there!

I really really likes this Asterisk and I hope that they keep this direction instead recurring to mediocre live action films.

Well, I was half drunk and completely stoned yesterday when I saw it...but did the film have any kind of logic? I expected vampires with fangs and got an old lady (I think she was the vampire) and some kind of mad doctor with his one leg sidekick...very very strange...

The atmosphere was really oppressing. The house seemed to be infinite maze, with bizarre and colorful characters that popped up out of nothing. Special effects were amazing...I thought I was seeing a high budget modern film! The dancing shadows were disturbing! Also, the main character looked like a lovecraftian stereotype, always clueless and wandering around the house, he doesn't understand were he is or what is happening.

Altogether a great film! J.M.

I just saw the movie en "Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre" Festival. It's a mix of rock musical and zombie film parody.

It reminds me a little of Shawn of the Dead (a highly recommended choice, of course). The movie contains a lot of parodies about zombie moments on films (like the classical running to the house in the middle of nowhere or chainsaw killings...). It's a low budget movie, but well made. The tunes are all very similar, but the lyrics are great.

Also it's full of political satire. Zombie-terrorists, Jihad Resurrection Virus and self-inflicted strike are some of them, pointing to a certain current administration.

Nice film.
