Different and I like it! (31 July 2007)
I have only recently started to listen to daft punk. But I decided to watch this. And I wasn't let down. This is a supurb anime film, but the difference is that there is no proper dialogue. Instead is the music from daft punk's second album, and this actually works really well. Also it has some great songs such as: Harder Better Faster Stronger, One More Time, Face to Face and Too Long. If you willing to see and listen to something different, then give this a go!

Brilliant idea... but sadly this is incredibly dull (05 June 2007)
I am baffled by the all the 100% positive reviews. I'm a massive fan of daft punk, and love this album. But be warned, the pacing in these videos is excruciatingly slow. There are a few interesting ideas dotted about, but the majority of this dvd consists of needlessly long, repetitive shots that become really quite painful after a couple of songs.

This feels like 10 minutes of content stretched to fit over an entire album. I REALLY wanted this to be good, and by the reviews on here many people seem to enjoy it - but myself and everyone i've shown this dvd to find it unwatchably dull.

By all means buy this if you're a daft punk obsessive but be aware that you may be extremely disappointed with it, like me. A wasted opportunity.

Interstella super (08 September 2006)
In its way a remarkable film, and a genuine one-off, which deserves to be better known amongst animation lovers. Co-director Leiji Matsumoto, who during his long career in anime has been associated in one capacity or another with such cheesy epics as Space Battleship Yamato, the Harlock Saga, Star Blazers & etc, worked with Daft Punk (a French two-man band specialising in electronic rock) on this unique feature. Deliberately recreating the extreme glam stylisation of the 1970's/early 80's Japanese animation style, albeit done with more fluidity and detail which modern day budgets and software allow, Matsumoto has married image and sound to hypnotic effect in a movie which in effect is both unique and unforgettable. A "digital love story" of a kidnapped technoband - who incidentally travel together in a Scooby-Do like 'Mystery Machine' as events unfold - and an evil music impresario (echoes of the obscure Toomorrow (1970) here - anyone seen that?). Despite some snipes at pop exploitation, there are no great depths here story-wise, although there are dark elements, such as the painful burial of a deceased major character. But the characterisation is not important, as it was not what the creators were after, instead preferring to leave the graphic designs and timings to unfold on their own account. What makes the film so great is the peculiar manga-music hybrid that results, as the stylised visual design and editing rhythms join with a contemporary soundtrack (the entire film is wordless outside of lyrics)in a way which is both culturally nostalgic as well as being strikingly modern, hypnotic even, in effect. The plastic surface which results entirely transcends the original pulp manga inspiration. In short it's a film which sounds naff but, somehow, works. As an achievement the result is miles ahead of the director's previous, briskly produced juvenelia and ought to be required viewing.

Daft punk: Interstella 5555 (09 May 2006)
Four words, OH MY GOOD GOD. I love this film it is the ultimate togetherness of the classic Daft Punk Discovery album and the amazing animation of one of the worlds top anime/manga artists.
The basic idea is for those of you who have seen televised music video's to "One More Time" and "Aerodynaimc" would know that they involve a musical band who are kidnapped for the sick plesure of an old dude with a beard picture santa clause but angry and more thin. They are then well if I told you you wouldn't buy it so just trust me it rocks, one of my favourite anime films which I keep close to my anime collection trust me if you like daft punk/anime this film is most definatly for you.

Touching, emotional and absolutely sublime (19 November 2005)
This is an incredible film. It's heart warming, moving, yet at the same time simply remarkable. I am a really big Daft Punk fan, owning every single one of their albums, and I can safely say you are not making a mistake in buying this.

I first saw this in the cinema, and as it was out on DVD, decided to show it to some of my friends; they all loved it, even if they weren’t fans of Daft Punk. BUY THIS NOW!!!
