Even though it was what I expected from Daft Punk, I didn't really enjoy it to its fullest potential.
The beginning scene, however, where the two of them are in the company of gorgeous montains and the ranges that go with them, with Brian Eno playing in the background, is fantastic. The camera merely focuses on the cliffs, the shapes of the stringy road, and the rest of the desert with which you might not be entirely familiar.
The movie, in essence, is how the two DP Robots wish to be human. And, they do in fact mold human faces over their robot helmets, and indeed walk around the western robot town that is shown in the beginning-to-middle section of the film.
But to state the obvious if you see it, there is just way too much walking with no talking. Walking and walking and walking and walking in the desert in the house in the mountains in the town in the bored part of my nervous system.
Don't get me wrong though. I would absolutely love to appreciate this movie when I'm in the mood to zone. Seriously.
Daft Punk are still great, whatever.
