Surprisingly incoherent and boring

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Objectifying the only female character, really making this painful to watch if you're a woman. Cheesy, confusing storyline. What's with the bowler hat and sailormoon-ish outfit for the lead male? It's cringe- worthy.Nice music touches and facial expressions. Mouths do not match dialogue. Characters occasionally appear off model in the animation.Interesting backgrounds and setting. Could use a lot more color.What is the purpose of the character's eyes changing? It's interesting and appealing, but what is the point of this cliché?

Upon starting this film, you'll be greeted with an amazing style of art with smooth form of animation that will just blow you away. You can't help but pause, or re watch it just admire the care and work that went into it. I found myself even pausing at certain moments just to better appreciate the detail that went into it. The animation (though very beautiful) does at some points seem to have a few amateur moments, but only further adds to the charm of the whole thing. However, the movie falls short on delivering a full story, with a lore that isn't explained very well and expects you to try and make sense of it. Since this is a short film, you can't really expect it too either. It fells like this movie could have been something more, something greater. There's so much left to be desired and I do hope that this will one day turn into a full length feature.

The music is flawless, as one would expect from Mr. Tom DeLonge, and the visuals are stunning and worthy of your time.Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker is, basically, a magnificent blend between the fluidity of Aeon Flux and the sci-fi model experimented in Blade Runner. Basically, the short animated movie brings back and forth concepts scantly explored, but it has the clear advantage of letting its viewers to draw their own conclusions.And believe you me, those conclusions are all over the place, and the film will not be a one time thing. You'll watch it over and over again whenever you need to escape this ugly reality.

Visually this short look great, it's a stunning blend between 3D & 2D Animations, with a nice Blade Runner vibe to it. Story wise there is not much more to say than Poet has to confront and overcome his Night Terror, while his Dream Walker aids him. At 15 minutes total run time including opening and closing credits it is rather short and several concepts that are brought up, are obviously not detailed or fleshed out further, such as the Biker on the Bridge and Eden Base. However, since there is a visual novel/comic in the making these things might be expanded upon there. If you watched it just because you are a Fan of Angels & Airwaves, you might be disappointed, because there is far less music in it than I was expecting. In conclusion, it is worth watching for the truly beautiful visuals alone.
