It's a testament to the production design that one quickly gets caught up in the story without ever completely losing the "ooh-ahh" factor. Ominous, wall-to-wall music bolsters the appropriately uneasy mood, and the bittersweet conclusion is satisfying.

The style doesn't just overwhelm the substance, it makes it irrelevant.

For its retro-futurist look alone, this outdated thriller set in 2054 Paris is worth seeing.

Its dark images echo in the mind's eye. And for that alone, it's worth seeing.

An empty experience; lots of shadow and noise, adding up to very little.

It's unfortunate that it's all in the service of a story as dull as it is complicated, though if you can make it to the end without drifting off, there is a small reward.

Audience Reviews for Renaissance

Oct 08, 2015Renaissance has a unique visual style that is more than gimmick. I give it high marks for doing something different and doing it well. Beyond that, solid voice acting from the male lead and solid animation carry the film. The plot is so-so and most of the characters are weak. Renaissance is not very dark or thrilling, but it is noir and it is definitely French. The trailer does not give much away; if you give that a look and like what you see then Renaissance is probably worth the view.Robert B Super Reviewer

Mar 19, 2012Beautiful, stark images and a wondrous score do a lot to sell this French made sci-fi/detective hybrid (ala Blade Runner) that's unfortunately undercut by a script that's too standard film noir. The medium is stunning ... if only they'd concentrated a bit more on the story ...Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Aug 12, 2009A graphic novel in movie form that works really quite well in providing a cool, dark, film noir atmosphere. It helps having the new James Bond to provide the lead voice too. The sci-fi story is a fairly good one and quite appropriate to the style of the movie. However, the plot can drag a bit at times.Ross C Super Reviewer
