Tom's Corner:
Metropia
(2009, Tarik Saleh)
You ever watch a movie and think, “Wow, how weird was that?” If you haven't, watch 'Metropia.'
'Metropia' is a computer animated movie out of Sweden that takes place in a futuristic Europe where oil is running out. The Trexx corporation has connected the various major cities together with underground railroads, called the Metro. Roger (Vincent Gallo) tries to avoid the underground, because whenever he goes down there, he hears a voice in his head. He's surprisingly not crazy. It turns out that the Trexx Corporation, which has several subsidiaries, is using shampoo to turn people's heads into antennae for some reason. Yeah, that's right, the person tuned to you sees what you see and can tell you things, somewhat controlling the way you think. Nina (Juliette Lewis) wants to put a stop to this. But everyone has their own motivations...so who can you trust? This was a pretty good movie, and the animation was suitably creepy. I recommend it.- Tom
