To All the Geniuses Who Gave This Bad Reviews

"First, this is an art movie, 2nd it's a road movie (albeit featuring two robots), and for all those who said it sucks because it doesn't contain any Daft Punk music, here's the secret: "Human After All" is the alternative (and far superior) soundtrack to the film. Seriously, cue up the DVD, then put "Human After All" on album repeat; the story, songs, and even beats line up perfectly. In the opening scene, if you synced it up properly, the title track "Human After All" repeats "Human" when they zoom in on the "Human" license plate, then when the robots go into the clean room and the steam pours out of the hoses, "Steam Machine" comes on. There are several other examples, and if you really synch it up, the people even walk in time to the beat in several shots. There, that's why there is no dialogue, that's why the scenes are so long. Even when the album ends and repeats back to the first track, it's still in sync with the movie, now enjoy."

Not your Typical Daft Punk

"If you didn't know anything in advance, and you're were expecting to enjoy a movie that really goes along with the album Human After All, yes, you will be disappointed. This is a live action art house flick that doesn't involve any Daft Punk music at all, only the concept of going along the the album viewing two robots in their quest as they yearn to become human and the consequences of this journey. There's no action, there's no dialogue, just an engaging plotline, if you can allow yourself to absorb it."

"Granted the movie is a bit slow in the beginning, but the slow beginning really just serves as a bit of daft punk foreplay for everything else that happens within the movie. Its a different direction from Interstella 5555 and their music videos, but Electroma has some really insanely beautiful scenes. Plus, it's funny and poignant and really rides more like a film in which daft punk manifests as more than musicians."

A true work of art

"You will hear very mixed reviews on this, so I am going to try not to say anything along the lines of "it sucked" or "it was amazing". The movie starts off realy slow and I felt really stupid for buying it. As I continued to watch it, I found myself in love with it. Basically, you are watching what was ment to be a music video for HUMAN AFTER ALL. There is no dialouge, only beautiful scenery, beautiful photography, and a really nice story. None of the music is Dafts, but this music fits the movie very well. For the nice booklet, the awesome case, and interesting visuals, its worth it."
