Honestly, when I hear people call the animation in "Flow" "bad," it kind of blows my mind. Because here's the thing that's truly incredible: this whole movie was made on Blender! Think about that for a second. To create a full-length animated feature with this kind of visual depth and storytelling using Blender is just astounding. It shows such dedication and artistry from the filmmakers, really making the most of accessible tools.
And beyond that technical feat, "Flow" just hit me on a deeper level. Some folks say it doesn't have much meaning, but I completely disagree. It felt like it was exploring the quiet beauty of how we connect with each other, and that underlying strength you find even when things are tough. The story unfolds in a way that makes you think, makes you feel, and sticks with you. I definitely wouldn't say it lacks meaning โ quite the opposite.
Yeah, maybe some of the more dreamlike scenes or the slower moments aren't for everyone, but I found them really effective. They added to the atmosphere and let the emotions breathe. It all contributed to this really soulful vibe that the movie has.
For me, "Flow" is a five-star experience, no question. It's inspiring to see what can be achieved with independent animation using Blender, and it's a genuinely meaningful film that resonated deeply. Seriously, don't let anyone tell you otherwise โ go watch "Flow." You might just be as amazed by it as I was.
