Title: FX great; no story worth watching
Product review: Whether it's the vapid "Sky Captain and the World of Tommorrow, the sophomoric "A Waking Life," or now "Renaissance," it seems Hollywood studios can't get the special effects out of their eyes long enough to see that an interesting (dare we hope for intelligent?) story is necessary.I thought the B&W; rotoscoping was a daring and novel piece of work, but the story had all the flair of a Junior HS student in his first creative writing class. I couldn't bring myself to finish watching it. A total bore.
