Incident at Tower 37, The

Animated films offer great opportunities for sci-fi stories because visions of alternate worlds do not require a bombastic budget. The Incident at Tower 37 does not attempt to create a cohesive world and does not present a long story about its characters. In scope, it resembles short published sci-fi stories. Somewhere, there is a device that for some reason drains water from the local landscape and turns it into a hostile desert. The locals don't like this and take subversive action, which is met with a response from the device's operators. However, this response is not devoid of emotions like sympathy, and everything leads to catharsis. It's not groundbreaking, it's not top-notch, but is is a likable piece of work. Overall impression: 70%. (12.10.2011)

What happens when we do something, when we influence someone? Are we actually aware that we are influencing someone? Sometimes, a little is enough and we can truly change a lot. And sometimes, a little is enough, like a silent movie, and it still works, unlike some talkative ones never will. (06.10.2014)
