Dialogzitate:

Sumoc: We had thought to find a key to the mysteries of this place...we found none. It was not until our journey home, that we began to appreciate the significance of this place. Each of us expressed a deep...interconnectedness to all things. Then, as the shift in consciousness occurred, one by one...we disappeared. It seems the cycle of life occurs on many levels.

Eye & Ear Candy

This is a lovely movie both in the computer-generated graphics and accompanying music, but suffers from a disjointed feeling. An accompanying "making of..." feature describes how the various planets were created by computer animators around the world who never met -- they just corresponded by email.

The result is just a series of gorgeous planetscapes with saucers and "probes" gliding over them, tied together (if at all) by a wispy story of aliens searching for a legendary gateway planet. One almost has the feeling that the story was forced upon a collection of already existing scenes.

The story itself is ponderous, new age philosophy and the gentleman that produced Planetary Traveller seems to have thought it an epoch making project. But if you can get past that and just enjoy the sights and sounds, It believe it's a worthwhile film.
