As a fan of animation films, I have to say that Renaissance is a visual treat.

Renaissance is for the most part shown in only black and white animation. While most would shy away from it, as there's no color, but by limiting the movie to just black and white, the lighting effects are what really define this movie. Renaissance might not be a Pixar movie in terms of detail, but the lighting effects of this movie, and the great directing, really leave you in awe. To say the least, Renaissance is a piece of art.

But not to say that the visuals are what make Renaissance what it is, Renaissance does have a pretty good dark story and some great action sequences. Renaissance revolves around the kidnapping of a scientist that works for a powerful firm, Avalon. It's up to Captain Karas and the rest of the Sector K police division to find her. In the middle, expect a couple of twists and turns as typical for investigation movies and you've got the story. Oh, and don't forget a couple, although there aren't, great action scenes.

Renaissance is a French movie in origin, but the English voice cast is outstanding.

Overall, Renaissance is a must for fans of animated movies. The great visual style and the lighting effects will keep you enthralled. As for everyone else, Renaissance is still a good look. It might not have the best story out there, but it's still pretty good.
