User Reviews

One of the best movie experiences I've had in a while

The movie Cyberworld has it's shares of flaws in it's segments and stuff. However, the sheer experience of this movie is brilliant in it;s delivery. To watch this movie in the IMAX format, and for the first time no less, (Fantasia was something that came to regular theaters after the IMAX run) is a mind blowing and head expanding experience that is one of the reasons why I go to movies. Even if the content of a movie isn't above par, if the delivery is excellent enough, as it is here, it is breathtaking.

Jenna Elfman stars as a cyberchick who gives intros to various segments of cyber animation that may or may not have 3d and 3d animation. The segments themselves vary from excellent to fair; the Antz segment is memorable and the Simpsons segment is a treasure as Homer gets locked in a 3D world and is a wonder in laughter (though that also is a flaw since the movie cuts off when Homer says one of the show's funniest lines: mmm, erotic cakes.). Short and very sweet. A
