Review of Rockfish

Rockfish (2003)
8/10
Rockfish has a plot
2 May 2007
Warning: Spoilers
The story is not as much about a fisher as about a hunter. Set on a distant planet, a guy is fishing rockfish who roam underground. Only this time he met his nemesis, it's a HUGE one. And although he catches the rockfish, his gear doesn't survive the hunt. Some clues to the story behind this you see in the final Scene. A marker-stone in the dessert with "Miners beware" and some 7 successful catches marked. The guy then marks his catch onto the stone, only this one about 4 to 5 times as big.

A very nice animation in general (beautiful landscapes, machine and artifacts rendering), Some rough edges on character animation. Would be interesting to see how the remake (filming 2007) fills the other hour or so with sub-stories, sub-plots and character-development. (8 out of 10 for beautiful landscapes, wow-factor and pace)
