Based on the book by Phillip K Dick, the most interesting thing here is the Bakshi-esque style of animation over previously shot live action footage. This technique is particularly useful for depicting the very worst of bad trips, and in some cases it enhances the performances of the cast (for better or for worse, as Keanu Reeves demonstrates in his all-too imitable fashion). Looking past the striking animation, what is left is a confusing jumble of drug fuelled psychobabble, which, as is all too often the case with Phillip K Dick adaptations, is suddenly and succinctly explained in a few lines at the end.
