    Smooth Transitions
    They say user design done well is when the user doesn't feel disconnected from what they are aiming to do.

    With film, I translate this to be - the viewer shouldn't feel disconnected due to the design of the piece.

    It's an art form.

    And on the whole, unless you're looking for it - there is an invisibility to this kind of artistry.

    I felt this way with 'Entergalactic'.

    Of particular note, were the transitions. They were insanely well orchestrated and smoothly fit into the flow of this piece - which was designed for flow.

    The first two piqued my interest - FedEx and dropping the Fed to title the chapter 'The Ex'. Then there was the next chapter title that became a record title of the vinyl's Jabari was flipping through.

    A favourite was when a jumper with words on it dropped off and the words were left on the screen for impression.

    The transitions didn't just happen with words. But with music too.

    There is a scene where one apartment's lights go out to a beat in the song, then on the next beat the apartment next door's lights go out.

    This gave me feels.

    Lastly, considering this was almost an anthology, I was looking at the stories within stories.

    I recently watched Playing it Cool and it had stories within stories done in a similar form.

    Have the character talk with another character, who tells a story which is woven into the story simply by being mentioned.

    It's a cool technique that adds complexity simply.

    Overall, the form of 'Entergalactic' was beautifully crafted and I enjoyed the details.

    Loved it
    Movie is very reflective of actual events pertaining to my love, though I didn't have the happy ending like Jabari's character. More importantly, this movie was/is very good, very realistic, hilarious and fun. I've re-watched it several times, and I am watching it now as I write this review. Very very good movie. I was put on to this movie by my sister who also saw similarities in this story and my own life. I thought the sound track added more depth to the movie as it's intended purpose. The whole movie is my favorite scene as there several scenes that are just wonderful. I wonder if there will be a follow up or perhaps a new film of a similar nature.

    cute romance movie
    Acting was good, i like that kid cudi played the main character but it took me a while to pick up on it. The animation was so pretty and i wanted so badly to take screenshots but netflix doesn't like that. Amazing composition though, and the color pallet and painting style was mwah. Good music, kid cudi is good. The song at the end was my favorite. The concept is kind of the classic romance movie plot line so it was predictable, but not boring. I think because of the title and the app and stuff, if it was set in a slightly more futuristic setting that would've been a good addition. Robots are always good. The themes are cute though, i like the line about all of us needing love. It's a cute movie! It won't stick with me but i did like it a lot. The colors and texture of the animation was what stood out to me the most.

    Basic but worth watching.You're missing out if you haven't watched it yet.
    Bringing some of the most famous musicians In one movie,I thought it was exorbitant,but kid Cudi,ty dollar and also jayden really played their characters roles to perfection The creation of entergalatic revolves around two teen's,Jabari voiced by kid Cudi who is a streewear clad artist and meadow a talanted photographer. Directed by Fletcher Moules known for his work in matrix 1999 really made this animation worth watching.

    Considering the fact that the animation doesn't have any tech or action used and yet managed to eschwed boring scenes throughout the movie.

    Entergalatic brings out that sense of the characters being gratuitous throughout the movie and not revolving In a tied dramatic loop,it was amazing really.it is like experiencing the reality of life.literally. How they capture the romantic scenes and the not so severe banging of our famous animated musicians is terrific.

    Being as it was simple,realistic and enjoyable,one find themselves repeating over time and the best part is it doesn't get boring,still exciting.

    They really took their time on this animation .It was worth every second. Love It.

    Good.
    It's a good film to watch while you wait for the pizza to get delivered or something. The visuals are pretty cool, it reminds me of "Spider-Man Into the Spider-verse". The soundtrack is also pretty good (if you like trap music, at least). Aside from that, the film is pretty mediocre and cliché. You can guess the ending halfway through the whole thing. Also, I don't know if it's something with me, personally, but the film has a teenage vibe to it that I don't really enjoy. I mean, it feels like the film is aimed at a very specific audience, which is 16 year old folks who spend half their day browsing social media and the other half smoking weed while listening to the latest song by "Lil something".
