This is an anime cartoon set to the soundtrack of Daft Punk's "Discovery." There are NO other words, dialogue or songs!
If you like "Discovery" and don't particularly care about anime one way or another, you will still like this movie. If you love anime but don't have any particular feeling about Daft Punk, you will also like the movie.
If, however, you happen to be someone who really likes anime AND really likes Daft Punk, this movie will make you wet yourself. Go nuts.

One moment please - did I just put my old DVD into the BD-player???

Format:Blu-ray
A few years ago I bought the DVD of this wonderful piece of art. "Interstella 5555" indeed is a masterpiece in animation combined with excellent House Music of the brilliant French band "Daft Punk".
Sadly, the picture quality of the DVD never came up to the high standard of the the music and sound - the picture was always very blurry, the colours weren't that bright at all...
So I was very excited when I read about the release of the Blu-ray version of this audio-visual experience...
I live in Germany and so I was able to get my hands on the Blu-ray a few weeks earlier than the American customers - and I strongly doubt that the USA will get a different transfer of this film.
When I started the movie, my excitement turned into disbelief and then into anger - I had to press "stop" on my RC.
I had to look at the label of the disc in order to be absolutely sure that I hadn't taken a DVD out of the Blu-ray amaray box by mistake.
The picture quality sadly hasn't improved at all - on the contrary: Now you are able to see an ugly judder effect and lots of aliasing added to the known blur and softness issues of the DVD picture.
If you are expecting HD quality, then under no circumstances buy this disgrace of a "Blu-ray disc":
Your old DVD copy is even better than this sad excuse of HD material!
It's really a shame of an upgrade...
If this wasn't enough: Please be prepared for some loud "searching noises" coming from your BD drive/player at the beginning of each movie chapter.

I bought discovery a few years back, and to be honest I wasn't impressed, so into the back of the collection it went. Then I saw Interstella 5555. Now I can't stop listening to the damned thing, and smiling when certain tracks come on, because Discovery finally has a context that is pleasing.
Interstella 5555 really is an over the top, sentimental piece of anime, and that's what is so great about it. The fact that the hero of the story flies around in a gigantic space guitar only really bothers you the first time you see it.
I really liked that there is zero dialogue in this movie, just Discovery as the soundtrack, and lots of non-verbal communication, meaning that there's no need for translation, or bad dub-overs. One can view it in any country.
The animation is trully top notch, if not heavily 70's themed. It's deffinately a cheesy movie, but that cheese pays off big time in the form of charm, and in the end a kind of sci-fi optimism, which is kind of nice in an age when everyone is surly, sarcastic, and irony ladden.
This movie will leave you feeling good, so why not buy it?

Good quality
Everything I was hoping for when I ordered it. Was just hoping to get all of the different YouTube clips put together, but there are extras too. Very happy.
