Crush

About This Movie

So, 'Crush' from 2023 is this ambitious animation that really leans into a unique blend of science fiction and existential dread. The pacing is a bit off at times but it adds to that disorienting atmosphere—like you’re floating in space, unsure what’s next. The premise, an astronaut accidentally landing on the moon and witnessing Armageddon, is a wild ride. The visuals are striking, with some practical effects that stand out in the animation arena, giving it a textured feel. Themes of isolation and the fragility of existence really hit hard, and while the director’s name is shrouded in mystery, the creativity is apparent. It’s definitely not your run-of-the-mill animated flick; there's a certain edge that makes it distinct.
