Extraction

About This Movie

So, Extraction is this intriguing animated piece that dives into the depths—literally and metaphorically. The animation style has a surreal quality, almost dreamlike, which perfectly sets the tone for the diver's journey. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the underwater cave. When the diver meets the group of swimmers, it’s like this odd reflection of self; I find it really thought-provoking. The practical effects used in the underwater scenes give it a tactile feel, enhancing that immersion. It’s distinctive in how it plays with themes of identity and introspection without getting too heavy-handed. Quite an unusual take in the animation genre, really. Worth a watch for anyone interested in animation that dares to explore deeper themes.
