My reaction
Synopsis: an man obsesses over perfecting his invention while his wife is dying
How I saw it: in the theater, a few days ago (a bonus short in the 2010 Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts showcase)
Concept: Bad.
Story: Bad.
Characters: Terrible.
Dialog: Indifferent.  It's very hard to judge, as the acting is so very terrible.
Pacing: Bad.
Cinematography: Great.
Special effects/design: Good. For the most part the visuals are great, but the character design is terrible.
Acting: Terrible. The version I saw was dubbed, and they didn't seem to bother finding actors to do the dubbing.
Music: Indifferent. I don't remember it.
Subjective Rating: 3/10 (Bad). Kind of pretty to look at, but the story is just a string of cliches - the sort of string of cliches that wants you to know it's trying really hard to be profound.
Objective Rating: 1.5/4 (Eh).
