My reaction
Synopsis: a police chase in a world made of corporate logos
How I saw it: in the theater, a couple days ago
Concept: Bad.
Story: Bad.
Characters: Indifferent.  Ronald is pretty amusing, though.
Dialog: Good.
Pacing: Indifferent. I don't know what reason it has to keep going for more than a minute or two.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Good.
Acting: Indifferent. Good voice-acting, bad animated acting.
Music: Indifferent.
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh). Not half as clever as it wants you to think it is. After watching the Animated Short nominees, none of them really stood out as deserving to win, but this one clearly stood out as not deserving to be nominated. Go figure.
Objective Rating: 2.0/4 (Indifferent).
