The problem.....

I have seen this movie when it first debut in 1988 and I love the animation design ((very different from Japanese or American) however, the problem that I have with this is that I knew that this was an adaptation of a story by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov. I have tried to read the 'Foundation' and I am not interested. The problem that I have with this film is that to my taste or sensibilities it is dull. I remember that this was told in a narrative. No speaking dialogues. But just the pacing of the movie was just very monotonous and like a slow procession from one slow scene to the next scene. Isaac Asimov may be a great sf writer but if this is an indication of what his stories are like and how it is adapted for another medium then I am convinced even more to not read from his works. Same with the author of the 'Dune' series. I have heard people complain(very curious) that George Lucas may have borrowed ideas. I don't know. But, I have seen both versions of Dune. The movie version and the cable sci-fi channel television version and they both were very monotonous, dull, and uninteresting. Same may be said for Stephen King. I like some of his movies (Carrie) but the rest seem like unjustified praised and adoration and hype. "Cujo", "Christine", and there are others. I never liked Stephen King's work.
But this Gandahar visually is very different. But the technique in camera uses, too much wide shots, and just the story style makes me wonder where the enthusiasm came from to put forth the energy. I'm amazed.
