Flatland: The Movie - Official Trailer

The books is REALLY AWESOME.

Any intelligent book-loving fan of other dimensions and old school science fiction will be in love with it.

I haven't seen this film but just looking at the trailer here is disappointing to me. The characters are drawn all wrong.

It really messes up the purity and exactitude of the story.

i thought the females had to be lines?

it's hard to animate a line
but yes, they are

how the fuck would you even be able to see in a 2 dimentional world? its not like you can look down on it like we can

Do not read this book!!! Seriously you will get more satisfaction out of any geometry text book. I think this is the book that the derogatory meaning 'Square' originated from. If it isn't it should be because 'E. A. Abbott' had to be a virgin, I don't see how anyone would waist the time to write this, over wasting time on masturbation... seriously!!! If paper were to have feelings every page would commit suicide if it were in this book.

look at 0:18 how can be a areal and a cable at the TV, if it is a 2d world.
and at 0:58 how can his suitcase have a bottom?

Call it artistic licence. Ultimately, life couldn't exist in just two dimensions, as anything such as capillaries or a trachea would result in the organism being sliced in half. This book and film are more about creativity, and a very good way of explaining higher dimensions to our 3D minds.

I dont agree what if a 5D being said that of us it would be totaly different but IMPOSSEBLE that's kind of early in our science knowlegde about dimentions

@QwertyTSecond Indeed, the book is much less about describing how life could operate in two dimensions and much more about priming the reader to think in two dimensions, how to perceive three dimensions from two, and thereby how to begin imagining moving from three to four and so on.

Carl Sagan would have liked this :)
