Extremely cool. Surprised it only has 2 likes (one is mine) at the time of writing; deserves to have far more.

I have never seen more perfect editing in a film. This was magnificent. I thoroughly enjoyed every second, and plan to watch it many times, to catch all the images. Very thought-provoking, too, on an almost subconscious level. MANY thumbs up.
