The hands are still creepy—and it’s all a bit… Stepford, isn’t it?

Frighteningly. Having so many virtually identical women scattered over the long video leads to a cumulative effect that something psychologically off is afoot.

And there's a certain 50's "pleasure-model" context implied in so much of the imagery.

But still-- so many cool cool things in there!

I think they look their best when smiling and not just a resting porcelain doll face.

Fantastic looking sixties future stuff!

I can't even watch it. Too weird. Reminds me that I've never liked rotoscope animation because it looks creepy to me.

Somebody set the "Eye Size" slider a bit too far to the right.

Yikes! look at the hands holding the bottle at 1:29 ...

That being said, it boggles the mind how far this will go in the near future.

I'm calling it now: We're getting a major motion picture release, within the next 5 years, set in this retro-futuristic A.I. world we keep seeing all over YouTube.

i didn't watch the whole thing start to finish, most* of the women seemed to resemble Taylor Swift. beautiful woman, yes, but enough already, there are other beautiful features out there ...

*yes there were exceptions (like as Ron pointed out at 1:29, 7:46, 9:12, 22:29 are others), but most!

The visceral recoil I experienced when a silver dollar hot cake materialized and slithered mouthwards at 3:00 is not something I will soon forget.

Try as I might ...
