5.0 out of 5 stars A mind opener., 22 July 2008
Not knowing quite what to expect quality-wise from this documentary I was pleasently suprised that it unequivocally lived up claim of exploring the 'mindscape' of Alan Moore. Comics fans may be disappointed that there is not more about his work and writing methods but inany case all of that is available elsewhere, indeed 'Writing for comics by Alan Moore' might be a good place to start and the (I think) soon to be reprinted 'The extraordinary works of Alan Moore.
Moore may have already outlined many of the key ideas espoused in this documentary before but the joy of this DVD is that the uniqueness of Moore's worldveiw the compellingness of his diatribe in his inimitable bass northampton drawl would make this documentary accessible even to those unfamiliar with the man's work. That it is fascinating beyond a comics interest is it's greatest asset and I will therefore be attempting to force it onto whatever amenable soul is prepared to humour me in the near future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretentious, overwrought-but Oh my gods, the ideas!!, 20 July 2008
By M. W. Hatfield "mwhatfield" (Gainsborough, Lincolnshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is a confusing,pretentious and noisy documentary padded out by unnecessary visual cuts(though admittedly, the visuals are often beautiful in a psychedelic kind of way.)Moore himself talks in a Northampton monotone,telling stories most aficionados will have heard before (and let's be honest, who on earth is going to want to watch a documentary about Alan Moore except hard-core comics fans?) Worse still, the stories are only half-told and missing the human detail any incisive interviewer would insist on. For instance, after being told the remifications of Moore's expulsion from school and his headmaster's vindictive vendetta against Moore,we are still not told why he was expelled. Where's the rest of the story?
In a documentary about magic and Moore as magician, there is no analysis of Promethea, Moore's most explicitly magical comic. The human story of Moore- a truly fascinating tale of a human being achieving artistic greatness (and this is no exaggeration) from the most humble of beginnings through sheer talent and force of will- is missing here. No discussion of Moore's principled stand on creator's rights and his one-man battle against Hollywood's seduction- moral stances which make Moore unique among his peers.No explanation or critique of Moore's work, a truly powerful and consistently remarkable body of literature (again no exaggeration) which any author would be proud to have produced.
So why the five stars? Because,as Moore himself says, words are magic, and when he speaks, the concepts he expounds are heart-stoppingly profound. He will change the way you think about the world. Listen to him discussing fame as the modern equivalent of the 19th century ocean voyage to adventure- and you see why our young people are so desperate to appear on Big Brother.Listen to him talk about writers and artists as magicians, about ideaspace, about quantum physics and apocalypse as a new way of looking at the world- and all of a sudden, he sounds like the most rational scientist you've ever heard. The dangers of monotheism, the rise of CCTV, entertainment as mind control, the nature of the human soul...this is truly consciousness-expanding stuff. This could change your life.
And if you have heard it all before, as i have. ...hear it again!
The truth is that the flaws with this documentary are the pointless, distracting visual decoration and the director's self-regard.What was required was 80 minutes of Moore talking directly to camera, explaining his ideas and beliefs. That's all you'd need. You think that'd be boring? Not on your life! The moments when this documentary comes to life are when Moore and his words fill the screen. Everything else is nonsense. Listen to Moore talking. The five stars is an understatement. The rest is just sound and fury, signifying...not much, really.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting to say the least, 2 May 2008
I eagerly awaited the release of this film... only to be slightly disappointed, simply because much if what was said in this film has been said before in Moore's countless interviews, but if you haven't read those then this may well be for you. The film concentrates a lot on Moore's occultic beliefs and life compared to focusing on his works which I think will be a shame to many comic book fans. I also feel that maybe the director has tried to be too arty in the designs of the play, but that's just a personal feel. Overall, a good documentary as an insight into the genius' mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entering the Mindscape.
Make no mistake, this is indeed the Mindscape of Alan Moore. For those interested in Moore's thoughts and advice on writing comics, this is probably not for you. Read more
