Cool. But the whole german dialogue at the end... it makes me feel like I've got a gag in my mouth and am being punished for being a sexual deviant. Bit too harsh for my liking.
Do you understand German?
I showed a blind guy my TVC the other day, he said he'd like it to be more visual.
great visual effect, but the evolution part happened too fast, should elaborate on that and make the evolution more exciting.
We hate expensive. thats what these guys say but looks like they spent loads on making this..
nice execution
Bloody brilliant.
Okay thats unconstructive gush over with.
I agree with the 1st comment that I feel like I've been a baad boy (anyone reminded of Gozer from Ghostbusters), could be a cultural thing.
That aside It's a beutifully crafted peice of work.Great art direction, seemless CGI, the muted colors really sell the mechanical idea. Love the Mecha Tranna (carefull spelling), way better than any car morphing into a robot.
It's all a bit too rapid, but thats adverts 30 sec's to get your idea across. I found myself re watching it several times and I'v no idea what it's selling. If it's meant get my attention then job done! if I'm meant to know what it's promoting maybee I need to speak German.

I really enjoyed most of it, what a cool job. I like the way the dinosaurs have a 'rough machine' look rather than a 'polished robot' one. The ending is rather lame.

agreed, the dinos where amazing looking, and i hated the payoff.
Very smart, great visual effects and animation, direction is perfect.
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.
Evolution? Dinosaurs? Consumer electronics? Expensive? Saturn?
Unfortunately I kind of think that the message gets lost in all the coolness of the visual story.
just great production.
nothing more.
I saw too many evolutions in my life. But the production's great.
Just Great.
There's no way in hell a pack of sabre toothed tigers could take down big Rex. There's just no way.

Very good production/animation, but the payoff sucked!!!!!!!

Really cool ad but I have no idea what they're selling. Maybe I would if I was German?
Great visual effects and that's just about it.

anyways.. LOVE the tagline .. " We hate expensive"

If you were German you'd know what they're selling even without hearing what she says.
Saturn is kind of like Best Buy, i think virtually everybody knows that here.
And being a German I don't feel punished by her. Although the payoff in fact isn't as smart as the rest.
really nice visuall execution, great, love it. nice one
