Flatland the Movie-good, but a tad cheesy; August 14, 2009
Washington Irving
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Flatland the Movie is a stunningly animated adaptation of Abbott's 1884 novel. However, because it has been adapted for young educational audiences, many of the more intricate themes that made the original novel so potent are no longer present. This movie is a simplified, "politically correct" version with a happy ending. It is good, well presented, but because of it's changes, a tad cheesy. (I recommend that anyone who buys this version buy the other version as well, Flatland the Film, for taking so much care in developing the themes into a relevant adaptation- which I give 5/5. Please bear in mind that Flatland the Film is more of a work of art than entertainment.)

This movie is cute and kids enjoy it. It opens up a lot of discussions about geometry in general as well as politics and religion. This movie is a must have if you teach secondary mathematics!

This is a disappointing rendition of Abbott's classic novel. It is very professionally produced but lacking in originality, and of limited educational value. A great opportunity missed. The interviews with the actors are (unintentionally) hilarious.

Math Class 2-D Fun! September 19, 2008

The Geometry class students loved it. It was entertaining and thought provoking. The web site has excellent activities that can fit the needs of kids at several grade and ability levels. Teachers need more of these "bells and whistles" to compete in today's techno society.
