In the labyrinthine streets of 21st-century Paris, where every move is
monitored and every action recorded, a mysterious kidnapping sets into motion a
catastrophic series of events that could ultimately prove the downfall of
civilization. The year is 2054, and the Avalon Corporation has securely woven
its way into every aspect of modern living by making youth and beauty the most
valued commodity around. Troubles arises in the City of Lights when a
high-profile scientist named Ilona (voice of Romola Garai) is kidnapped, and
policeman Barthélémy Karas (voice of Daniel Craig) is assigned the task of
solving the case. As his investigation leads Karas down a menacing path where
death lurks around every bend, he soon discovers that events that took place in
2006 have cast a dark shadow over the future of humankind. A film that mixes
Blade Runner aesthetics with stark, Sin City-style visuals, Renaissance was
filmed using motion-capture animation and features extravagant production design
by Alfred Frazzani (Immortel Ad Vitam). ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie
