While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One can say that a movie has a different impact on every person, and I agree with that, and i do realize that this is not a very well-made documentary per se, but it caused a major impact on me, very much because i wasn't expecting such a tremendous amount of information when i first thought about watching it.I was, in fact expecting to see some kind of biography and a scratch on the surface on Moore's most popular comic books, and that documentary really have these features, but eventually it becomes a rare piece of modern philosophy and a way to relate with the world that at least for me was entirely fresh and new. A view on the subject of magic that totally made sense to me, and a reflection on our day and age that is realistically terrifying.Yes, you'll watch a 80-minute monologue by Alan Moore, but I highly recommend it, because if you pay attention, this can be a very enriching experience after all.

The Mindscape of Alan Moore can hardly be called a documentary. It's just what the title says - the mind-scape of a brilliant, unique but also pretentious writer. The film is Alan Moore himself talking constantly for 80 minutes, apparently with no real editing or direction. It starts pretty conservatively with Moore talking about his early life, about how he discovered comics and how he got into the business, as well as some insight about his most important works - Watchmen, V For Vendetta, Swamp Thing, From Hell and Lost Girls, and those segments hold a lot of interest for fans. But from there, in the second half, Moore derails into long philosophical and quasi-spiritual ramblings that give some interesting insight into his mind and creativity, but really drag on for too long and show very little original thought that hasn't been expressed before by philosophers, spiritualists and physicists. As a whole this is less a documentary and more a chance for Moore to talk about whatever he wants; the visuals aren't interesting enough to make it any more engaging. It holds some interests for fans of Moore but keep your expectations low.

This is Alan Moore talking about his life, his work and beliefs for 78 minutes. Its very informative look at why he does what he does and what is lying behind the stories that have become part of the popular culture. It's a heady mix that is sure to both enlighten and confuse (but in a good way.) I liked it and I know that I'm going to have to listen to it again to fully grasp everything that he's saying. The reason I say listen is that much of this program is static. It's a camera pointed at Moore who speaks, often as if he's giving a lecture. There are attempts by the filmmakers to spice things up by showing locations and panels from the comics or tarot cards, but for the most part all of the information is in Moore 's words. One also has to listen because Moore 's North of England accent can be a bit dense at times and it is possible to miss a word or two. (I would rather listen to Moore rather than watch him because I find his physical affectation a bit on the silly side. He is a grand eccentric and he plays it to the hilt with his wild man appearance and more jewelry then Zsa Zsa Gabor. I can't take him seriously as a person). If you like Moore and his work this is something you really need to see.

I am a huge Alan Moore fan, so naturally I grabbed up this opportunity to see into the mind of one of my heroes when I saw it at the local underground rental place (Atlanta: Videodrome!).I feel bittersweet about it.On the one hand, Moore's views are more than just interesting, they're possibly life changing. They are extremely unique and they help to bring together a lot of the threads he's explored in so many works.On the other hand, the visuals of the film are largely pointless. Yes, I understand this is supposed to be a 'mindscape', but just putting backwards running footage of psychedelic colors doesn't add anything to what he's saying.If you're interested in the views of Alan Moore but you also have a respect for film, I suggest you try to find a transcript of what he says over the course of this film. His essentially long monologue is extremely intriguing and is worth hearing/reading, but the film is not, in my opinion.Interestingly enough, the bonus features are worth a rent...there are interviews with several key figures in the comic book world (Dave Gibbons, David Lloyd, and four others), whose interviews are much more straightforward and almost as interesting, without all the distracting and irrelevant 'mindscape'.
