But I have a problem with the amazing visuals ALSO- They are indeed amazing but no credit is given to Roger Dean. When I saw the trailer for the movie I was sure it is based on Dean's art. That is why I wne to see the movie. I looked very carefully in the credits and Dean is not credited. http://www.rogerdean.com/ The similarities are multiple and striking so unfortunatly the beauty of this movie is tinted in my mind because it doesn't acknowledge its artistic sources.
