I feel they did pull it back at the end, and brought the message in nicely. As far as the artwork and design goes, i think that its overly done, and there i a lack of composition and focus per shot. Its just a 'pile as much stuff in as possible' approach. I thinks its just too busy to look and see anything, so you end up seeing nothing, which is a pitty becuase there is SO much work that went into this by the looks of it. Overall its a good job, but hopefully next time they will compose the shots and focus attention visually a little better. Great job guys!

United has really been wowing me ever since the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJBWvpeVXI8" rel="nofollow">Dragon Commercial</a> a year ago. Great mix of whimsy, romance, and adventure.

Does Hieronymous Bosch make anyone want to fly? It's not like I need help to associate flying on United Airlines with hell - United takes care of that every time I do business with them.

My one criticism is that there's really too much highly detailed stuff going on so at times it becomes visually overwhelming and flat. Fantastic virtuosic work.
