The Tim Burtonish retro design and the blatant references to silent masterworks don't amount to a style; and even if they did, wouldn't make up for the kitsch story.

Reviews for The Aerial
This wonderfully original little film is filled with tacit menace and ominous symbolism; it’s a work of curious and unsettling beauty.
A stylishly inventive play on silent-era movies that presses political buttons.
The characterisation is perhaps necessarily formulaic, but that doesn’t make these paper-thin figures any more likeable, and despite its undoubted beauty the film eventually becomes something of a chore.
This left-field, futuristic film is a tad too indulgent to be a true homage to the silent movie.
Reflexive, allegorical and poetic, La Antena (The Aerial) is a dizzyingly dense piece of cinema, thriving on paradox, and always matching its medium to its message.

Both less inventive and less substantial than it seems to think it is, this would-be epic suffers from the comparisons it prompts as it references a series of silent classics.
