"The Inventor cannot escape its script's creative limitations and generic messages, but it remains a somewhat interesting viewing, full of humorous moments and pure audiovisual beauty.
The fantastic stop-motion animation stands out, but the 2D sequences are just as, if not more, captivating. Alex Mandel's score is crucial to the film's entertainment levels, along with the vocal performances of the cast, especially Stephen Fry as Leonardo da Vinci.
Apart from a few more sound mixing problems, Jim Capobianco doesn't disappoint, but I'll be waiting for a deeper, more memorable sophomore feature film."
