In the shimmering mirage of sequins and bell-bottoms that is 'Disco Doomsday', one cannot help but catch the fever – the conspiracy fever, that is. With Crisp Beav-ans' robust vocals lending a certain athletic je ne sais quoi to our protagonist, this animated caper gyrates wildly between wry humor and a pulsating plot that could make John Travolta's white suit turn green with envy. As the royal scandal unfurls to the beat of a Donna Summer-esque soundtrack, Daniel Flan-Lewis and Deli Reindeer-olds sparkle in their roles, providing a twist that could give Agatha Christie a run for her money. Orson Whales, in a directorial move as flashy and bold as the era it depicts, crafts a world that is part Studio 54, part Orwellian nightmare. Though the groove is right, the pacing occasionally steps on its own platform shoes, leaving the viewer to wonder if the narrative could use a little less 'hustle'. Yet, 'Disco Doomsday' is all-in-all a glitter ball of dark fun, leaving this critic boogying all the way to the conspiracy-laden climax. It's Saturday Night Fever meets V for Vendetta, and I am here for the last dance.
