The first thing about the movie that fascinated me would be the fact that the film is subtly mysterious and creepy. The story touches on a man who was born as an old man and throughout his life, he aged backwards, finally dying as a baby. It's just so twisted, yet compelling.
The visual effects work dedicated to the film is outstanding. One of the reasons would be that the film starts off with Brad Pitt and a replaced CG head. The visual effects team had to work with a reality capture software known as Mova to record Brad's facial expressions in detail to be transferred to his CG head.
Body actors were used instead of having Brad himself be present for the shoot because the start of the film starts off with a small,old man. Brad was simply too tall so a body actor was used. After the shoot, the head of the body actor was simply replaced with Brad's old CG head.

Matte paintings for the film were dazzling too. The people in charge of the environments used in the film made use of the software we DVFX students use which would be Vue and Photoshop. Enhancements on the sky or the environment had been done in Vue.
