This movie is plain ill. I`ll try to make this as good a review as possible, but in all honestly it falls short NOWHERE.
The graphics are of course amazing. I love their hair the most. All the girls are cute and all the guys are attractive and they all move realistically (although I saw one scene where a supporting role, Hitomi is passed a piece of glass and her hand looks kinda manniquin-esque, but that`s so small, I feel like an idiot for pointing it out). You can see the unconcious acts of balance adjustments. Cloth looks like cloth, different types of metal look different, cause of their textures and the way the light hits them. And don`t get me started on the lighting. The water? The reflections of shit? It`s sometimes hard to appreciate how realistic things act because it`s what you would expect to see rather than something special. But just keep aware and let the information you recieve blast your retinas. The drive to see the Seven Old Men bitchslapped me. The attention to detail is really what makes me splooge in my pantalons. There is no uniformity - everything you see is different (for example, when stone explodes, every shard has it`s own shape and course of motion depending on what type of weapon hit it etc. That doesn`t sound impressive, cause their just pieces of stone, but that`s exactly how things behave in the real world. When you watch this movie, I`m sure you`ll be awed by it too. The light effects? And the rain? Grab a spare pair of boxers or panties, cause you`ll cream the pair you`re wearing.
The audio rocks ass. The sound effects are terrific. Simple as. I particularly remember the leads running in puddles. Splish-splash. It could have sounded a whole lot worse, cosidering that recording the sound isn`t just filming the movie. It sounded as those particular puddles should have, considering water depth, type of shoe, and distance away from camera, I mean Jesus. The music also rocks masses of asses; I love the intro theme with it`s brief introduction to the city. That made me want to cry it was so frickin` marvelous. Everything is tight in this movie. Everything is as it should be.
The story is phat and has a few cliche components to it. But, I`ve never read Appleseed before and I don`t know when the Manga came out, so for all I know, Shirow Masamune invented the chiches (which really aid the plot rather than hinder it anyway). I like chiches in my anime anyway. I won`t give anything away to people who haven`t read Appleseed. The movie seems to be the introduction into the Appleseed universe so if you haven`t read it you`re not missing out on what`s going on.
I don`t really know what else to say about this movie. It`s tight as hell. When they drive to work... it`s frickin` real mang. This goes in my list of movies I can watch over and over again along with Cowboy Bebop: The Movie and True Lies (Shhhh... True Lies is the shit...). If anybody wishes to review this movie, thumbs up or down, please, feel free to do it in a reply.
