Movie Reviews of Appleseed Ex Machina (Single-Disc Edition)
Movie Review: fun movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Great visuals, fun combat scenes. Story starts off ok but I didn't care for the finale, too old school video game like and not the usuall gritty realism i'd expect from Appleseed.
Still it's a fun movie and worth a watch.
Movie Review: Appleseed sequel
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the sequel to Appleseed, but not an exact sequel. Graphics are gorgeous. I bought this because it was dual (DVD/HD-DVD) so when HD died, I still have a viable format. I would recommend waiting for Blu-Ray, unless you are happy with your upconverter. Movie Review: Ex Machina gets a B+
Summary: 4 Stars
If you liked Appleseed you'll like this, but don't expect to see anything new. The eye-popping visuals are back with a finer palette of colors but the storyline is weak. It feels more like an episode than a movie.
Personally I liked Vexille (2007) better. It will undoubtedly draw comparisons due to the fact that the writer/director, Fumihiko Sori, is the same man who produced Appleseed (2004). But I think you'll find the storyline to be a little fresher. Still, Ex Machina is worth buying. I suggest that you buy this product at a retail store. My pre-order on the collectable metal case edition arrived sealed with the discs and nothing else. No chapter booklet, nor did it have the special edition comic that came with a retail purchase. A mistake I won't make again.
Movie Review: A Worthy Installment
Summary: 4 Stars
Appleseed Ex Machina is the third movie in the series. As the movies have been substantially spread apart in their realease dates, there are substantial differences in animation between them. The second movie was a huge step up from the first, melding cinematic graphics with excellent animations. Ex Machina takes it yet a step further: cinematic graphics are used exclusively, with no animation. At first I didn't think I'd care for it as much, but the characters have been infused with an even further level of development through the plot and scripting. I was also pleased to find that the annoyance level was turned down (i.e. main character didn't yell out 'Briarios' name 300 times through the movie). All in all, I felt this movie was a worthy installment in the Appleseed series. Here's a brief breakdown of the movie for ease of reading....
-Graphics/Animation: Top notch, character realism nearly rivals that of FF Advent Children.
-Music: Heavy hitting techno tunes for the action sequences; quite pleasing
-Scripting/Voices: Admirable job on voices and scripting, no complaints
-Plot/Character Development: Great focus on main characters, although almost to the point of making the plot a bit hazy. If you liked GITS storyline concepts, you'll definitely like this one; very in depth.
Movie Review: Amazing... best anime since the original
Summary: 5 Stars
If you saw the original Apleseed, you will definitely enjoy its sequel, Ex Machina. The characters are back in unbelievable visual and audio quality. Excellent plot as well; highly enjoyable to any anime/sci-fi fan!
Now that HD-DVD is going the way of the dodo, you can get a great deal on this movie if you already own a player.
