Movie Reviews of Appleseed (Widescreen) (2004)
Movie Review: Awesome!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I caught the last half of this movie while waiting for another at an anime festival. I didn't really understand much, but the first thing I really liked was the animation. It's not top-notch, but I don't care. It is, after all, an anime, which means that everyone doesn't have to look real...so people...stop complaining about the fifty strands of Deunan's hair--it rocks!
I didn't understand why the movie was rated R until I saw the beginning. It's basically a chase scene, and a bunch of robots squeeze off these soldier dude's heads. I couldn't bring myself to watch that part, so I just skip the first chapter. And then there are a few other times where people get shot and there's a pool of blood under them, but that's about it.
I haven't watched the Japanese version yet, but I do have to say that I do not mind the English. They had to make the english dialogue fit the mouth movements, so the words don't always exactly match up with the mouth, but I don't think that it's that bad. The voiceovers match a whole lot better than some other anime that Geneon has edited. I wouldn't say that they were the best voiceovers ever, but they're tolerable.
I gave this movie five stars for the the excellent (yet somewhat predictable) story line and graphics. I think that giving this movie four stars just because the character movement is somewhat flowy is too much of an insult---the animation is just fine!!!
