Movie Reviews of Ergo Proxy, Volume 1: Awakening
Movie Review: Future Shock
Summary: 5 Stars
Romdo was a domed city, a place where humans and robots lived together, in peace and love. A utopia of the future, with complete government control and happiness for all. Yeah, right. Mix Blade Runner, Ghost In The Shell and Witch Hunter Robin into a big bowl and you have Ergo Proxy.
It seems that robots are going nuts, even praying, and Re-I Mayer of the Intelligence Bureau wants to know what's going on. Is it a virus, a man made plot or is God really doing something to the robots? Why do all the robots try to flee the city using the same pathway? And why are humans being murdered? Is everything linked or is there something else going on in the background?
Four interesting episodes and some lame extras in the form of boring previews. That's the only problem with the disc. Not much in the way of anything extra. Is Geneon getting cheap on us? But the story, artwork and character design is enough of a reason to at least check out the first DVD. On the other hand, if the second disc only has three episodes and no extras I might think twice before buying it.
