Movie Reviews of Escaflowne: Movie [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: The Best Way to Watch Escaflowne
Summary: 5 Stars
Being one of my favourite animes the Blu-Ray release of the Escflowne movie was always on my shopping list, despite owning the DVD already.
The film itself is a lot cleaner and with noticeably more detail in the darker scenes compared to the DVD, and it also comes with the added bonus that the Japanese track is now in Dolby 5.1 TrueHD. Therefore, I am not remotely disappointed by the Blu-Ray release and feel it was well worth picking up.
Thus, if you want to own Escaflowne the movie, the Blu-Ray is the only release to get imho.
Summary of Escaflowne: Movie [Blu-ray]
ESCAFLOWNE:MOVIE - Blu-Ray MovieEscaflowne is a sprawling adventure saga that infuses sword-and-sorcery and mecha elements into the popular "magical girl" anime genre. The girl is Hitomi Kanzaki (voice by Kelly Sheridan), a withdrawn teenager who wishes she could just leave everything behind and vanish. When she's magically transported to the alternate world of Gaia, she gets her wish--in spades. The dashing Van (Kirby Morrow) of the White Dragon Clan is pitted against his twisted brother Folken (Paul Dobson), the leader of the Black Dragon Clan, in a succession war that threatens the very existence of Gaia. Hitomi is hailed as the long-awaited "Wing Goddess," and her power over the invincible dragon-mecha suit Escaflowne confirms her status. Although the tangled story line has been pared down, the feature remains a reworking of the 26-part TV series The Vision of Escaflowne, which aired briefly on Fox Kids and is available on DVD. Fans of the television series will find that many of the familiar characters have been redesigned and reduced to minor roles, among them Allen, Princess Millerna, Dryden, Merle, Naria, and Eriya. Some of the story's more outré elements have been dropped, but there are still more prophecies, conflicts, and relationships than the filmmakers can resolve satisfactorily in 96 minutes, despite a pat happy ending. Escaflowne boasts some impressive action sequences, which Kazuki Akane directs with panache. The film opens with a spectacular sword fight, as Van single-handedly dispatches the guards on an enemy airship to capture Escaflowne. MPAA rating: PG-13. Contains considerable violence. --Charles Solomon
