Movie Reviews of The Venus Wars

Movie Review: one of the best three animes of all time
Summary: 5 Stars

The Venus Wars is a classic piece of Japanese Animation with a story that never grows old. Fantastic vistas and fantastic confrontations make this a valuable addition to anyone's anime collection.

A professional monobike racing team gets thrown into a planetary war on Venus. Fights will be fought and lives will be lost, but don't let it fool you- there is much more to the plot than an intergalactic slug fest.

Summary of The Venus Wars

Yoshikazu Yasuhiko directed this 1989 feature based on his own manga. The new frontier of Venus has degenerated into a dystopia ravaged by the civil war between Ishtar and Aphrodia. Bubbly reporter Susan Sommers arrives in the capitol of Aphrodia just before it's captured by Ishtar. She falls in with a bunch of teen-agers who live for a sort of motorcycle version of Roller Derby. Daredevil rider Hiro and his friends reluctantly join the struggle to free Aphrodia from the invaders. Not surprisingly, Hiro proves an ace at piloting the mono-cyles that are the Aphrodians' secret weapon in the key battle. Venus Wars holds better than many early anime features. The American-influenced designs may annoy purists, but the characters are well developed and the battle scenes well staged, despite the limited technological resources available at the time. (Rated 13 and older: violence, profanity, alcohol use, risqu? humor) --Charles Solomon
