Movie Reviews of Voices of a Distant Star
Movie Review: Shinkai's first but not his best
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought this movie was alright. It was a bit sad and it was interesting and well done but I didn't like it all that much. I saw 5 centimeters per second before seeing this movie and I liked 5 centimeters per second much much better. Not bad to check out but I think you can expect better from Shinkai's later releases.
Summary of Voices of a Distant Star
Although it looks like a studio work, Voices of a Distant Star is a personal film, made almost entirely by a single artist, Makoto Shinkai. Mikako and Noboru are separated at the beginning of high school in 2046. She's accepted into the training program for mecha pilots to fight the aliens who attacked human settlements on Mars. As she moves across the miles and, ultimately, light years, she sends messages that the forlorn Noboru patiently awaits. The animation is largely restricted to camera moves over still artwork and CG objects, but Shinkai is a skillful enough director to tell this melancholy sci-fi romance through the strong music and vocal tracks. Voices of a Distant Star packs more of an emotional punch than many elaborate studio films. (Rated 13 and older, but suitable for viewers 2 years younger: minor violence) --Charles SolomonAnimation DVD Video
