Movie Reviews of Voices of a Distant Star
Movie Review: Simply Wonderful
Summary: 4 Stars
I picked up this short film (~25 minutes) at an anime convention. The art is simply beautiful. About 5 minutes into watching it, I was really annoyed with the subtitles moving too fast and taking up a third of the screen; so I switched to the English dub. To my surprise, the English language track was well done. It was nicely acted and the voices matched the characters properly. This is mostly an art film. A short story about lovers separated by space and time. It reminded me a bit of Orson Scott Card's "Speaker for the Dead" (or Einstein's theory of space travel if you want to split hairs). The girl travels far out in space aging days, while her love back home ages years. The further out she travels, the longer her messages take to get back home. The pain of these two aching lovers is real and sad, and at the same time beautiful.As usual, ADV charges a lot more than they should for this movie. The "Girl and Cat" short 5 minute story was nice little supplement, though. So even though the price may seem a little steep, I think it's worth it for this lovely piece of art.
