Movie Reviews of Voices of a Distant Star
Movie Review: A Classic.
Summary: 5 Stars
Yeah its short, yeah the animation isn't top notch, and yeah the english voice acting could be better. But you know what? None of that matters because this is one of the best animes i've ever seen. Not much action, no mindless violence or blood... The story here is love and what it would feel like to literally be separated between time and space from that special someone. Makoto Shinkai is one of my favorite anime directors and it was this 25 minute movie that got me hooked on him. Even people who are tough as nails will find it hard not to feel moved by this wonderful story. In case you still haven't decided if you want this DVD yet, then you're only punishing yourself!Movie Review: Love can transend time and space.

I really enjoyed "Voices..." It was a superb piece of art, and the story telling coupled with the meloncholy soundtracks is unrivled. However I (and maybe everyone who has watched "Voices...") wished that it was a bit longer ( 30 minutes is a bit short for character development or anything else for that matter) however Makoto Shinkai did a superb job especially since it was done mostly by himself and it is his first time creating a 30 minute movie. I really recommend this to anyone who enjoyes anime (however the ending just might piss you off a little...)I really hope that this isn't the last time we see the star crossed and space seperated lovers.Movie Review: Beautiful Film

I picked this up for rental while looking for an Anime movie in Blockbuster. I had noted how it was only half an hour in length on the box, but it intrigued me anyway. I was amazed. This movie blends sound tracks, images and dialogue into a heart touching story. I watched it both subbed and dubbed, and both were amazing. I recommend watching it dubbed first, then looking at the subbed version (the subbed version prints up what is written in Japanese on the screen) and give a slightly different twist to the movie. Also, 'She and her Cat' is a wonderful accompanying short. If you are a fan of anime, or of a beautiful story and short films, I highly recommend this film.Movie Review: This is Beyond Anime
Summary: 5 Stars
I would give it less stars if I looked at this DVD and was disappointed by it's short lenght, which is about 30 mins. It's not a big epic story anime with great character development or that much of any plot or action at all. I am only looking at the film for what it is. It's a short indy anime film with gorgeous art work and sheer poetic expressions of the creator. The film was almost all entirely done by one person. "Voices of a Distant Star" and it's DVD extra called "She and her Cat" are two beautiful stories of unconditional love that transcends beyond the loneliness of time, space and even words. Definitely touching and worthwhile to own.Movie Review: Surprising!

Well i first rented this movie in a video store since they have a 2 for 1 when you rented after 11:00 pm i pick this movie since the title sound cute and cool... i watched this movie without hoping it to be anything great... gosh!!! I am so glad i've rented it... i mean it's kinda surprise me since it's only a 30 minutes movie, but Whoa!! the movie itself is completed... nothing too complicated...the story is so simple yet so wonderful...A simple love story very well made... the soundtrack is also nice so i end up buying it too...just make sure you rented it before you buy it....because some people might find it a little slow...
