Movie Reviews of You're Under Arrest - The Motion Picture
Movie Review: An Arresting Development
Summary: 3 Stars
A little action, a little comedy, a little drama, and a solid story wrapped up in some very fine animation makes "You're Under Arrest: The Movie" enticing to watch and own. Though more serious with an overall darker tone as compared to the light-hearted tv series, the movie paces itself with the antics of the police partner duo Miyuki and Natsumi yet stays like that at best.
The crisp animation of the actions sequences and theatrical aura will give viewers a ride for their money but the abrupt red lights in the form of brow-raising still frames leave goers bewildered and dazed. Though sparce and lasting only a second or two, they appear in the midst of heated action sequences and temporarily suspend you in your seat and cut off interest until the moment passes.
The storyline itself is intriguing and pushes the series towards an interesting direction. However, the 90mins doesn't allow for the story to develop much and sink in. Things often seem too rushed and the end leaves a bitter sweet satisfaction.
In terms of audio, the 5.1 Surround Sound makes listening a breeze.
Good not great. The movie has great potential but doesn't bring in the thrill viewers are accustomed to watching from the series. Overall, it's still worth having and you'll find yourself eyeing it once in a while.
Summary of You're Under Arrest - The Motion Picture
The 1999 theatrical feature of You're Under Arrest turns the rather tame "fan service" comedy into a straightforward cop movie. After a year of training in other areas of police work, Miyuki and Natsumi return to Bokuto Police Station. In the broadcast series and specials, they went after panty thieves and peeping toms. This time, a gang of terrorists has obtained the plan for a simulated attack created for police training--and they're putting it into action. Instead of the usual showers and locker room scenes, director Junji Nishimura offers outrageous chase sequences involving patrol cars, motorcycles, boats, and helicopters. Miyuki and Natsumi save the day, but the fast-paced action can't quite cover the gaping holes in the plot. The terrorists are thwarted, but never identified, and no one explains how attacking a small Tokyo police station is tied to sabotaging global financial institutions.
