 Rating:  - My quest began with a riddle...This is one of the best films I've ever seen. There are two main types of science fiction, one trying to extrapolate real possibilites of existinc science with a taste for adventure. The other is an exploration of mankind from within using science fiction as a background. The first type is fun, but over time it becomes the "Buck Rogers", the "Jules Verne Steampunk" stuff. The second type is usually not well recieved at its time, but becomes classic over the years, "The Time Machine" by Wells, ...

The artwork is superb, the sound track is very well suited to the story and theme, and the story is even better. A true classic. Some people don't like the animation, but I find it much better than the garbage 'anime' that is produced today. I wish that it would be produced in DVD format. This is a must for any SciFi fan's collection. Rating: - A thinkers AnimationI feel sorry for the guy who missed out on this film. It like many films that jar the old grey matter are bypassed in the mainstream for flash and flesh that have little else to sustain interest. I loved Akira, but its a different film, like comparing the subtle humor and thought in Local Hero to the flash and chaotic carnage of 28 Days Later, different animals.

Rating: - Animation that makes you thinkFirst off, to the guy who can only say "sucks" and "crappiness" without any real content in his post, i'm sorry you require your movies to do your thinking for you. If you find yourself wishing the movie would end so you can do something else, just stand up and turn it off and save your biliousness for yourself. The animation, while definitely 80's, fits the story perfectly. The movie is a good rendition of a book and tells the story better than most book to movie conversions. There seem ...

I thought the film was great, and the story was really, well, for lack of a better term, 'awesome'. The entire paradox issue, and the fantastic storytelling (come on, it's Asimov for gods sake) can make one completely overlook the bad 80's American animation. Can someone find the artist for "Heavy Metal" and arrest them? thanks. Anyway, one of the reviewers mentioned "If you can stand this crappy animation for more than 5 minutes...". ... Read More |
