Logan D In an alternate reality the countries of earth are at peace. However, some form of war is seen as needed to captivate the population. Kildren, genetically created persons that are stuck in adolescence, are used by two corporations to fly war planes against each other. The arrival of a new pilot, Kannami, reveals secrets held by his commanding officer. I had no idea this was from the same director as Ghost in the Shell, which I had never seen but viewed a few weeks later. Unlike Shell, this film isn't as action packed and requires more patience. I was captivated by the hypnotic composition of the scenes and the teasing out of mystery. The aerial scenes are impressive and have a photo-realism to them. It's a thought-provoking film which I'll likely view again sometime. There is a post credits scene Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Audience Member A terrific opening sequence ushers in the strange, complex and compelling storyline that gets fairly distracted a few times between major plot points. The visuals combined with the score are almost as riveting as what the story conjures up in zest Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review peter m Beautiful and sad is the best description i can provided. Coupled with that is trying to understand the mystery, of which there is no clear answer to. Watch and come to your own conclusion - make sure you have a hanky as you may cry. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Futuristic and retro. Modern and vintage. Intriguing movie, excellent for war movie fans! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is extremely well done, with very well done combination of CGI and classic anime animation. I need to point out that Sony gave the false impression that this was an action packed film filled with dogfights and explosions. However this is not that type of movie; this movie's overall tone is sombre, slow and philosophical. Whilst the flying scenes are mesmerizing, be prepared to sit through many slow paced scenes throughout the majority of the movie, which is done on purpose and is integral to the story and message. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I have not been so bored since I tried to watch one of those Kirk Cameron bible-drama movies. I am the kind of guy that can fun at the DMV. I am the kind of guy that can get fascinated by paint drying. I am the kind of guy that can write poetry about the grass that I am watching growing while conversing with a tortoise. THIS IS DULL! DULL DULL DULL!!!!
