Apple fans won't enjoy this movie :D
Ok... what the actual fuck is this movie? The story makes no sense and the leads are painful to watch. Add to that shitty pacing, editing and direction and you got yourself a major turd. This is not what I expected based on the many character actors in this (they are barely even on screen)...
I'm 27 and I just saw this anime for the first time. In fact, it's the first anime I ever saw and I only watched it because a friend kept telling me how great it was. It had been sitting on my shelf for over two years and last night I figured: what the hell, let's try it.
This movie blew me away. It so perfectly captures the innocence and the exploratory nature of childhood. It enables you to view an ordinary day through the viewpoint of two ordinary young girls. It shows how boring we adults are, and how much fantasy, discovery, emotions and playfulness we have lost since we were kids. There's no macho behaviour, no bad guys, no evil to beat, just two kids growing up in a normal life, but extraordinarily presented.
A perfect coming-of-age movie and one of the most impressive movies I've ever seen. Already one of my all-time favourites. If the rest of Hayao Miyazaki's films are anything close to this, he will have a new lifelong fan.
And i don't understand ketu's review.
This movie was so bad and sometimes so dumb that i had to laugh my ass off.
One of my highlights is this scene:
The mood is intense. Will Smiths Char is on the best way to bleed out. He wants to record a message for his wife. It is possible that this is his last message ever. So he starts the record and says:
"Record Message. 'I think i lost the contact to our boy' End of Message".
Really, i laughed so hard. It was that dumb and the most senseless Message ever that i laugh again when i think about it.
And this is not the only scene like that.
- The creatures are so boring; without any imagination.
- Jaden is so whiny
- and so on.
I am a SciFi Fan so i am fine if the setting has some scifi panels and a nice background (future, earth without humans).
But even I can not to give more than 2 Hearts for this. And the ending is just bad.
my rating: 2/10
