TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Sean Curtin This is one of the most amazing animated Cyberpunk films I've seen since Akira and Cyber City.This production is truly up there with works such as Final Fantasy The Spirits within.The level of art and realism in this movie is incredible.If your a fan of Cyberpunk your going to love this film.What annoyed me about the film and in fact the only thing that annoyed me was the artists vision for Deunan.Essentially the issue is that for someone who is wearing armored body jacket gear, I found myself questioning 'what is the point'. The issue is that she's wearing armor but her front section has her tits basically hanging in the breeze with a lousy tank top that says, 'hey shoot here, I'm an open target'. What's the point of wearing armor of you essentially expose yourself to having your tits blown off? So very poor gear for Deunan but everything else in the film is superb. I'm getting the sex sells vibe but seriously, Appleseed doesn't need this clichéd marketing nonsense. It would sell just as well without it and the story would actually benefit by taking into consideration some serious thought about the characters.Appleseed deserves outfits for it's characters that make sense, not just stupid nonsense that some weird persons wet dream is made of.Nothing to give away here, go watch the movie if your a fan of the series you will not be disappointed except for the obvious technical error that stands out like a raw prawn.An instant Cyberpunk classic.

meritcoba Lovely bosomGorgeous animations Empty visualsThe camera makes sure that we don't mistake Deunan Knute for a boy for in the opening scene it focuses on her bosom. It is hard to miss anyway as it is packed in a skintight white top that sticks out from her otherwise green combat armor. Guys need something to look at, I guess. The camera will come back to her discerning features at times so we can check if she hasn't been turned in a man somewhere along the line. Just so you know. Her exposed bosom and belly made me think of this book I once read that reported that most soldiers died from harm to their head and belly, both parts of her body that are not protected in her ridiculous outfit. That is really odd as Deunan is a mercenary eking out a living in the ruined city of New York, in a world not quite our own as it is devastated by a world war and has cyborgs and other artificial beings as inhabitants. One of those is her cyborg buddy with the fancy name of Briareos. Jack could have been enough because he acts like a human being in every respect. My guess is that it is probably because it is cool. The whole movie is a puzzle for it serves up all the staple manga ingredients: the little girl with the strange powers, the brooding hero, the loyal servant, the deadly girl and so on and so on. Deunan herself mostly functions as eye candy, for next to some scenes in which she actually fights, most of the time cyborg buddy, or some other guy, has to rescue her. And she is there so she can show her female side by occasionally breaking down in tears so her cyborg buddy can comfort her as the real man, eh robot, he is. The script is at times downright baffling. Why does this two horns guy try to kill Deunan and her cyborg? Because someone else tries to kill him because he wouldn't want to give them up or kill them. It is a movie for people who so dearly love manga that they will swallow any rubbish as long as there is a pretty girl in it and perhaps for those who want to see the latest state of animations that hasn't a big budget like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. The big question is why you would want to make an animated movie that aims to look real? You could have used actors instead and they would have had much more soul than these animated graphics.. The movie is nice to watch but otherwise an empty shell.

Boris Krmpotic This movie has failed badly.Influence of Americans is over the top American influence with drama is total garbage and totally missing the whole idea behind the storyStory is nowhere ,character development non existent, just a plain American pack a gun and shoot them all without any brains .This is embarrassment in comparison to previous two live stories.I am not surprised that this does not have JPN voice over!And it will never have it.This is simply not the idea that will sell anywhere but in U.S.AMy self personally will simply ignore this as part of This movie has failed badly.Influence of Americans is over the top American influence with drama is total garbage and totally missing the whole idea behind the storyStory is nowhere ,character development non existent, just a plain American pack a gun and shoot them all without any brains .This is embarrassment in comparison to previous two live stories.I am not surprised that this does not have JPN voice over!And it will never have it.This is simply not the idea that will sell anywhere but in U.S.AMy self personally will simply ignore this as heaving name Appleseed.

malignance Appleseed is one of my favourite anime series of all time. I think the magic of the series is the relationship of Deunan and Briareos, which is the main "glue" which holds the series together.This movie cements that with an early look at their pre-ESWAT days, (Especial Weapons & Tactics) for those not in the know.Unlike the first movie Appleseed and its follow-up Ex Machina, there are no glittering towers of beautiful buildings or people/bioroids living in a harmonious Utopia in the city of Olympus. This is a bombed to Hell urban landscape of mankind's own making and Deunan and Briareos do their best to exist in it while keeping sane and still in love with each other.The CGI is good, NOT great, but still very good at conveying this while the story, involving stopping a madman cyborg from kick starting another war is involving and action packed.It's also nice to hear David Matranga and Luci Christian continuing to do the voice acting for these two, I don't think Appleseed would be the same with these two talented voice actors.Our two heroes do their best and there are moments of real passion of dialogue in the movie, also some fun moments with witty banter while they take down battle droids out in the dust bowls of former cities reduced to dust.In summation, if your looking for a great intro to the Appleseed story, this is a good place to start, you'll see great action, good anime and a hint at the end of a follow-up movie which will no doubt continue their relationship when they reach Paradise (Olympus).
