This movie isn’t perfect but goddamn it’s stunning! The sceneries, production design and cgi were so well done, you can clearly see how much love and effort was put into this project. From the grand visuals of Asian culture mixed with futuristic technology to the designs of simple vehicles, everything was immaculately displayed and made the world feel real and tangible, something which is often missing in big budget cgi films. I hope more directors are given larger budgets to make unique fantastical worlds.
The story on the other hand is lacking. It’s a simple plot, with characters that aren’t very well developed and there isn’t much exploration into the philosophical problems posed by AI. These concepts have been portrayed in a lot of media already, like Ghost in the Shell (1995) for example, so it felt quite surface level here especially in 2023.
The acting was well done, especially from Madeleine Voyles (Alphie) who gave a stellar performance and I always enjoy seeing Ken Watanabe (Harun) in more roles. The pacing was also quite good so I was engaged till the end. Overall I had a decent experience and if you love Sci-Fi, this is definitely a world worth checking out.
