A beautiful and profound triumph. So many amazing shots; it's absolutelygorgeous.
I don't want to put a label on it but imagine both Blade Runners had sex with Akira. A home run first film for the director.👏
Is it perfect? No. Is it 5 stars? Yes.
It has one of the most devastating scenes I've ever seen, and you could only to it in animation: 1:16:30 til about 1:17:45....oof. got me. 😭😭😭
There's some issues with plot conveniences, but I'll forgive that for the tight Sub-90 runtime. That being said, I would have been fine with this being 15 min longer.
"Dear friends, you may fuck yourselves."
Also, sweet homages to Demolition Man and Halo... amongst others. ❤️🤟
