Mars Express
Réalisé par Jérémie PérinEn l’an 2200, Aline Ruby, détective privée obstinée, et Carlos Rivera son partenaire androïde sont embauchés par un riche homme d’affaires afin de capturer sur Terre une célèbre hackeuse.

Noctis est leur ville, une utopie libertarienne rendue possible par les progrès en robotique, emblème d’un futur tourné vers les étoiles. Au fil de leur enquête, ils seront confrontés aux plus sombres secrets de leur cité ; ses institutions corrompues, ses trafics, ses fermes cérébrales, et les magouilles des toutes puissantes corporations. Mais des tueurs cyber augmentés ont eux aussi pris pour cible Jun Chow. Aline et Carlos se lancent dans une course désespérée pour sauver cette jeune femme qui, sans le savoir, détient un secret capable de menacer l’équilibre précaire sur lequel repose leur civilisation.
Mars Express Notations et commentaires
- Varun19 octobre 2024Damn I had a really good time with this movie. It gets into the action right from the start and never lets you catch your breath. The pacing is fast and concise. The procedural investigation is interesting. The characters were pretty cool. The action scenes are tense. The animation is really good. I suspect some may not like this film for a couple of reasons. The sci-fi genre of robots and AI has been done many times before and there’s a preference for slower world building and an appetite for a different exploration of themes. And people also love using futuristic worlds to escape in. I know I had the same subconscious desires and my mind wanted an easy to understand story, but I was really glad that the movie treated me like an adult and had a singular focused vision for the plot. I think this futuristic setting still has new ideas to offer and the past inspirations it took from have some really nice spins to them. I’d definitely recommend seeing it on a bigger screen with a good sound system as the heightened tension during most scenes really hits hard. This is probably an 8/10 story wise but the script bumps it up to a 9 thanks to the adrenaline pumped fun it added to my experience.

- neuroparadox29 juillet 2025A 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. ❤️🤟
- ahwoo10 février 2026What a trip !
- Jeremiah16 décembre 2025Dug this a lot. Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner, iRobot, Robocop, neo noir vibes aplenty with pretty darn great animation and style. Artistically, its both stylistic and also realistic (in a cartoon way) pretty much everything is on point and done with upmost quality. No-nonsense with existential themes of technology. Could use a better title but for all the other things its got going for it thats a pretty tiny con.
- Bob Belote30 novembre 2025Fun cyberpunk French anime
- David2Play29 novembre 2025Good animation
- Chris C2 septembre 2025There's a surprisingly deep plot underneath the beautiful animation here. The style isn't exactly what you're used to probably, but it ends up working very well for the story. There are some really nice action scenes and the "investigation" details are well done. I was all set to give this 4 stars, until the very end, which felt kind of sudden to me and a bit of a letdown. Even with that, though, it's still a very entertaining ride and well worth the time for any sci-fi fan, as you'll get to experience a great animated movie.
- Logan Smith9 août 2025So good but such a weak ending
- Rowan Krzysiak3 juillet 2025A film that doesn't really have its own direction and ends up falling in between the gaps of the more thought provoking or exciting works it pays homage to. There's a lazy attention to detail with the world setting and the character development feels immature, ultimately failing in its attempt to evoke any real empathy. The pleasant visuals could've allowed for some leeway but the concluding third is laughable. Confused.
- cyberbillp24 juin 2025What a great movie. Great story, great animation, really. It grabs you from the beginning and never lets go. I liked it a lot. It made me think of Heavy Metal, Planet Of The Apes and a little Total Recall. If films of that ilk interest you, then give this one a try.
- KennyBarroz2 février 2025Amazing! very good story and also some very good esthetics in form of world and drawings. A nice fresh contribution to the sci-fi anime collection 👌 5/5
