    This has to be one of the best anime movies ever. It has action, drama, and some of the best science fiction ever. I also love the government conspiracy and post world war 3 setting. The movie really captures the inane distrust we all have in government at one time or another. Get this movie.

    Utter brilliance that just gets better each time I watch it. Easily my favorite animated film ever by a wide margin, and one of my top 5 favorite movies, period. The quality of the animation itself is also superior to all the rest. The story will mess with your head, but don't miss the main point--a commentary on politics, science, and culture, and how history tends to repeat itself.

    Quite possibly the greatest anime ever made. Katsuhiro Otomo has crafted together a story so creative and original. The animation is so good that nearly twenty years later it's better than half the anime seen today. Yeah, the hype is real.
