The fifth movie for <i>Detective Conan</i>, <b>Countdown to Heaven</b> is a very fast paced, action packed movie. The direction for the movie is overall very interesting and well done keeping viewers attention firmly focussed on the movie. Making good use of humour, variation in pacing and story development, it makes for an interesting view overall. A shame that a little more time couldn't be taken to allow viewers to keep pace more readily. The new characters introduced for the movie are all very well in character. The animation is theatrical quality with good detail in the background as well as a smooth scroll rate. Some very nice scenes as well as good attention to detail makes this a nice watch. The opening credits sequence while clearly CG animation is very nicely executed and makes for an intriguing opening sequence separate from the rest of the feature. Also noteworthy here is the soundtrack. A number of tracks in the soundtrack take advantage of strings, trumpets, flute and other instruments rather than synthesized tracks giving it that much more depth and feel.
