    Was definately interesting. The premise was good.

    If you want action scifi, this is what you need to watch.

    This movie marks the point at which "stunning modern visuals", meaning the CG style, is no longer enough to keep me satisfied. The way I see it, this style of animation is the new standard so it can't be visuals only lik...( read more)e FF:The Spirits Within.

    Many of this story's elements are very similar to Appleseed. They fit the same sub-genre of scifi and have essentially the same protagonist. So though the template of a heroine in a war-ridden future grappling with the issue of android life is the same, many unique elements exist such as the giant masses of metal called "jags", the future vision of Tokyo Japan, and the uncovered root of the conflict.

    Um, I just have to say that Vexille looks like a cool video game. I don't know if that's a good thing, though. The story was a bit "meh" and the characters didn't really jump out at me. A decent movie, but I'm glad that I rented it instead of buying.

    The first half of the movie is excellent. The second half is a touch predictable and drags. It would have been an amazing movie if it could have kept the pace and involvement of the first half. The effects / animation are extremely well done.

    Gorgeous looking anime, set in the world of 2077 when a small group of Americans must infiltrate Japan, long since isolated, to discover the new technological threat they may pose.

    Absolutely beautiful animation offsets the overlong story, this is well worth a look in Blu-ray.

    u kno despite its faults i really enjoyed it after seeing it a second time. reminds me of advent children both have problems but theyre both exciting and fast paced which is exactly what i was hoping for :D

    Some admittedly cool action sequences strung together by a premise and design sensibility that rank among the most RIDICULOUS I've ever seen.
