Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Shawn Watson I've been a big fan of Appleseed ever since I first bought the original VHS back when I was 17. The franchise saw reprints of the Manga come and go until the reboot and the 2007 sequel, both of which I also really enjoyed. This particular movie, despite being from the same creative team, is sadly not in continuity with the others and is a "soft retelling" of how Deunan Knute and her rabbit- eared cyborg boyfriend Briareos fought their way through a post-WIII America before arriving in Olympus City. It is by no means bad, but still a bit of a disappointment. I will chalk this up to the fact that Sony have gotten their dirty hands on the franchise since they have a long history of mis-managing pre- existing properties. This instalment honestly feels and looks more like one of the disposable CGI Resident Evil movies than Appleseed. There is a decent atmosphere in the empty cities and quiet, lifeless deserts but it doesn't have the gloss and tech that I am used to from this series. The tech on display here is old and war-scarred, adding a riff of grubbiness to it that I'm not used to. Plus, there's very little to identify with, Deunan seems to be the only pure human with no bio- mech augmentations. I know it's a clichéd criticism to make of such movies, but it did honestly make me feel like I was watching a video game cut-scene. A bit more of the human element would have balanced things out and eliminating that truly, truly, utterly awful soundtrack would have pushed my final score a little higher. The soundtrack was honestly so awful I was disappointed that there was no Japanese track on the Blu-ray. I would have happily read subtitles if it meant the removal of all those terrible hip-hop sounding songs. I don't know what Sony were thinking. I liked the Japanese textures of Appleseed, and their attempts to Westernize it just don't sit well with me as a fan. It's worth watching but definitely the least appealing in the entire series so far.

sdallas6969 Whether you liked the movie or not the guy that is the voice of two horns is an Amazing guy. Found out yesterday June 27 2017, that he has be diagnosed with Glioblastoma and has been given 13 months. there is a go fund me page for him and his family if anyone reads this and would like to help, if not please say a prayer for him and his family. I attached the link for the go fund me page but if this doesn't let it post you can go to the go fund site and search his name Wendels medical fund it will be the first one there big beautiful smile (blue shirt) in his picture. Don't think for a second he is a rich Hollywood type he is a hard working man that got a voice part, not rich by any means. https://www.gofundme.com/fd2e8-wendels-medical-fund thank you Sammy D.

Sean Curtin This is one of the most amazing animated Cyberpunk films I've seen since Akira and Cyber City.This production is truly up there with works such as Final Fantasy The Spirits within.The level of art and realism in this movie is incredible.If your a fan of Cyberpunk your going to love this film.What annoyed me about the film and in fact the only thing that annoyed me was the artists vision for Deunan.Essentially the issue is that for someone who is wearing armored body jacket gear, I found myself questioning 'what is the point'. The issue is that she's wearing armor but her front section has her tits basically hanging in the breeze with a lousy tank top that says, 'hey shoot here, I'm an open target'. What's the point of wearing armor of you essentially expose yourself to having your tits blown off? So very poor gear for Deunan but everything else in the film is superb. I'm getting the sex sells vibe but seriously, Appleseed doesn't need this clichéd marketing nonsense. It would sell just as well without it and the story would actually benefit by taking into consideration some serious thought about the characters.Appleseed deserves outfits for it's characters that make sense, not just stupid nonsense that some weird persons wet dream is made of.Nothing to give away here, go watch the movie if your a fan of the series you will not be disappointed except for the obvious technical error that stands out like a raw prawn.An instant Cyberpunk classic.

tgchan www.tgchan.pl ( I have seen the first "Appleseed" but it was years ago and I don't remember it at all ) Action from the very first minutes of the movie, accompanied with outstanding visuals! I must be very lucky, because it is my third post-apocalyptic movie in a pan of a month lol Cyborgs, robots, mechs, wanzers, whatever, this movie got lots of them and they all look great! The story seems to be interesting after 30min of watching, but the real thing is the eye candy animation. 55minutes have passed and the only thing I really disliked so far is the music... it really doesn't fit to the movie...And I have finished watching it... Overall it is a decent thing to watch, great visuals, OK story, a little mismatched music choice but it all keeps you entertained for an hour and half. As I have mentioned before, I have seen the first part of the Appleseed and even though I remember only bits of it, I think the first one was much better. Oh! one more thing, there is a little extra after credits so make sure you don't miss that! tgchan's rating: 6/10
