Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Ex3vd I Can't believe i just discover Hayao Miyazaki most great movies only in 2018, i need to say "Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi / Spirited Away" didn't get me like i wanted, and i just put this movies in the drawer, but now i finally watched some of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli movies and every single one have this magnificent beauty that i still can't explain exactly, like the mix of reality and fantasy so deep that sometimes make me forget that i'm watching an animated movie.This one is the precursor of "Mononoke-hime / Princess Mononoke" but happens in the future, and is totally great and joyness to watch, the animation is sharp on the minimum details even for this days, for real it's is even better than a lot of animation movies from this days. The history is simple but is more and more actually with each passing day. And how they make some futuristic flying Ships is just unbelievable for a movie of 1984, also everything in the world of this movie reminds me the game Final Fantasy VI (1994), i don't know why, but make me think about. And how cool would be an actual game of this history.
invisibleunicornninja This movie is absolutely fantastic. The animation is great. The story is great. The concept is great. I have no complaints. I would highly recommend watching this movie.
paystchr In 1984, Hayao Miyazaki released this awesome movie. In 1985, unfortunately, a studio heavily edited the film, and until 2005, it was the only copy of the film with English dubbing. But thanks to Disney, Nausicaa can now be enjoyed in its original story, timeless yet powerful. 1,000 years after an event where giant warriors incinerated the Earth, a toxic jungle spreads, threatening the survival of humanity. A young warrior/pacifist/princess Nausicaa, loves to explore this toxic jungle. Then, one night, a ship crashes by the kingdom, and a giant warrior embryo is onboard. Another kingdom then takes over the valley, and Nausicaa is taken hostage. In a turn of events, Nausicaa finds a secret under the jungle, and must stop the Tolmekians from destroying it. The film is a well put together film. The animation stands out very well, and the film is awesome. The film is a visual masterpiece. It is perfect. It had me captivated from start to finish. My highest rating, goes to Nausicaa.
grantss Mildly interesting.An animated fantasy-adventure. Set 1,000 years from now, the earth is ravaged by pollution and war. In the Valley of the Wind lives Nausicaa, princess of her people. Their land borders on a toxic jungle, filled with dangerous over-sized insects. Meanwhile two nearby nations are bitterly engaged in a war and the Valley of the Wind is stuck in the middle...A so-so movie. Was reasonably interesting initially but the story lacked focus or engagement as it went on. It is really just one long rambling story, filled with random turns of events. There's no character depth or variety - characters are either good guys or bad guys, and clearly and stereotypically so. There is no grey.No profundities, except some half-hearted, naive attempts at statements about war and the environment.Kids will enjoy it (the hero is a young girl, after all, so kids must be the target market). Intelligent adults will find it average, even tedious.
