Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

georgeballard The other Armitage movies I watched are also excellent, and this one did not let me down. This is a good mix of story, human emotion, animation, and action. It is always a good thing to see an emotional story that's not overshadowed by the animation or the action. This movie has just the right mix, in my opinion. All of the characters from the good guys and the little girl, to those characters "on the side lines", and even the bad guy(s), seem very believable to the point of realistic... if of course, you buy into the futuristic high-tech gadgets and equipment. On second thought, some of the high-tech stuff is not all that futuristic. Those who do not like this movie are perhaps over-analyzing, rather than enjoying the ride.

Arielle Here's why: Armitage is awesome!!She's soo totally in-your-face Ross is kinda good looking for a cartoon character. It keeps you thinking & questioning things all the way through. It's got everything a great show needs: corruption, murder, romance, mystery, suspense,Great fight scenes,Cool outfits.....need I go on?? The ending rocks.

OberonBob I hate to make a comment on this movie, as I just watched the obviously butchered movie version. I have not seen the original version, and I can see some signs of greatness in the chopped to pieces version I saw, but over all it was a huge mess. no pacing, no plot cohesiveness, bad dubbing. Do yourself a favor, and watch the original 4 tape version, it has to be better than this crap. Now, if I can just find a copy of it.

Peaches-11 I am a relative newcomer to Anime having only seen about 9 or so feature length films and episodes from about 6 different TV shows. Someone recommended Armitage I'm glad I saw it. Although not as popular as Ghost in the Shell or Akira it is the best I've seen after those two. Like most anime Armitage is set in the near future. In this case probably about 2050, on Mars.Armitage suffers from a few minor plots holes and some visual problems but not too much worse then any movie. Armitage herself sometimes has some inhuman facial expressions (like most anime, think Dragonball Z but not ass exagerated as Slayers) This movie has a great plot and although, yes, it is a similar plot to Blade Runner, by definition so does any cop and androids movie. Besides Blade Runner wasn?t even the first with that plot? just the first really popular one. No one says Under Siege ripped off Die Hard just ?cause they are both about the good guy being in the right place to beat on some terrorists. (Sorry I just hate when people think that anything with a simlar plot HAD to have ripped it off) Anyway...The plot is a little more developed then some anime but again, not as good as Ghost in the Shell although that may come from being put together from a miniseries with some scenes removed. Someday I?ll have to see the original four episodes. Armitage has a great sound track that goes well with the animation and plot. Visually it is average, not as nice as Ghost, or Akira but better than Dragonball Z or Titan AE.
