Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Leuron Noegard When I first watched this Anime I didn't know anything about it, but it turned out to be the best Anime I've ever seen!! I love the drama and the romance, and the whole epic feeling (The musical score is just great). I love the darkness mood of the movie too, and for those who love dramatic stories, and dark stories, I really advise you to see this, you'll really enjoy it very much, it's really well made and with feelings, much of the anime out there don't have them, I like movies with feelings and great stories, it's essential.. Well, the drawings are amazing too and the characters have rich personalities. This Anime lies in my heart, and if you let yourself in, you too will enjoy it!!

noblerebeller I saw this film for the first time two years ago, and my general opinion of it wasn't cemented until I watched it again. It really is a beautiful work; the animation quality is very enriched, and the narrative, both simple as a groundwork is able to create a sense of many layers under its surface. I have never seen the series in it's entirety, but the movie alone works well as a fantastic adventure, if not an often violent one, and the heart of the work; the maturing love between Hitomi and Van touched me the most. The last scene made me cry.I will often value a movie great when it stands out on several levels, and in this case the strongest feeling I came away with was a sincere empathy for the characters. Really great movies will do that, and I think this is one.

SonicStuart I remembered the Escaflowne TV-Series that came on Fox Kids Saturday Mornings but had no clue why did they cancel it. But the movie on the other side of the coin was that it had more violence and had blood cuts. But the movie had really great animation to it and I really liked the whole plot of the movie. The movie all begins about this one high school girl named Hitomi who keeps having these weird dreams that go through her mind. So then she gets sent to this different world the moment she wakes up! Van the Prince of an abandon kingdom is now trying to defeat his evil brother Folken who is now trying to destroy the Empire of Zaibach. So now with the power of Escaflowne, Hitomi and Van most fight for freedom!Star Rating: ***** out of 5BOTTOM LINE: IF YOU REMEMBER THIS SERIES FROM FOX KIDS WATCH THIS MOVIE!

rocket26 The show of Escaflowne, the Anime show with 26 episodes, has changed my life in more than one way. For one it changed my opinion on anime, but also introduced me to a message board, where I met an incredible person.However, my comments are about the movie, and not the show, and about the show itself, and not about the good things that happened to me after watching it.The show run was amazing, and the final DVD had a Trailer of the movie. I was amazed by it, however, I was warned it would not be like the series. That didnt matter to me, and I went to see it.The movie was confusing, they did not explain WHY the characters were able to use this power, and even though the graphics were stunning, it was not enough to save this movie from a terrible, unexplained plot.
