Editorial Reviews:
2067: Isolation. Japan seals herself off from the eyes of the world in the face of unilateral international policy setting strict limits on the use of robotic technology. The island nation exists only behind a veil of seclusion. No soul shall enter. No soul shall leave.

2077: Revelation. The veil is breached. Japan is infiltrated by agents of the organization S.W.O.R.D., a fighting force operating outside of the protection of the United States and her allies. Their mission: Determine if the Japanese are developing banned robotic bio-technology, forbidden due to its threat to humankind.

In the battle between machine and man, humanity stands to suffer most.

    Summary: Great story and animation
    Comment: It's a great movie with a great story and nigh end animation. The extras are good but don't expect to see too much detail on the 'making of' if you are an animator.

    Summary: great background & non-human visuals, ho-hum action story
    Comment: There are some very nice CGI backgrounds and non-human visuals in this movie, but the human character designs seem to use lazy man's version of animating modern anime human faces, ie: use motion capture, then paint with pastel like colors over the actor. Sure, it's lazy, but it also looks too fake, and really doesn't use any artistic imagination. The story is run of the mill action, not overly interesting.

    Summary: Decent story, good animation
    Comment: I was impressed with the overall story in Vexille. I'd put it in the same category as Appleseed or Ghost in the Shell (the latter having even more complicated plot lines). i thought the animation was good but not great. It was a little over the top, in my view, looking too animated. I thought it lacked sublety, if that makes any sense.

    Otherwise, I enjoyed the movie. Probably should have waited for the special edition because I usually enjoy the features and this version didn't have any.

    Summary: Rivetting!
    Comment: This was done by the same folks that did the new Appleseed.

    All I can say is WOW!

    The story is strong and the animation is dizzying...

    Amazing work... I'm glad I own it.

    Summary: Kind of a paranoid "Ghost in the Shell"
    Comment: Ah, the anime market is a diffult place to wander. So much out there, but 90% is really niche, junk, or unoriginal. Here, Japan is isolated by the UN because of extreme experimentations conducted with imperial ambition in mind. When the state of afairs is hinted at to the outside world, an American team (who all look a tad Asian) is sent in, with less-than-fortuitious results.

    I can't say I'm a fan of the motion capture or "so real it's creepy" animation. (Give me the good old stuff - I far prefer Harlock and Area 88, but that's a matter of taste). That said - recommended to fans of Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed.
