2001/04/06 Best! [Unable to delete by yourself/Suggest to delete/Only this reviewer/]
by Fab
Certainly one of the best films, not just animes, around. I recently saw the digital re-release of the film and I must say that it's just as powerful as it was the first time I saw it almost eleven years ago. This was the film that introduced me to the world of anime. The sheer magnitude of the work is awe-inspiring.
Yes, the film has its flaws; however, taking the film in the greater contex of it's creation one can truly say that it is a technical masterpiece.
There are those who look to it for flaws in the detail whether that concerns the graphic depictions or the plot but those details are its greatest strength. Additionally, when first went to see the movie those many moons ago I knew nothing of the film, after I came out of the theatre I was stunned...stunned to see animation approach a level of complexity that I had not seen before. And yes there have been animated films to come afterwards with surpassed the quality found in this film, however, none has the ....fiestyness or heart of this film. One final note, the soundtrack is also by far the best musical ochestration I have heard.
If one has the opportunity to purchase it, do so. It adds a certain depthness to the film which is a one point jubilant to hauntingly eerie. So I will say the Akira is my favorite film of all time.
Peace
