Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

suite92 The Three Acts:The initial tableaux: This animated feature is set in the year 2400 AD. In the past, great destructive actions destroyed much of surface-based human civilization. Since then, humanity has rebuilt itself as digital entities that exist on server networks that are located in orbit around Earth. This cyber universe is called DEVA.There is an unexpected hack into the computers of DEVA. The hack is instigated by a surfaced based person, 'Frontier Setter.' Third Security Officer Angela Balzac is sent to the surface to deal with the problem. She is sent in a material body supported by a powered exoskeleton with high speed computer links to DEVO in orbit. Computers monitor her health and keep her in good shape. Her ground contact is Dingo.Dingo and Angela take an immediate dislike of one another. To compound this, huge sand worms attack early on, and the communications link Angela depends on for health and information retrieval is broken. What to do? Complete the mission.Delineation of conflicts: The hacker has secrets that they wish to keep secret. Angela and Dingo are tasked with ferreting this out, and correcting the situation. This is trickier with Angela's links cut. Once Dingo and Angela find the hacker, everything changes, and the pair have new challenges to deal with.Resolution: Perhaps the next in human evolution was not a step forward.

arturodv1996 just finished this Anime film tonight called Expelled from Paradise and I thought it was good. When I saw a trailer for it, I thought it would be good for Toonami, and it could be, but since I watched it already, lets see if it will interest you guys . The plot takes place in a time where people have been digitized and are in a new world in a space computer. But someone/something is trying to hack into their world, so a woman by the name Angela Balzac, goes down to earth (where humans now have a hard time living in this apocalyptic world). She comes down to find the hacker and to rendezvous with a man named Dingo. When they meet, well, the first thing is trouble - and that's where the story starts. It later has a twist where you think the bad isn't bad sort of thing. But after it was over I had this feeling where I wish there was more to their journey and I would have liked to see what they were doing even after the film fully ended. There are few clips in the middle of the credits, and at the very end of the credits, just a two or three second thing and that's it; the last clip was very short. I thought Steve Blum (Dingo) and Wendee Lee (Angela) did a great job as well as Johnny Yong Bosch (Frontier Setter). I enjoyed watching it all the way until the end. I don't know how many people would watch it and like it, but I guess you could watch it to find out for yourself. The animation was good - it had that 3D-ish type of feeling and a mixture of anime. It also had a Matrix feel to it because of the world that Angela comes from, and also a wild west feel to it in some scenes. Overall, a good film.

philpw99 After reading residentgrigo's review, I felt an obligation to express my view of the movie. So for the first time in a long time I write a review in IMDb, because I really like the movie. It might contain some spoilers.First, it is built on a very possible scenario: in the future world-wide desertification threaten human's survival. So they built a gigantic space station which contains millions of souls/virtual brains. In the meantime some real human, in much less quantity, still live in the ruins of the previous civilization. A mysterious hacker from Earth invaded the space station and broadcast some strange messages. Thus the "Gods" in space send out "Angels" to earth to find the hacker and stop him...I won't go too deep into the plot. What I want to say is this movie has impressive details: the virtual fantasy world in space is vastly different than the after apocalypse world on Earth. Everything from above is shiny and super-advanced while everything down there is dirty, rusty and hand-made. How they dress and trade things, how they think about happiness are quite different based on their situation. In short, everything is carefully thought of, except one giant hole as other reviewer mentioned: she should have changed her clothes while walked in the town.The cities of ruins look authentic. One of them is clearly Manhattan. I can even see the "34th Street Penn Station" words on the subway entrance. Other cities all have kind of America-after-collapse feeling. I wish I knew which one they were based on. Nonetheless you can feel like each rusty pole, each broken window, each damaged building is telling you a tiny story. Details, people. The desert scene and night view are also very well drawn.The action scene is good and decent. A little too fast but that's Japan anime for you. Watching it frame by frame will give you unexpected surprised. Try it if you watch it a second time. The fighting is 80% brain and 20% brawl, unlike most of other animes. Weapon system is mostly old school. (An advanced weapon was used in the beginning but somehow not used in the later fights. Another small plot hole.) So in all I'd say this is a decent Japanese Sci-Fi animation. Fans of Gundam and Ghost in the shell will love it.Lastly, when watching this movie, pause at Earth scenes and think about it: will my grand children live in a world like this? According to most scientists, they will.

residentgrigo I wrote this as a slight counterpoint to ANN's glowing review: The movie is now rated with a "good" and my big problem is how scenario crazy it is. There is way to much world building and explanations for a film of 100 min. runtime. It felt more like a extended pilot or something. I like the characters(well all 3 of them) and it didn't have the expected 3rd act trouble as i feared. The music/Va's were further good and the Cg is a B- for me. It looked nice when a lot happened but the calmer are looked off. That said it is a bad idea in general to try and make low budgeted(or otherwise)CG characters look sexually appealing as it will backfire as seen here. I also wonder where the 16 year old body came from but let's just assume that it is a clever compromise to look appealing to a wider crowd who would be frightened if their leading lady was an obachan in her 20s. And now in ANN magic points. Overall(sub):B- / Story:B- / Animation:B- / Art:B / Music:B+. A good one time popcorn flick and that is all. Giovanni's Island is 2014's best anime film, the Lego Movie the best overall but this is also twice the movie the similar 009 Re:Cyborg tried to be.
