 "It's OK"This movie reminds me of Akira, though it's really that good. It is a film worth the money but Akira And Ghost in the shell are still THE GREATEST MANGA EVER MADE "Nice addition to a fan's collection"This is a fun, but not lighthearted movie about a civil war on a "certain planet." Nice plot for sci-fi fans, and some great "motorcycle" racing scenes.  "The Best of the Best!"This is my pick for ultimate favorite anime ever created. The first time I saw it I was blown away! It's SOOOOO awesome that Sci-Fi shows it every so often. Everyone needs to definite check this out. Trust me! You WON'T be disappointed.  "Quite OK"I really liked the movie. It tells how people other than soldiers live through a war like that. What was really bad in it were those scenes were live action footage was put in the background. I found that unacceptable in this genre. Otherwise it was fine. "A MAGNIFICENT FILM"This movie was pretty spectacular.From the one-wheeled motorcycle races to the huge aircraft carrier-like airplanes to the look of the semi-modern but still futuristic city that the battle started in, there is deffinately something here for everyone.Plus the great story of a CIVIL war rather than the usual played out drama about a war with aliens really gave this film a good plot.And the characters are all very diverse and quite interesting.The only thing that,in my opinion,keeps this film from earning a pefect 5 stars,was the date in which it took place (somewhere around 2090,give or take a few years).Although we may establish some outposts on other planets by then,I seriously doubt that we will be able to change the atmosphere and temperature of venus enough to make it suitable for humans in just 100 years,or that there inhabitants will become so diverse and numerous that they will have wars with each other. But please,DO NOT take that to mean that the whole film is bad or anything like that.In my opinion, it is one of the greatest animated films,and indeed one of the greatest sci-fi films,of all time.This movie may not be perfect,but if you ever liked any sci-fi or action movie in your life,then you won't regret buying a copy of venus wars. |
