One could argue that the end is really the beginning of the story, [spoiler] which is left to the watcher to wonder [/spoiler] so I understand why some people will dislike it, all in all I liked the atmosphere, style and soundtrack, but the movie does kinda end up feeling like it was more of a presentation of the world and building of it on the midst of the hero's journey of Vesper. It was slow but I really enjoyed and the curiosity about the society in this reality really kept me interested. I don't have hopes but I'd love to see it being explored in a tv show format, perhaps, picking up where the movie left. And no doubt that if you are a Nausicaä fan like myself you'll at least enjoy the aesthetic inspiration of this world.

One-dimensional characters and a predictable story carefully wrapped in some amazing world-building and surprisingly good visual effects. Despite the overall drag of the plot, there's still something quite alluring about the atmosphere presented.

interesting story. too slow for my liking though

This can be summarized in 3 simple words WTF! I promise you, you will not understand anything from start to finish

I liked the mood given by the CGI but you can easily guess the story. It is clear what is coming at every scene. Nothing so excited or interested. If you are not bored enough, after a few minutes you will say: [spoiler] bad guy and the good guy lying on the bed will die somehow, so called guest is a jug, humanity will be saved by our main character. [/spoiler] Anything else would be a twist but sadly no surprises. 5.5/10
