Synopsis

Based on Masamune Shirow's acclaimed manga, APPLESEED is a haunting and thrilling vision of an apocalyptic future in which human life is slowly being controlled by a new breed of Biodroids, creatures that are half android, half man. In this future, the remnants of the world's governments create a city named Olympus near the Canary Islands designed to be a utopia. However, this utopia is controlled by the Biodroids, and soon the human population has had enough. Rallying together a band of terrorists, the humans decide that they must destroy Gaia, the computer that runs Olympus, thereby freeing themselves and delivering a fatal blow to the reeling superpowers.

wow (2008-07-08)

ok so then its another vision of post apocalyptic future and now mankind has designed bioroids to help govern themselves into this comes the heroin deunan to try and save the daythe good- the visuals are mind blowing the plot is quite inventive and the mixture of philosophic musings to action thankfully falls more into the action camp the bad - thankfully very little it slows down a little in the middle to crowbar some stuff about mans existence into the characters and as such it loses some momentum but that minor slip aside it flows brilliantly and looks truly stunning

Good animated action flick (2008-01-24)

I haven't seen any of the other versions of Appleseed, so I can't compare this to them. As a result one or two small parts of the film didn't seem to be fully explained.Otherwise I thought it was a good film, there's even a twist. The visuals are good too. Although I'm not sure if this would be suitable for people that don't like computer animated films. Also at ~100min running time you should be able to tell this isn't some half-baked film.I've yet to watch the entire film with Japanese audio and English subs, but from what I saw at the beginning I think the translation is a bit too literal and ended up watching the rest of the film with the dubbed English audio.If you're looking for the limited editon this isn't it, but the box still comes with the 2 discs.

Great but ? (2008-01-23)

Great to see Appleseed remade but if only it had stuck to Masamune Shirows original Manga then it would have been better i feel but not possible to do in one film , still worth getting though for sure .

The quality of the dvd is brilliant... (2007-12-07)

I've just seen this (for second time) on a PC rigged with state of art tech - in other words it can show DVD's at their best. This DVD looked like HD DVD !Graphics and imagination are at maximum. Storyline is usual Japanese, so expect baffling logic and mystifying charm. Great fun.

remake of an older movie (2007-06-26)

this is a remake of the original appleseed and just seem like the original to be a bit weak in the storyline but it does look a lot better than the original
