A few people claim that the movie was disappointing to them. The plot is often confusing even to direct fans of the series. Many of the reviews on My Anime List and other such sites, claim the same things. Maybe 009 Re: Cyborg just wasn’t for a person coming in for a cold watch of the movie… then again I doubt I’m being too harsh. and yes there is somehow a wider series in this mess… this movie is an outlier even among factions of its fan base. This is the point where I need to be completely and totally fair to the wider series…. What results is a narrative that feels poorly timed and blotchy on principle.

You can tell the team tried to put their effort into fleshing out those moments, it just fell flat… or rather, it was rushed.Īt the same time these quiet moments happen, the calls to action that drive the narrative forward often directly interrupt those thoughtful little sections.

Hey, I’ll be honest, the movie attempts to have the mental fortitude required to take its deeper themes to the next level. The movie itself feels torn between the two extremes. Moments of quiet contemplation mixes into the bombastic battle scenes, but neither of them act to uplift the other. That is my largest gripe with this movie, and my deepest annoyance over all. For the era, we have come to expect that from anything involving CGI.Ī very long story short 009 Re: Cyborg doesn’t quite know what it wants to be. There is some very questionable CGI in this story to be sure… but then again, there are moments when the animation isn’t entirely awful… you’ll get a mixed bag when it comes to visuals. Honestly, I have to wonder what Production I.G and Sanzigen could have been thinking. There are moments where the animation dips fairly low. That said, I don’t personally like this movie. If you do that, you probably won’t hate it as much as I do. My best advice is set your expectations low going into it. Given just who was involved with this movie (this has to do with the Ghost in the shell rant), I expected more than what I got. I wasn’t able to do that because I went into the movie entirely blind, and to me it was a waste of my time. You just have to understand what you’re getting into. That said the movie is entertaining to a point. As far as clean narratives are concerned, that’s a problem.

There’s no subtlety here, it’s all much too overbearing.
