Amazing visuals, interesting and intricate character design. The fight scene choreography is probably the best part other than a world with such beautiful art work, you'll wish you could visit Definitely worth a watch if you're into the cyberpunk genre. The story left a bit to be desired but it, short (1hr 15min) length means it doesn't over stay its welcome.
A very intriguing concept for a film, with some very good character designs and a creative art style + a promise worth getting involved with Altered Carbon: Resleeved must be a hit right? Well, both yes and no.
In a cyberpunk city, people who die can get a second chance, everyone has a chip inside of them holding their life if someone dies their chip can be used in a dead body for that person to come back, a great concept right? Yes but honestly it wasn't focused on enough, instead the film focused on a secret plot within the Yakuza. The main theme about the Yakuza didn't interest me that much and the members were all so so. It's the bond between the three main characters that I loved. Takeshi were my least favourite, a stubborn and a bit uninteresting man with a low tone which is not an unusual thing, heck I'm like that at many times but still there wasn't that much to root for in him however it's the two female's who impressed me. Holly is badass, cute/pretty and has a more mature/experienced personality but don't forget that she's still a young girl and has past trauma and then there's Gena with her amazing hair and strict and badass style but like everyone else, she has her soft side and a past memory that can trigger her to snap out of her hard shell. It's kinda sad how she never connected to her past memory... One of the most notable aspects of the movie is the use of MUCH brutal violence, yes it's too much at times but I was genuinely impressed. There's the violence I don't like but there's violence such as this movie where it fits and is used in a matter of understatement and I thought it was hella cool. Some of the most awesome bloody violence in animation(of what I've seen). The story, however, falls pretty short and ultimately elevates to the state of ridiculousness and feels like too much. I really like this world and the potential of it however just like the first Purge it wasn't used very good and could have been used so much better. Conclusion: A very cool looking film with beautiful and eye-catching surroundings, a loveable bond between the main characters with 2 of them being standouts in my film mind, great and badass action the movie could have been great if the story wasn't so mediocre... Why Netflix? Why did yall waste the massive potential you had with this?
Considering the project from which this little film is part of, it can't help but feeling unnecessary. Basically what would be considered as a lost episode.
I was also not a fan of the animation style. If you're watching the show or if you have seen it already you might be interested, but it's also skippable.
