Synopsis

Ever since the death of his grandfather, Yasuji, Kousuke Kumagaya has grown distant from his close friend, Natsume Tonai. Having grown up together like siblings in the same apartment building, the two now find themselves at odds with one another due to Natsume's inability to let go of the past. This rift is further exacerbated by the news that their former complex will soon be demolished.

Hearing about a ghost that is supposedly haunting the old complex, Kousuke's friends drag him into the demolition site to look around. When Kousuke finds that Natsume is also there, they get into an argument over an old camera that once belonged to Yasuji. This results in Natsume running off with it, but just as she is about to fall off the rooftop, a torrential downpour envelops the entire building, flooding the ground around it.

The young children now find themselves drifting at sea with the apartment building acting as their ship. Unable to communicate with the rest of the world, Natsume and Kousuke must reconcile their differences if they want to stand a chance at finding their way home.

Background

Not a super long review and I don’t typically even do reviews, but since this literally released a couple of hours ago and I have Covid and couldn’t sleep, I gave it a watch.

Visually, this movie is fantastic and really excels at conveying it’s story and emotions through the setting it creates and I honestly enjoyed everything about the animation and art featured throughout. What I liked most regarding the visuals, is that it never felt “boring” to see the same scenery, even though the characters are in the same place for a long period of time.

When it comes to the music, I loved it. ...

The trailer I saw months ago really had me interested because it just seemed like it could be good. Visually it was absolutely stunning, the animation was beautiful from start to finish. The music captured me and did not let go until the movie ended. However, as far as story and characters go. The entire time it just felt like something was missing. It was a fine movie, don't get me wrong. But, I just felt like it could use something else, I can't say I am smart enough to know what that something is, nevertheless it is how I felt more or less ...

Never have I been more intrigued by a story's premise, only to be let down harder than Rick Astley. What initially had the potential to be a great piece of entertainment ultimately flopped under its own weight, which came at the cost of my time and attention.
This movie runs for 120 minutes including credits. This movie did not feel like 120 minutes, rather it felt like binging through a weak 12-episode slice of life. It consistently had downtime in which I felt that the plot was moving fucking nowhere, which is pretty ironic considering how the whole movie is about kids trying to find their ...
