Appleseed Alpha

It's breddy gud /10


Story is kinda cliché, but hey... If it's not broken don't fix it.

Art is really the strong point. The CG is amazing and everything looks great.

Sound is also great, adds a lot to the experience.

Characters are pretty good, if a little cliché, I don't have any experience with the rest of Appleseed so I won't complain much.
...
Overall, I like it, looks great, feels great.

Yeah, it's breddy gud.

Appleseed Alpha is a action, explosions, gunshots adrenaline movie, if you want action with a easy to understand soft story you will like this movie, and sometimes is good to watch something were you don't have to think so much.

Story- 7/10

The plot of this movie is nothing to think about. You have seen it in one form or another a million times before, often better executed. Would've done nicely for a game though. It's the classic bad guy wants to destroy or govern the world so good guys need to stop him.

Art-10/10

i don't like CGI but yes BUT!! this movie was EPIC the artwork was ... so good that i really doubted in the beginning of the movie whether it was animation or live action. The ruins of New York look like a delight to wander around in and to just explore, the characters were so real, if only all CGI could be done like this.

Sound- 7/10

Sound wise i don't find it very fiting or ear anything amazing, it was a techno almost dubstep ost witch in my opinion didn't fit very well with the action but it's just my opinion.

Overall- 8/10
Alpha is a good movies to watch at night or when you don't have that much to do because it's a good watch, I can honestly say i watched this movie for the art, not the story but i did have a very good time watching it so even if it sounds like a boring movie it's not, the enjoyment level is high and i bet you will like it.

Alpha doesn't have anything to do with the original story, and threw out of the window the themes about society, technology, and humankind, from Appleseed. It's basically an action flick.

I do think it has a better dynamic between Deunan and Briareos, but the whole plot and characters are pretty basic - Deuman design got pretty dumb too, using a tactical gear the protects her back and shoulder, but has a huge cleavage just to show boobs. I find this kind of fan service is quite pathetic.

What really impressed me is the CGI, it's quite an eye candy. This movie has fantastic looks and it kinda ... compensates for all the rest.
I'd give it a 7.5, but since I can't, it's an 8.

I'm an adult. I watched the english dub. I have no prior experience with Appleseed-stuff. I do, however, have a positive bias towards the sci-fi, cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic genres in general. I have no strong opinions on CGI. I knew nothing about the film before watching it, but had a vague memory of someone telling me that it looked pretty good. With that in mind, this is my short review:

The aesthetics impressed me. The enviroment, sets, landscapes or whatever you want to call them, are appealing in the post-apocalyptic way.

Quite a few cool action sequences, explosions, gun fights etc. Entertaining and well made!

Characters look cool ... and the dialogue is ok - but don't expect too much when it comes to depth.

I ended up caring little for the story, I was more invested in the cyborgs, the action and the landscape design while watching this.

I'd say: If you like the genre, think this looks somewhat appealing and need some entertainment, chances are you'll think it's ok - kick back and relax with some cyberpunk action. It won't change your life, but you probably won't feel mad you'll never get those 90 mins back either.
