Synopsis

Every five years, an exhilarating race called Redline is held, and the universe's most anticipated competition has only one rule: that there are none. Racers are pushed to their absolute limit—a feeling that daredevil driver JP knows all too well. Having just qualified to participate in Redline, he is eager to battle against the other highly skilled drivers, particularly the beautiful rising star and the only other human that qualified, Sonoshee McLaren.

But this year's Redline may be far more dangerous than usual—it has been announced to take place on the planet Roboworld with its trigger-happy military and criminals who look to turn the race to their own advantage. However, the potential danger doesn't stop the racers; in fact, it only adds to the thrill. Relying solely on his vehicle's speed, JP prepares for the event to come, aiming to take first place in the biggest race of his life.

Background

Redline took a full seven years to create and used more than 100,000 frames in production. When finally complete, it made its debut at the 2009 Locarno International Film Festival, more than a year before it came to Japanese theaters.

I am tweaking so hard that my teeth are itching

The whole movie feels and looks like an acid trip. Redline probably has the best visuals I have seen in any animated movie. It just looks insane from start to finish. That doesn´t only concern how good the car races are but also the crazy designs they came up with for the characters.
The story itself while not the focus also is way better than you normally would expect from a racing story. I personally don´t even enjoy cars. I have never seen a F1 race or have any interest in the Fast and Furious movies, despite ...

Mixed Feelings
SUMMARY:Good visuals, bad plot.
Before anything i need to say that i came with high expectations at the moment of see this movie,and when I saw the first minutes I was amazed, those visuals, the music, those incredible action scenes, everything was great, after that the movie loses a lot ,
a cliche story with things that are there for no apparent reason, at the end it seems that it will be as good as in the beginning, but unfortunately it doesn't, and I really trust you that there are too many things in this movie that happen with no reason, I wish it had only been ...

Redline is a nothing burger. You may as well just watch Nascar, because this movie is empty. It's a race, between what amounts to faceless competitors, because, they have nothing to add to this movie, except being drivers for a race. The movie fails at establishing anything of value for our characters, and their story. The characters are bad, lifeless, and boring. Redline is not an 8.28/10. It is a shallow movie that is animated beautifully, that is it.

Animation 10/10
- Its gorgeous, incredible detail, great character design, and a crisp look.
Sound 10/10
- Great sound design, good ...
