This movie is and will always be a true masterpiece.
Story: 10
The story was great. The beginning really sucks you right in with it's very dramatic destroying of the earth. The main character Agito, gets cool powers and saves everybody, been done right? Well this movie did it in a way I wasn't expecting. How many other movies have sent their character to the forest of all places to give him his powers? The ending of the movie leaves you with that epic feel.
Art: 10
The art was truly outstanding. Everything was full of life and the military weapons had extreme detail and looked almost CG.
...
Every nature scene or even running through some place always had it's own beauty.
Sound: 10
The music was absolutely stunning. Of course I'm mainly talking about the ones by Kokia but even the orchestra pieces fit in very well with the scenes they were in. Now back to Kokia; her two songs always left me with that tingling down my back. What her voice added to the movie made it more epic than anything.
Character: 10
Agito and Toola. They go through some serious character development. We first find Toola in a freezing tube. Once she's out, there are a couple scenes explaining where she came from in more detail. At the end it's still giving details about her past. Agito goes through the most development I think though. We already know where he came from so it's not a big deal that they left out his past a bit. Even so, he gets powers from a forest, grows up a bit, and does some other awesome stuff like running down a freakin' volcano. Yeah.
As for the rest of the cast, they all held equally important roles. Like the other "enhanced", supporting Agito throughout the movie.
Enjoyment: 10
There wasn't a moment during this movie where I didn't fully enjoy it. Every scene had something to look at no matter if it was the characters or some small detail in the corner.
Overall: 10
Overall I'd have to say that this has been one of the BEST movies I've EVER watched in my entire life. It can only be described as epic. The music is insanely good. It just proves that Japan has better singers than the rest of the world. I recommend Origin - Spirits of the Past to everyone even if you don't like anime.
