Good animation and a beautiful soundtrack ruined by nonsensical ramblings on the nature of God and religion, which I'm not quite sure the scriptwriter knew anything about.

The animation is good for CG animation. It's Production I.G., after all. Faces were a bit wonky at times, especially Francoise's, but nothing really all that bad.

The music is fantastic, and by far the best part of the movie. It was done by Kenji Kawai, who is well known for his work on Ghost in the Shell and Fate/Stay Night, so the high quality comes at no surprise. On the flip side, the voice work was fine. Nothing really stuck out to me, though.

The worst part of this whole movie were the characters and story. The story was utterly bizarre. I think it was supposed to be some kind of commentary on religion, but at best it comes across as pretentious garbage written by an edgy teenager, and as borderline offensive at worst. Ultimately, all of it seems entirely irrelevant to a story about cyborg spy-heroes. Characters are almost entirely non-existent. They merely exist to spout more nonsense and make the plot progress. Cardboard boxes have vastly more personality than these pieces of garbage.

Don't bother watching this movie and just look the soundtrack up on Youtube or something instead. That's a significantly better use of your time, trust me.
