Interstella is not your average anime movie. The main reason for this, its really a long music video with a storyline.

Thats not to say the storyline is bad, or it lacks developed characters, it actually has them. Maybe not the greatest story ever told, and without dialog its hard to have the characters develop too much, the the movie manages.

In fact, I believe that if this wasn't a music video it could have been much better. Much of what the characters were thinking and feeling could be assumed by the situation and music, but the characters did seem one dimensional because of this. The actual plot line seemed to have some interesting background, but this background never gets fleshed out, and it could have been with the vocalization of some thoughts.

Being a music video, there needs to be some music, and it really is quite a good soundtrack if you like Daft Punk, I had only heard a few of there more popular songs before this movie, but I enjoyed it fairly well. There were a few spots in the movie I felt that the music and the animation weren't really matched to each other very well, but those moments were few and far between so I'll let them slide.

Overall, I'd say this is a great movie if you want to combine a love for music and anime together, and probably a must watch for any anime loving Daft Punk fan. However for the rest of us, there are probably better movies to consume your time.
