I didn't find the character Tomoe very appealing at first, but after watching it again, I found him to be the only redeeming factor that makes the movie at least worth watching.
The story is confusing, not really because the events are hard to understand. If you piece the story together in chronological order, it's a rather simply story. However, the themes are all over the place. That's what makes the story so confusing.
I understand the movie tries to explore many philosophical subjects but honestly, none of them comes together in the end. It's not just a matter of leaving a question mark. I feel like the plot simply recycles a lot of well-known truths and throws them at the audience without drawing any line to make them connect. In the end, we are overwhelmed, and that's the only reason the movie receives high ratings.
However, Tomoe for me brought back some meaning into the movie. That's the only reason I'm giving this a decent score. He's the only character with any development. He went from escaping reality to accepting it and fighting for it. That's a big jump, especially considering the reality turns more unfavorable on him as the plot progresses. However, his character rebelled against itself and in the end found a satisfactory truth he can fight for.
Overall, if you are going for a movie with a lot of actions, this isn't one. But if you want to be simply overwhelmed, this is one.
