You can dump on shows like Mars of Destruction all you want but the very least I had fun making fun of it. There's bad, there's boring, there's atrocious, and there's Angel Egg. Yoshitaka Amano is a great artist given how I love the old school Final Fantasy artworks and seeing him work on this horrid mullet of a turd was painful. Apparently, the guy who made Ghost in the Shell movie worked on this as well. But why would they concoct something like this?
The show was a whole lot of nothing, vapid, empty, with industrial sounds and ambiance as the only thing that accompanies you in this feature-length yawnfest. All atmosphere and nothing to get a hold of. There was nothing to say. It's all 'artsy' and none of the frills that makes a movie or an anime for that matter, engaging. We follow along a duo that are as entertaining as peeing with UTI. I was never a lover of art cinema and probably this is not for me. I could swear it made me feel narcoleptic with how many times I fell asleep throughout its runtime. This is the anti-thesis of excitement. Everything is symbolic and I could not give a single damn thing about whatever message it tries to say because it feels like noise the whole movie. Story? It was there probably, buried in layers upon layers of silence, nothingness, and meager animated sceneries. This is a movie made for the intelligent fellows I suppose and while I agree on never getting the point of it all, I will stand by the fact that this movie failed as an entertainment. I simply had no enjoyment whatsoever and there's no force on earth that could make me gaze on it ever again. Finishing it not only came out as a chore but I was physically ill, not because I was affected by the movie but how sorry I am for wasting a portion of my life watching this abominable piece of arthouse pretentiousness.
For whatever reason, people like this and hats off to you mates. For everyone else, I do not wish for you to suffer the same pain I had feasting my eyes on this abomination.
Do not watch it unless you need to cure your insomnia. Bring your friends for slumber party.
I respect the artists that made the movie. I just hate this damn movie specifically.
