I watched this recently, at imax and I was dumbstruck.
After years of hearing how "Akira, was so influential to my work" I didn't want to watch it.
There's no way it could live up to the hype.
But it does, my god does it ever
It's 2020+, the movie came out over three decades ago, and as a modern man I was still shocked at how fresh the ideas were.
Honestly, it's rough around the edges. The animation and audio are definitely old, and the story is so relentless it verges on overwhelming..
But I'll never forget how I felt watching Akira.
And you likely won't either.
