The main reason why I wanted to watch it was because of the concept. The idea of a city growing infinitely and the characters having to stop its growth was something I had never seen tried in anything and I'm always a fan of giving a crazy idea a chance. I had also heard that the Blame! manga was one of the best, if the best manga ever made, so I really watched this movie expecting something memorable.
Then I watched and my immediate issue was the 3D animation. I know some people actually like the 3D animation in this movies, but it really didn't work for me, sorry.
Another issue is that the story is mainly an action sci-fi survival adventure. I was expecting something more ambitious than that, especially considering that, according to manga readers, the manga focuses a lot on megalophobia inducing imagery, making the main characters look extremely small and making it seem like the characters are in an endless labyrinth.
But despite all its issues, I'm not saying this movie is bad. It's good, I enjoyed it, I was just pretty underwhelmed.
