Hi Darragh – sorry I missed you (I was the froppy haired one sitting next to the pretty girl).

There is definitely some borrowing in the movie with a big old Dune reference with the ‘Jags’.

Hey David, think I copped you on the escalator at the end of the movie… thanks for the linkage and the feedback – (”dashing”? pffft!!) – will certainly pass it on to Cinemagic. I enjoyed the animation – thought the SWORD armour, the running and chasing scenes and any “machine” imagery was done amazingly well. People were a bit pants though. Really felt the whole “Tremors” theme coming through at the end though…

She was pretty hardcore, kill ‘em all. But she smoked like a transvestite.

Very irritating. She wasn’t believable as a secret agent, at all. I would have rathered watching Maria for the entire movie. She was bad ass.

I liked the simplicity of the close up shots and the camera/cinematic look the whole movie had.

You’re right about Vexille though. How irritating was that woman?! Best line of the movie goes to Leon though. Delivered at the weirdest possible moment:

“Why didn’t you come to the airport?”

I’d love to hit Donnie Darko tonight too, but I’ll be in Tripod at Gemma Hayes.

I really enjoyed the movie last night. There were some really great science fiction concepts, though I did find the main character Vexille, very annoying (far too emotional for a “security agent”). I thought it was interesting that it’s a Japanese movie, and yet it was about their country’s demise. The animation was fantastic at many points, but was rather lacking during close-up shots. Despite that I did really like it, even the parts that made me laugh (though they probably shouldn’t have).
