Recently release, Appleseed Ex Machina is a followup to the excellent CG/Anime fusion Appleseed release of 2005. Featuring a credit list that boggles the mind, including some “costumes” designed by Prada and produced by John Woo.
This release is completely independent of the 2005 release, backstory, etc, is all there and only the most subtle of reference between the two exists. The underlying story isn’t a terribly unique one, but as any fan of John Woo will attest, he has a unique ability to take something old and make it very new (example: Mission Impossible 2 was in fact a retelling of Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious, with repeatedly striking similarity). There is even more “HOLY CRAP! YESSSSSSSSS!!” style action than the first, what it lacks in plot it makes up for in raw ass kicking power.
I should also point to the soundtrack. The music and sound effects were absolutely beautiful.
Visually the film is stunning. When I reviewed Appleseed some time back I noted that there were a handful of places where the CG/Anime just didn’t fuse entirely.. in this release no such mistakes were present and CG definitely was more prevalent, in many cases it was hard to tell what was drawn and what was CG, so the proper parity has clearly been found, something I wish they had found in Macross Zero where they opted more so the other way. If you have HD-DVD or BluRay you’ll definitely want the HD version.
That said… LONG LIVE MACROSS!!
“…in many cases it was hard to tell what was drawn and what was CG…”
The was nothing drawn in neither of the new Appleseed movies, both are fully 3D rendered movies with motion captured acting. Well, there might be some very minor stuff, like some particle effects, etc. that were drawn on top of the 3D, but characters and evironment are all rendered. I must say that they had found much stronger presentation in the Ex Machina. In previous they used very flat shading for characters to mimic drawn look, it wasn’t bad, but the new shading integrates better with environment and gives the movie bit more personality. And most of all, it’s plain gorgeous.
