...realizing it was from an anime film.

I can't think of anyone who could have played the part of Major any better than Scarlett - throughout a lot of the film there are close-ups of her face lacking emotion but you can't take your eyes off her.

The one thing the critics have panned it for was a lack of soul - it's hard to get really excited about a film where you don't emotionally connect with any of the characters, because the main character is a robot.

But with its technicolor vision of the future and action, I would recommend it.

I'd give it a B-.

Very good - but you only gave it a B-? I thought we were living in the age of grade inflation! [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 01:03:33 04/05/17 (2)

  ...Scarlett's performance was excellent - think about how hard it would be during the entire film just to show your emotion through your eyes without moving your face.
  
  And the vision of the future was pretty incredible.
  
  But it didn't make me cry.
