Re: I'd highly recommend it...

The comparison between the two is interesting. The original certainly develops the characters more thouroughly and deals more directly with the theme of the ill effects of weapons of mass destruction in an amazingly relevant in a way.It was also a more sombre and meloncholy film and I like it for that. OTOH the American version does a nice job of taking the narative out of it's original linear form. I liked that. It was a little bit more dramaticwhen the story was told out of time. I have to tip my hat to the folks who did the original American version for doing a nice job of integrating a great deal of new footage. In some ways the editing on the American version is a little bit tighter than the Japanese version and there are fewer obvious technical glitches in the American version. I also think one has to give the American producers credit for using very little dubbing. It is really amazing how little actual dubbing there is.
