_J_'s Journal: TIFF07.06 - Vexille

Vexille

One word review: cool.

Sori the director drops this little CGI gem into our laps. Rocking soundtrack combined with crisp computer animation and (what I believe to be) motion-capture human figures give this movie a more realistic feel.

It is 2077 and Japan has walled itself off from the rest of the world. As it turns out bad things are happening and the Americans have to pull a Matthew Perry (the 19th century US naval officer, not the actor from friends).

I liked this movie. I enjoyed it and if you enjoy anime like Ghost in the Machine you will probably like this. This movie didn't devolve into some hour long climax fest like some Japanese movies I've seen.

Overall rating 7/10.
