Clueless Akira lovers

Rating: 1/10 (12 September 2007)

A timeless mess that anyone even slightly interested in science fiction or animation should watch before they die. Those who readers who have already passed on to the great-Akira-in-the-sky, oh well, you snooze, you lose. Akira is a highly flatulent piece of Japanese animation, with more than just a little putrification. I won't explain any part of the story, as that information can easily be found elsewhere. I will simply try to explain how I feel about this movie, and why. After watching this movie for the first time in years, I felt like my mind had been blown - which is the second best body part to get blown. I couldn't stop thinking about obnoxious characters. THose who voted for Saw 3 for Bast Picture Oscar will find a certain charm in it's brutality and story about friendship and rivalry between two young biker gang punks killing about 729 people and then trying to kill each other. On top of that, it's also got great action scenes, (hey, how else do you kill off about 729 people, in fact, about 95% of the homo sapiens shown in the film die before the end of the film).
