Great graphics!!!
Thought that the graphics were brilliant in this film (from the same makers as Appleseed). Great imagination too, look out for the snakes of debris in the desert which seem to have a mind of their own!!
Bit of a dark and distrurbing film about life in the future in Japan after it cuts itself off from the world. It's only towards the end that you realise just how bad things have become for the natives there. Good plot too. -

One brilliant scene, shame about the rest.
Vexille is far from the best anime movie you will see. The CGI is good but not quite Pixar standard, the premise intriguing but poorly executed and the characters are unengaging.
However I would still recommend renting it for one sequence. The metallic sandworm chase is fast, thrilling, brilliantly animated, and far outshines the rest of the film. Yes, it's clearly lifted from Dune (and Tremors to a certain extent) but executed so well it lingers in the memory long after you've forgotten the rest of the film. One can only hope the Sandworms get their own spin-off movie! -
