Awesome Movies
May. 21st, 2005 02:28 pmAiy, I think I'll probably be the last person I know (who is interested in it at all) to see Star Wars: Episode III. But, oh well. I hope to get to see it some time next week. In the meantime, I'll try not to drive Sage crazy with my Star Wars fixation.
And, at least last night I got to see two other awesome movies courtesy of Seeker, who brought them over.
First, Appleseed. Awesome movie. The computer animation was incredible... and I say that even though I'm not generally a fan of the look of computer animation used in animated movies (ie: where it's intended to look animated rather than the computer effects that live action films use). But, the cel-shaded characters helped... and looked quite nice most of the time. And, the storyline sucked me right in, so it was far from another "cool action/nice effects, don't study the plotline too closely" movie.
And, then the Naruto movie. I like the Naruto series, but wasn't sure what to think of the movie premise given most of the other movies I've seen based on anime series were kinda hit or miss. I was pleasantly surprised. The story was good - not blow you away good, but good. Easily, "I would enjoy seeing it again," good. And, after many episodes (except the most recent) featuring other characters in the series, it was nice that the movie truly was Naruto's movie... Well, nice for me as he's my favorite character in the series ;) So, yay!
