Summary: |
The story unfolds in another 'possible' modern age. The main characters are youngsters called "Kildren", who are destined to live eternally in their adolescence. The Kildren are conscious that every day could be the last, because they fight a "war as entertainment" organized and operated by adults. But as they embrace the reality they are faced with, they live their day-to-day lives to the full. |

I don't know if its safe to call this one a war movie, it has all the elements, but to be honest the "War" as it were.... well its a bad excuse for one.... if possible even worse than "My Big Scary Voice in the sky is different than YOUR Big Scary Voice in the Sky, so DIE DIE DIE".... frankly I didn't think that possible.
As stated before the story is a bit dark, normally that's not so much of a problem, but the world is so crapsack that I took a few points off. It is however not a "action movie" so if your watching it for the express purpose of nonstop nailbiting action.... look somewhere else, this is a thinking movie at its heart.
Dialog is average in this one, not a lot is said, often times this is because not a lot is needed TOO be said, sometimes Excess Dialog just gets in the way.
Art wise its a decent bit of animation, the aerial battles especially are gorgeous and probably the saving point of the film.
I suppose though that this is one of those movies that only needs to be watched once, thought about, and moved on.... is it a way of killing a few hours, possibly, but only if you like your anime to make you think. It could of course always done this better, but then that is often the case
