I just don't see how they can do it any justice. Then when I heard the casting choices I was just dumbfounded. I hope they never make Akira into a live action film. <br /><br />I loved how Trank got creative with the found footage theme and used Andrew's telekinetic abilities to hover the camera in the air, which kept it steady and didn't rely on the shaky-cam crap. Very inventive.robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-47808472974032645112012-07-26T10:01:30.299-07:002012-07-26T10:01:30.299-07:00Wow!

Most of all because it ended up being way better than I was expecting.robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-39365031519258331742012-07-23T00:53:48.500-07:002012-07-23T00:53:48.500-07:00Caught this at the cinema earlier this year.

Stunning special effects, great script, great acting. Agree with Ingo there was heavy shades of Akira at the end (hopefully this will put the makers of the American remake off doing it themselves).<br /><br />I like that the trailers and previews didn't give you any idea of the ending. Will be watching what Trank and Landis work on next.Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-52358166380193574132012-07-21T14:45:35.214-07:002012-07-21T14:45:35.214-07:00I agree, its a great film that surpassed my expect...I agree, its a great film that surpassed my expectations. I watched it despite the fears I had about it. Glad I took the chance. The end reminded me a bit of AKIRA, the anime. I didnt expect the film to go as far as it dis. Great review...good movie!Ingo-Hellford667 Movie Reviewsnoreply@blogger.com
