Review of Akira (1988) by Michael L — 02 Jul 2016
I watched this because I heard it was a classic, but afterwards I have no idea how it got that title. So much is unexplained: Why are there grey midget psychic people? Why does that red motorcycle only have like two minutes of screen time? Why is every.
single. character such a piece of shit? Seriously there's not a single damn character I could root for. EVERYBODY is a bad guy. And the way the conflict is resolved is some microchip turns into a god and vaporizes a crazy guy and then just disappears, and then the credits roll? This movie sucks.
Would not recommend.
