Review of Akira (1988) by Keenan S — 17 Aug 2011
Before this film, anime films weren't nearly as popular as they are now. When Akira was released, it blew minds with its stunning animation, brilliant storytelling, and intense action scenes that have been ripped off countless times by other anime films.
There is not a single thing wrong with Akira, and I was blown away by its sheer scope and ambition. There was never a boring moment during the entire two hours and I recommend to any fan of sci-fi films because it's not something to be missed.
I really hope Hollywood doesn't fuck it up with the upcoming live-action remake (You better not, or there will be hell to pay!).
