Review of Steamboy (2004) by Zachary R — 21 Sep 2012
This is a good movie of another legendary director Katsuhiro Otomo. In this anime film we have an alleged family called the Steams, who are inventors of the steam engine and want to help the world in the industrial age.
When something goes wrong with an expierment that Lloyd Steam and Eddie Steam work on it causes a death in the family by killing Eddie Steam. Come several years later, the son of Eddie Steam, Ray Steam is a young inventor himself and is trying to do well, like his father.
When Ray gets a warning from his Grandfather Lloyd, he wants him to take this steam orb of immense power that this one group wants. Ray tries to get away from the group, but gets captured in the process, what happens next is that the group wants Ray to help them develop a world built on steam.
The only thing is this world may be used much more than helping mankind, but going to war with it. What side will Ray Steam choose and can he stop this power hungry group before it is too late. Good story, great voice actors, lovely animation of Katsuhiro Otomo, and a vivid modern Sci-Fi story set in the industrial age of London.
Worth seeing if you are an Otomo fan or of these types of stories in general. 9 out of 10.
