Steamboy
06.02.2006


Katsuhiro Otomo is back! After great productions like the super famous Akira, Roujin Z and Memories... produced 2 years ago a new one: Steamboy, which I wasn't able to see until this weekend :/

As usual, does have a great level in the animation, great architecture (katsuhiro is in fact an architect), great vehicles, scenes, and well, feeling! It really leaves you a nice feeling.

This time the movie is based in Manchester/London, which is very well reproduced. It's maybe a mix between the world of Future Boy Conan series, Roujin Z and Akira..

I probably won't need to say that is totally recomended ;)

I must agree on this one!! As i said you, Manchester is very well reproduced, it really gives you the feeling that you are on Manchester. London, well, you have seen that it is quite accurate as well.
And here is a link to the Great Exhibition which is the background scene for the movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/w iki/Great_Exhibition

Erl... I have to disagree with you two. I watched Steamboy some time ago and didn't like it. The plot is quite dumb, the characters/animation didn't surprise me and the overall feeling was only an OK.
So, I didn't get something or it's an okish film? Perhaps I need to live in UK to understand everything? X)

I totally agree with sml here... in fact I fell asleep before it ended... I'll stick to Akira and keep on praising Studio Ghibli ;)

Well, In that case, yes, maybe you need to live in London / love London and his history then ;)

Steamboy es una peli distribuida por Sony Pictures aquí en España, así que la ví hace ya unos meses, antes de salir a la venta.

No se si estará bien recreado Manchester o no, pero se que a mucha gente no le ha gustado demasiado.

Yo puedo decir que a mi, si me resultó agradable de ver y la prefiero bastante más a Akira, aunque alguno me queme en la hoguera por haber dicho esto.

Es que Akira vale mucho más si te has leido antes los comics. Sino se puede pasar de abstracta y te pasa lo contrario que Steamboy, que no te enteras de nada.

SORRY!
Is not that I don't care about what you have to say, of course I do, but they are speaking louder and I lost my patience :(
