The Sky Crawlers (No spoilers given, btw)
So, the CGI in the movie was awesome. It looked so real. But at the same time it drew my attention to the fact that it was CGI, because the rest of the movie aside from the planes/battle sequences were standard anime-style animation. Is that redundant? Whatever. Speaking of battle sequences, they were boring. I've never been more bored by a battle sequence in my life.
The story was decent, though it seemed to drag on forever. I managed to figure out the big plot twist like 5 minutes in which probably added to the slowness. Because I just kept waiting for it to be revealed in the movie.
The characters were so emotionless and drab. Pretty much everyone wore brown except for some high class hookers. They got to wear colors or black. I don't know. I get that their drabness and emotionlessness were the point of what they were, but bleeeeeh. It didn't make for much of an interesting movie.
That being said, it was worth seeing the once, because it made some good points about humanity and life. I just wish it hadn't been so boring as it made those points.
And with that, I go to bed so I can get up and spend time with the BFF in the morning/early afternoon before having to pick up my brother and go babysit for the other BFF so she can go to art class. ♥
