6 | Good attempt despite unsatisfactory ending

This non-Japanese cartoon film actually deserves some credit for its catchy theme and fast-paced execution. The characters have diverse personalities and a hint of a tendency to be rebellious in the train of thought without the usual clichéd stereotypes. Overall well made, but not saved from heavy flaws in the lack of intimacy between some key characters (they did show some intimacy but it felt like a flash video clip). Some scenes were also jumpy I felt may disrupt the flow of the plot, especially given the sci-fi nature of its theme that can appear complicated to some of the audience members. The biggest flaw in my opinion is the unsatisfactory ending, which felt too rushed and not doing enough to justify the whole 1.5 hours of the movie.
