Kyle’s Thoughts:

I liked this movie. I am just not sure how much. It had a gripping story, but something about the animation style (Anime) just kept disconnecting me from being fully engrossed. The story follows two orphans in their journey to find the myth cloud city of Laputa. They have a wild adventure which culminates in epic battle and plenty of twists, turns and surprises. Without spoiling, I wish I would have liked this more, but I just didn’t. This isn’t the only Anime on list, maybe they will grow on me, but this one is the unlucky number one.

Kyle’s Rating: 6/10

Honeywell’s Thoughts:

Well for someone who is not into anime I thought the film was okay. I really hate to use the word okay but that’s what describes it best for me. There is quite a bit of action in it, as two orphans journey to find the cloud city of Laputa. The cast for the move was surprisingly good for an anime movie it includes, Anna Paquin, James Van Der Beek, Cloris Leachman, and for you Star Wars lovers, Mark Hamill. The film does have a lot to offer, there are flying machines, robots, crooked army officials, and even pirates that keep you entertained throughout the movie. The story itself is one that many people should take notice of how important love and caring is. If you are not into anime I am not sure how interested you would be in this movie especially since it has a run time of over 2 hours. As Kyle mentioned, this is not the only Anime on the list so hopefully it will grow on me as well!

Honeywell’s Rating: 6/10

As you can see, our scores were lower than the IMDB rating. This is bound to happen over the course of the next 249 movies, sometimes! Until next time, Keep Enjoying the Movies!
