Rotten Tomatoes Average Tomatometer: 90%
A benchmark of Japanese animation and widely regarded as one of the greatest animated and science fiction films ever made, Akira was released back in 1988, and for its time, was one of the most expensive animated movies to make. With such a respected movie, it only makes sense that every intricate detail is reviewed with the utmost scrutiny, which Steve Reviews does a good job of. From its score, to its themes, and right down to the still background, Steve Reviews delivers an objective look to one of the most influential films ever to grace the cinema.
As this movie was released more than 30 years ago, most of us have already seen Akira. If you appreciate a review from eyes fresh from viewing this masterpiece of animation, then this is the video to watch!
This played on toonami when i was in middle school and i was so drawn into the entire movie, waiting to see what happened next and loving how smooth the flow was. This movie was one of the key inspirations that lead to me creating my own characters and plots. It opened my mind, showing that not all characters are bad just because. It is a great movie, and i'm glad you reviewed it. I see what you mean about the second act though. I showed this movie to my boyfriend and uh...he fell asleep through the middle. I had to wake him up so he could see the ending.😂
