[IMDB link] This is (apparently) the 2nd Appleseed anime movie, except that IMDB shows 2 previous ones: 1988, 2004. So I’m a bit confused about that. We watched this in 720p with Jon, Kevin, & Mark, and the cgi-based animation was quite good. The faces almost had a rotoscoped look, like A Scanner Darkly. The fact that I was not familiar with the previous movie (which Kevin was nice enough to loan us) did not seem to hurt the viewing experience, as this was an eye candy movie. Jon B joked about only reading every other subtitle, though I certainly would not have been able to follow the plot without knowing what people were saying. Cyborg and cybernetic terrorism come into play, and there are definitely interesting moments, plot-wise. This was not superb by any means, but I enjoyed it.
