Awesome movie. I enjoyed the way the movie was shot, the cg, the story, everything. In my opinion, without the drama, this movie would just be your standard popcorn superhero flick. Thank God it wasn't.
The movie starts with Dr. Azuma presenting his theory on his "Neo-Cell" project. The military is interested in his idea that they intend to fund him. Dr. Azuma's son, Tetsuya, is going to war to spite him. A year passes and Tetsuya dies in the war. His body is sent back to be buried, but at the same time, a bolt of lightning strikes Dr. Azuma's lab. This catalyst brings the spare parts together to form the Neo-Sapiens. The Neo-Sapiens declare war against the humans, so that in the end, they will create a new world without violence. This pretty much sums up the plot of movie. There is an anti-war message going on in the movie which I am in favor of.
The action sequences are elaborately done. I've read an early review stating that the sword fight was poorly done. It wasn't. It was better than I expected. The soundtrack to this movie is awesome. I wish I could listen to the score to this movie.
