Kenji Kamiyama is a brilliant artist who made, among other classics, Ghost in the Shell, and this 3D CGI animation looks beautiful too. But its almost incomprehensible storyline and largely cardboard characters are a huge disappointment. Nine humans from different parts of the world have been transformed into cyborgs by a huge corporation bent on ruling the world. Rebelling against their tormentors, they restore world peace but disappear totally from the people’s memory. We are treated to superb city landscapes but so much minor detail that you never know who is doing what to whom, or even why.
