Please keep in mind its 3AM while Im writing this so please forgive any grammar or spelling errors thanks. Plot: Let me start by talking about the plot which for most people is probably the weakest part of the movie. Redline follows JP a pretty laidback kind of guy who absolutely loves racing. The movie takes place in a world where space travel isnt much of a problem and Redline which is a race is one of the most important events in the entire galaxy. Because of that JP obviously wants to take part in it but unfortunately fails to qualify in Yellowline. Turns out Redline is supposed to take place on a planet called Roboworld which is a heavily militarized planet so a couple of racers drop out of Redline so JP is given the opportunity to take their place. He accepts. Now I dont want to spoil too much so instead Ill talk about why I absolutely love the plot in Redline and why I think its way better than most people make it out to be. 450https://64.media.tumblr.com/e2d972d6fba6fe01ae531348aec951fa/66195bd25d6ec79a62/s500x750/df146081c26e637cd2ed3c2559b9318b86fc8009.gifv The story is divided into 5 parts. 1 being the main race Redline 2 being the love story between JP and Sonoshee the main love interest of the movie 3 being the conflict between the military and the race 4 being Frisbees JPs friend connection to the mafia and finally 5 which isnt that important but worth mentioning the short glimpses we are being shown of whats going on outside of all of this. Like people illegally gambling or betting on who they think is going to win the race and the police interfering flashbacks etc. Eventually all of these individual stories come together in the end resulting in probably the best ending of any movie ever made. Im not gonna spoil it of course but everything just perfectly being connected and coming together is what makes Redlines story amazing in my opinion. If the story doesnt interest you no problem its also an absolutely amazing action movie if you just want to lay back and have some mindless fun. Characters: The characters are absolutely amazing especially when it comes to how they look. Im not even kidding when I say that this movie has by far the best and most unique looking characters ever made. Who wouldve thought that you could actually give anime characters noses and put shading on their face? Some characters are just straight up goofy looking aliens while JP and Sonoshee actually look and behave like humans and not like your typical EEEEHHH NANI?? MMASAKA anime protagonist. The English dub is way better than the subbed version by the way which is quite rare. All in all the characters are just really really well made and theres quite a lot of character development considering the movie is only 1.5hrs long. Where the characters really shine though are when it comes to the side characters. They actually have a personality believe it or not despite the fact that most of them only have like 3 minutes of screentime. Combined with the character design youll most likely remember most of the cast months after having watched the movie. 450https://c.tenor.com/KeWDHG0FMYUAAAAC/redlinejamespunkhead.gif Art Animation: This is what makes Redline stand out from literally every other anime. The animation is just unparalleled the only anime that even comes close is Space Dandy. Its just insane and also the reason the movie took 7 whole years to produce. If you look at literally any frame of Redline youll immediately recognize it thats how good and unique it looks. This entire movie is just a piece of art from start to finish so even if you dont care about the story the characters or anything else youll still enjoy it as long as youre interested in seeing some really good animation. Sound: The music absolutely slaps. Thats all I can say really. There is over an hour of music if you combine all the songs together and the entire movie is only 1.5hrs long. Every single song fits the scene perfectly but what stood out to me the most is the credits song Redline Day. Sometimes I just listen to it while falling a sleep its just incredibly comforting to me I dont know why. So yeah thats all there really is to it. Conclusion: Redline to me is absolute perfection. Ive watched it four times now and it gets me hyped every single time I see the ending scene. Its nothing short of a masterpiece that everyone should at the very least give a try its also a great movie to watch with friends. I understand that its not for everyone as it is a very overthetop action heavy movie but I cant think of a single thing I disliked and thats why Im giving it a perfect score.
