Blame The Movie : Review Blame The Movie is an Netflix Original animated by Polygon Studio which is adapted from the hit manga of the same name written by Tsutomu Nihei. The movie is about a dystopian postapocalyptic SciFi world and even though I havent read the manga I went into the movie pretty hyped up having heard great things about the manga. Did I like the move ? In a way yes. But was it any good or worth your time ? Lets find out shall we ? Story 6 Okay the start of the movie was.. Epic The world looked and felt atmospheric dark and it was great. within the first few minutes we get to see peoples struggles desperation to survive. I got immediately interested in world which seemed to be the main selling point of the show. But as the series movie progressed I felt more and more disappointed as it failed to explain any of the concepts of the world properly. There was this talk of a netsphere net terminal gene and all this gibberish which immediately caught my interest but didnt put much effort into explaining any of them. And when it reached the ending everything became even more convoluted and left me wondering What the fuck just happened? and not in a good way like Evangelion series. Art 9 THANK YOU POLYGON My previous experience with Polygon was a series called Knights of Sidonia which was also a Netflix original written by the same author. And that particular series had one of the worst Artworks Ive ever come to pass. But this time its different The movie looked stunning from start to end. Everything from the color palette lightning and special effects truly captured the feeling of a dark and desperate world. Character models looked and was animated great battles scenes truly looked epic and smooth with vibrant reds and blues. So in the Art and Animation department Polygon really hit it out of the park with this one. Sound 7 Music for the series was composed by Yugo Kanno and he did a great job with it. Everything blended in with the atmosphere quite nicely and specially Killys Soundtrack sounded great. All the sound effects with the battle scenes were on point and sounded good. To cap it off I found no fault with the voice acting either. In short this had a good soundtrack it could have been better but its lived up to my expectations. Characters 5 Characters of this movie suffered the same fate as the World of the movie did. They immediately caught my attention but then was left without exploration or depth. Worst part of it was even the main character Killy was treated the same way. Even after finishing watching the movie I had no idea who Killy was. All the information that was given to us was that his name is Killy He got a really cool gun and he might be the last hope for humanity. Thats it. The movie didnt really do enough to care about most of the side characters except for a few. It felt like they ran out of time to give the characters much depth. Enjoyment and Overall Experience 5 I didnt hate the movie I loved the atmosphere and visuals of it. I would be really happy if we get a squeal to this and explore the world and characters more and get answers to all the questions that left unanswered. So all in all it was a movie that didnt give enough but left me wanting more. Do I recommend it ? If we will have good squeals to this movie that builds on this world and characters that was presented in this movie Then yes. If not then no It wasnt a good stand alone movie. Recommendations Attack On Titan A non SciFi version of Blame a dystopian world humanity under attack and forced to live under shadows.
