AtomicSquid is absolutely right. A shameless, cringeworthy amount of exposition. The philosophical questions everyone is talking about aren't raised by the story, they are literally asked in the dialogue. Fantastic visuals but really weak writing.

I have seen this movie a few times. Yes there is a lot of talking and not enough action but there is a really great story to be told and a lot to learn from this movie. Give it a chance.

Did real people created this film, as in real human beings? Because it felt like it was made by some kind of cyborg or a computer programme. It really felt that way, and not only because some of the main characters were robots and talked about spirit as it is an object. Cold, mean-spirited, empty, emotionless... - the best words I can think of to describe this film.
While I was staring at blank anime faces and listening to bland, boring dialog the only thought I had in mind was "what's the point?".
It's the type of movies I don't like, but I kind of appreciate it, because I know that some people do find something in them, but I don't understand what. To me one honest human moment in a film is worth much more than a super complicated plot involving philosophy, politics, blahblahblah, blah... And I didn't find anything human in this film.

Holy exposition, Batman! Movie would be 10 minutes long if they stopped explaining everything. Show -- don't tell. Even with all the exposition I still didn't really get it or care to try.

Pretty good but there was way too much stuff going on for such a short movie.

Hardly made it through the movie. Found it to be just dreadful and boring.

i am sorry, i dont get it. this movie was dreadful. there was like a 5 minute scene of just some awful playing music. the plot was either too simplistic or too complicated depending on how you much you wanted to look into it.

also, the voice actors in the english version seemed bored with their own performances, there was absolutely no effort to show any type of emotion. i know that shouldnt be a knock on the original japanese film, but i couldn't stand it.
