Vexille (2007)
Vexille (2007) 6/10
Well, it looks gorgeous. Top notch animation. Serviceable plot. It better than say, APPLESEED or GHOST IN THE SHELL 2, but its hardly a classic. Felt too much like a lousier, animated version of Battlestar Galactica. Yes, if you are going to make a film about machines who are humans, then you will be compared to BSG and you will inevitably fall short. Its like if you make a mafia film, be prepared to be compared to Godfather or the Goodfellas. Or War films which are compared to Saving Private Ryan. They have set the standard and every new film with a similar plot will be compared, and those who fall short will be shown little mercy. As for Vexille, its a good looking film with a mediocre plot.
