General Overview:
A film that, rather than focusing on visuals, attempts to explore the psychological breakdowns of the characters and the brutal world they find themselves in, in the science fiction, mecha (robot warfare), military, and survival genres, but doesn't quite succeed.
Good Sides:
Unfortunately, I can't recall any good points to mention. All I can say is that it contains a subtly mecha element, which might be helpful for mecha fans.
Bad Sides:
- The story is too didactic. Messages are constantly shoved in the viewer's face through the characters' mouths.
- The designs were poor.
- They should have worked more on the insects.
- There wasn't much of a compelling storyline. I watched the anime constantly feeling like I just wanted it to end.
Conclusion:
In short, it's an anime…

If your going to watch Blue Gender the movie I recommend taking the time to watch the series instead. The movie is little more than the 26 or so episodes compressed into 90 min. Watching the series first there were some changes to the storyline to make it all fit, but you miss out so much on the story that your left scrathing your head.
One of the biggest issues I had with it was the lack of development between the two main characters, not going to throw in any spoilers but with the level of development and the lever of dedication I guess you can say in the end is lacking. They also changed the ending of the series in the movie which I prefered over the movie much more.
In summary watch the series :)

Blue Gender: The Warrior is a retelling of the Blue Gender series with a few minor (and some major) adjustments. If you�re not willing or unable to sit through the entire 26 episodes of Blue Gender but still want to see what it�s all about then this movie would probably be the way to go, but that does come at a price. The Warrior is what you get when you try to cram a 26 episode series into a hour and a half long movie. A rushed piece of mediocrity that doesn�t leave much room for anything other than quick deaths and awkwardly paced character development. While it more or less maintains the plot elements featured in the series, it all but misses some of the strongest moments that redeemed the series during some of its darker hours. Not only are a lot of characters killed off way too quickl…
