I took more time than I need, to watch this show, and it was worth the time assisted, I recommend
At first Deunan's 3D bothers a little (but I liked the hair instantly), I don't care so much for that, I got used fast, especially with 3D so Briareos, sensational
But one thing happens early on, and seems to repeat the show. The fights seem to be very theatrical, I can't explain, uncommon (And yes, reading this may sound ironic), but I feel that the ideas for the scenes could be reviewed by someone else, so to make better scenes. I know who is the director, but something in the coordination of movement, I find it predictable, or it may be me wanting too much
I thought the TwoHorns helmet, and the other 2 robots, I want (Briareos and) both in model kit
In terms of script, it is obviously well…

Yikes is the best word to sum up Appleseed Alpha.
This alternative story takes place in what looks to be the most cliché post-apocalyptic world with a cast that is equally cliché in every way possible, from the misunderstood pretentious villain who wants to "control" the world through destruction by justifying pseudo-philosophical beliefs that don't even apply; to the damsel in Distress troupe and most annoyingly the main cast have so much plot armour that it would make a Battle Shonen protagonist envious.
Most combat encounters are also ridiculously scripted, and nothing feels natural. No amount of battle tactics or thought matters because almost every combat scenario has some sort of "coincidence" that occurs to either get the main cast out safely or to further push the narrative wit…

Alpha doesn't have anything to do with the original story, and threw out of the window the themes about society, technology, and humankind, from Appleseed. It's basically an action flick.
I do think it has a better dynamic between Deunan and Briareos, but the whole plot and characters are pretty basic - Deuman design got pretty dumb too, using a tactical gear the protects her back and shoulder, but has a huge cleavage just to show boobs. I find this kind of fan service is quite pathetic.
What really impressed me is the CGI, it's quite an eye candy. This movie has fantastic looks and it kinda compensates for all the rest.
I'd give it a 7.5, but since I can't, it's an 8.

I'm an adult. I watched the english dub. I have no prior experience with Appleseed-stuff. I do, however, have a positive bias towards the sci-fi, cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic genres in general. I have no strong opinions on CGI. I knew nothing about the film before watching it, but had a vague memory of someone telling me that it looked pretty good. With that in mind, this is my short review:
The aesthetics impressed me. The enviroment, sets, landscapes or whatever you want to call them, are appealing in the post-apocalyptic way.
Quite a few cool action sequences, explosions, gun fights etc. Entertaining and well made!
Characters look cool and the dialogue is ok - but don't expect too much when it comes to depth.
I ended up caring little for the story, I was more invested in the cybor…

Appleseed Alpha, or Appleseed α is a computer-animated military science fiction cyberpunk movie. It had an advance digital release on July 15, 2014. The movie is set in different series of events, so you will not have to watch alternative versions of it, which aired a long time ago, only to understand it.
Appleseed Alpha focuses on the early days of Deunan Knute and Briareos in the 22nd century, as they start their journey throughout the ruins of New York in search of the mysterious city called Olympus. Deunan Knute and Briareos are hired by criminals to help them deal with the robots that seem to hinder them a lot. On one of these missions, our duo encounters Iris and Olson, who are on a mission, too. It is later revealed that Iris and Olson’s mission is somehow connected with what Deun…

Appleseed Alpha is a action, explosions, gunshots adrenaline movie, if you want action with a easy to understand soft story you will like this movie, and sometimes is good to watch something were you don't have to think so much.
Story- 7/10
The plot of this movie is nothing to think about. You have seen it in one form or another a million times before, often better executed. Would've done nicely for a game though. It's the classic bad guy wants to destroy or govern the world so good guys need to stop him.
Art-10/10
i don't like CGI but yes BUT!! this movie was EPIC the artwork was so good that i really doubted in the beginning of the movie whether it was animation or live action. The ruins of New York look like a delight to wander around in and to just explore, the characters were so r…

I found about this franchise with the trailer of Appleseed Alfa post by IGN, “from the creator of Ghost in the Shell”, but is not recommendable to compare because after watching the four movies all i can thing of is “Transformers”, mediocre and disposable entertainment made for a wider audience. Don’t get wrong, the movies are not bad… just mediocre.
Have you ever see a movie and something stupid happed; something that doesn’t make sense, you ask yourself why it happens and answer is “well, y it’s a movie”. You haven realize (or don’t want to accept it) but suspension of disbelief has die in front of your eyes, in that moment, the 30-40 minutes that the movie has left will be a tedious job ratter that an entertainment. Things like “my plan depend of this bottom, when I push it I win and y…

It's breddy gud /10
Story is kinda cliché, but hey... If it's not broken don't fix it.
Art is really the strong point. The CG is amazing and everything looks great.
Sound is also great, adds a lot to the experience.
Characters are pretty good, if a little cliché, I don't have any experience with the rest of Appleseed so I won't complain much. Overall, I like it, looks great, feels great.
Yeah, it's breddy gud.
