A bunch of y’all rode with me when I kicked it about the Wind Ninja Chronicle so I am going to hit you in the head with another sick manga flick. ‘Appleseed‘ is for all of you post-apocalyptic futuristic mayhem fans.
It pops off after the third world war and the Earth is essentially too fucked up to inhabit. A provisional government creates a Utopia in the last remaining safe region of the planet. The people that live here are mostly DNA clones since very little humans survived the war. As you can imagine almost everything is regulated by the government including thoughts and memories. The problems arise when the DNA clones start freaking out inside the fishbowl of their virtual city.
The future city has a police force that is armed to the teeth just to keep motherfuckers from getting out of pocket, but there is this one rebel that once lived a normal human life outside of the new city and homeboy is shooting shit up. The special forces cop team that is comprised of the two people that also lived normally before the war is trying to track dude down to regulate his azz. One of the cops exists solely inside of this cybernetic organism. Like they somehow were able to put his brain into this machine. Dude is a f’ruckin’ beast and he kills bad guys like it’s nothing. His chick partner is a mercenary too.
The movie crosses a lot of philosophical ideas like what constitues living if you have no choice of action or thought. Don’t we need a little rain to put sunshine in it’s proper perspective? Before shit gets all thoughtful niggas start shooting up shit and killing each other. There are some great technical concepts for military industrial complex equipment that I bet the Defense Department is working on now. The fighting scenes are also superb and surprisingly realistic since the movie is a cartoon. All in all the film is another one of my Saturday night hydro smoking delights that you should put into your library.
I know what your sayin, I’ma keep my eye out for this sounds tight. I don’t even try and watch Akira anymoreif i’m blazin cuz that shit is confusing, but this one sounds suitable for my needs
Yup, I’ve been a fan of Appleseed… very dope.
