Review of Hello World

Visually, Hello World looked great. There was a lot of great shots that looked amazing, and alongside a good soundtrack this movie is definitely worth giving a watch. The animation was alright for the most part but there were moments where the characters movements just looked too unnatural and pulled you out of the immersion. Personally I'm not a fan of the CGI heavy animation style that was used but they did an alright job with it. The overall plot was interesting and kept me entertained throughout the movie, but it was a little mediocre. The main character didn't really have any motivation during the first halfof the movie, other than his future self told him to do it so he did. Maybe it was because of the animation style but I didn't feel that the characters were expressive enough. Sure they made a variety of facial expressions but I felt that were lacking a bit in human emotions. The main girl was a bit bland. I understand that shes supposed to be a shy and reserved character but they could have given her a bit more character development.
Because of what I felt was very little character development I felt that Naomi falling in love was a bit forced. Very little of the two main characters interactions were shown in full, mostly being shown in montages or very short scenes. This made the love story and character motivation this movies downfall.
Overall I would give this movie a 7/10 because it does have some redeeming features and is worth giving a shot if you have some free time and are looking for something to watch.
