While Revolutionary Girl Utena: Adolescence Apocalypse is decent in plot, what really stands out in this movie is the design of the Ohtori Academy. The overall design of the school is technically brilliant, thought there are some definite continuity errors. Beyond that the use of panning shots through the movie are well placed and the idea behind it places the campus and events that occur there into a surreal environment that is lost in the original series. There are also several repetitions of shots that are used well, the constant movement of normally stationary items adds an element of interest. I saw this moviea while after the series was finished so it was a pretty blank slate, however the plot covered a lot of the same devices that were used in the original series.
