Review of Redline

Impossible that a movie like this was not animated, for good and for bad. The good: · Incredible color, aesthetics and visual power. The spectacular nature of some moments during the races. The bad: · That unfortunately in the world of anime everything is too stupid but at the same time they take their stupid things too seriously. --------------- It's like watching Star Wars II with all those political plots that take themselves so seriously, those romances that seem like the world is at stake, etc. Anime in general is like the mentality of considering that movie "the mature one" of the saga, because it deals with "adult themes"; that ittreats these adult subjects like a preschooler does not matter.

All this that I comment does not exactly go for Redline, since this is something common in that industry and this movie is just one more in it (it is not even one of the best examples, much less "geek/weird" than others). The thing is, 'Redline' has some important virtues that others don't have, and it manages to be a good movie despite that; but it's a shame that it gets lost in plots of shadow organizations, the robot planet and talks that don't go anywhere.

If 'Redline' was reduced to a great visual experience where the narrative does not matter just for two or three details that advance the plot such as the issue of gambling and fixing races + the possible romance between JP and Sonoshee + races and shots of space or whatever for the downtimes you would have a top movie; simple, but powerful and quite an experience.
