Review of Akira

Akira is all in all, a great movie. Although it is slow moving and slightly long winded, it has a great psychological, dystopian feel to it, making any sci-fi fan become attached and wanting to watch more. Due to the nature of the anime, and it being gory, and disturbing in places, this isn't a family type movie, and suits more of the older range of fans, that are at least sixteen or over. The art in this movie has amazing quality for the time it was released, and some backgrounds are incredibly detailed and suitable for the scene. Although, if compared to more modern anime,it wouldn't be appreciated as much.
The music in this anime makes an impact on you, ranging from the eerie backing tracks, to the techno beats. It fits into the scenes and the movie wouldn't be complete without it.

In my opinion, I didn't like the movie at first as I had watched it when I was only ten years old, making me bored all the way through, and not understanding much of the storyline. but now having rewatched it, I have come to truly appreciate the movie.
