Review of Paprika

After reading some polarized reviews of Paprika I went into this movie not knowing exactly what to expect and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. The visuals are absolutely stunning and the amount of detail in some of the scenes are astounding. This movie is a treat for the eyes and ears as the music is amazing as well, but i'll get back to that in a second. Some of the dream sections in the movie are just mind blowing with everything that's going on and even if you don't always know exactly what's going on in these scenes you are enjoying ifnone the less and you feel like you've really been on a journey by the time the credits roll.

The music is really memorable and never failed to impress me. I'm actually listening to the soundtrack right now and I can't get enough of it! The use of Vocaloid fits really well and adds a lot to this already catchy, but still epic soundtrack.

The plot itself is a little predictable, especially when it came to the villains, but its still an interesting concept and the main cast of characters are a fun bunch. I really liked the main characters split personality with Paprika being a full fleshed character of her own an not just a part of Dr. Chiba.

Overall this movie is a great watch with fantastic visuals and an amazing soundtrack and also a cool story that makes for some mind bending scenes in the dream world. 9/10 Would recommend to anyone.
