Review of Redline

Amazing art, and a fun watch but beyond that it fails to hold ground. Characters can be fun to watch but are pretty one-note and get little to no development; like, I think Pops is the only one who actually gets any development or something resembling a character arc. Story has much going on while not doing much at the same time, little is explained and it feels like you're missing major backstory to a lot of things. This does open up room for theories but if your entire movie centers around needing theories or an outside source of information without any evidence within themovie able to prove or disprove anything, you're doing something wrong. It outright feels chaotic with how much is going on, the Redline race has practically an entire war going on at the same time as the race itself and it's incredibly hard to even know what you're supposed to be following since it jumps all over the place constantly.

JP is an interesting protagonist, doing his best to act cool which other characters call him out on or flat out ruin his moment of trying to be cool, it's a nice change of pace - however, there's practically no character to him beyond that, same with pretty much every other character; they have one unique trait that the others don't have and that's it.

7/10, enjoyable and features some of the best art I've ever seen, but ultimately nothing special beyond that.
