Review of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

I was slightly skeptic about watching this movie after it had been regarded as a masterpiece by everyone that suggested to me to watch it. I tend to predict plot developments beforehand after watching some thriller movies, but Disappearance made me make a mistake about three times. This is part of the reason l loved the story twists. The movie has some beautifully drawn scenes which mesmerized me. More than one scene made me think they had sneaked in camera footage instead of animation. Initially, the run time of 2h 41m put me off since the majority of western movies and one DBZ movie barely reach 2hours. But, when watching it I couldn't even tell when half hour has passed in real life but the movie felt like it had only been 10 minutes.

Get ready for a thriller if you are watching this movie, some scene hit you when you least expect it.
