Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone curious about anime and fans of close encounters. Made in the anime tradition: bold, emotional and willing to go dark. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
The Pictorians have arrived from deep in space. They also have dangly glow-balls on their heads, which is kinda cool, but still. The freaky aliens are using use their crazy rainbow-beam-thingy to paint everything on Earth the same color: white! See, now the title of the movie makes more sense, right? Anyway, if the Pictorians are to be stopped, the Allied guys and the Axis boys - plus some new characters, too - must set aside their differences, unite against their common foe, and hopefully get together for a sweaty workout to make sure they're super-ready to save the world!
