Watch Assault Girls For Free

Best movie ever!

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I'm a fan of Oshii's Avalon. The haunting music, the subdued colors, the quiet, restricted lifestyle of the main characters, Oshii's quirky little games of putting things like dogs and statues through the film, making you wonder why they're there. Not to mention the scene where Stunner chows down on eggs and sausage, and we watch the whole meal.It's all there in Assault Girls! This seems to be a direct sequel to Avalon. Same haunting music, subdued colors, quiet characters... yep, there's a dog, a statue, and now, a snail (poor snail goes through a lot!) Of course, there's a scene where someone's chowing down on eggs and sausage.Yes, the pace is slow. But beautifully colored skies, people meandering around the landscape, solemn music, really gets you into a contemplative state. If that's all there was to the movie, I'd agree, it's a boring way to spend 70 minutes. But there's a point to this.**SPOILER ALERT** The bulk of the movie has the 4 main characters pondering having to work as a group to get to the next level of the game they're playing. They can't do it individually. So, near the end of the movie, they get together.They kill the monster.Here's the best, and I swear, most unexpected ending. It all happens in the last couple minutes of the flick All the players are racing to get out of the game, first one out gets all the spoils of war. But the main player with the big gun, doesn't have a way out of the game. Everyone's laughing at him. You think to yourself, what a way to step on someone that helped you out. He agreed to split the reward, but looks like he's getting nothing for his efforts.Then he blows a fuse, and shoots down all the other players, yelling that he's going to become a player-killer! So in the end, everyone gets screwed, and it's an all out war between the players.A quiet, slow-paced film with a hell of a twist in the end that made me laugh so hard my sides hurt! The guy's 'I've had it with this game!' face as he unleashed his ammo on everyone was just so funny, I kept rewinding and laughing.EDIT: If you haven't watched Avalon (you don't have to) you might have a harder time tolerating the utterly strange elements in the film. Why use Japanese actors and force them to speak English? What's with the semi-cheesy cgi? Here's a little trivia. Director Oshii has a long-standing peeve about Japan's insistence that movies from their country should be in Japanese language. Why he's over the top about this, I don't know. But he purposely made the film Avalon with Polish actors speaking Polish, and now this follow-up with Japenese actors speaking English. I think it's great.My one complaint about this film, along with Avalon, is that they're both poorly marketed and advertised. Very misleading. Both films should be packaged together, along with a short documentary or interview with the director, explaining the mysteries of the films.Avalon and Assault Girls, my 2 favorite movies of all time. Can't wait for Oshii's next meditative sci-fi adventure!

I've read a lot of reviews about how bad this movie was, so I decided to give it a watch to see if I feel the same. (I discovered the movie by watching the video for the closing song) After watching it I feel like I got a different take then most people. I guess being use to watching a lot of Asian cinema and playing mmorpg games gives me a different perspective then those that expect this to follow the standard movie formula.First off if your interests are watching a movie about girls with guns kicking butt, then you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a traditional story line, then again you will be disappointed. If you are looking for fast paced action, yet again you will be disappointed. Going into this is less like going into a movie and more like watching a mmorpg play out. The long walks...the strategy...the stats discussions, I've done them before. All mmorpg.And for the characters, as far as a movie goes they appear very shallow, however from a mmorpg perspective each one plays into one specific aspect that gamers carry: admiration, enjoyment, escape, and determination.To go into more detail by explaining the snail scene as well as give evidence to back up, read below: (and this is where *MAJOR SPOILERS* come in. Skip this if you haven't seen the movie.) Colonel is the symbol of admiration; the type of gamer that says, "Oh wow, look at those graphics". In the snail scene she places the snail on the status and just sits there and watches it move then leaves it. Also in other scenes she is shown walking around looking to the sky or the ground as if she is viewing her surroundings.Next Lucifer is the symbol of enjoyment. She plays for fun. Hence why at the snail she took off her hat and played a game similar to peek-a-boo. Outside of that scene she is always dancing and goofing off (one scene she is told to stop dancing during battle). Also the way she is introduced is through what I would assume to be a unnatural entrance: crashing from the sky.Then Jager is the symbol of escape, aka the role-player. He picks the snail ups and eats it. To him the game is a 2nd life. He is also the only character seen eating and sleeping. Also his camp mode is very different then the other camp mode. Towards the end Gray says that it is "not the time to play the role of the adventurer" to him. (At the end he mentions he is changing his character type to PVP - yet another type of gamer) Finally Gray symbolized determination, the character that plans their growth to level up fastest and become the strongest,hence the crushing of the snail shell. She is the only one (apart from a comment from Colonel about hitting xp ceiling) that talks about or is talked to about her level and stats. Also when she walks around she is always looking through a scouter as if she is looking for something to kill.*END SPOILERS* If you want to watch this movie, know what you are getting into first. This is less of a movie and more of a game. To the average viewer I recommend skipping it. But if you love mmorpgs then this might be a good movie to try.Again all others stay away or you will discover boredom quickly.

The only reason to watch this film is because it has three hot Japanese babe in it.Sadly, they are given very little to do. The plot is I guess is that for some reason, three babes are in this Virtual reality game because the world outside has been largely wiped out, but apparently, the game merely consists of hunting CGI sand-serpents with elaborate weapons. Or something. Let me know if you figure it out...The special effects aren't bad, but the characters are so dull, and there are such long gaps in action, such as long shots of a huge snail before the male lead eats it....Maybe this is a treatment for insomnia in Japan.

Just saw this movie at the New York Anime Festival and it was a major disappointment, making me wish I didn't waste time waiting to see it when I could have gone home sooner. The first 15-20 minutes of the movie had a narrator describing the economic conditions leading up to this video game world. This should have and could have been done in less time. The few fight scenes that there were in this movie were very short. Some people walked out within the first 30 minutes of this movie and the remaining audience started giving this movie the MST 3000 treatment. I don't think anyone watching this movei liked it going by the audience responses. It takes more than trying to look artsy to make a movie, there has to be some plot and this movie really had none. Really I've seen porn movies with more plot than this stinker.
