Watch Redline For Free

Beautiful, moving film.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Watching the movie was a bit like a roller-coaster ride. The entire movie is one really long, action packed, colourful, adrenaline-fueled, shrill and loud drag race for your brain - which is the movie's main strength, as well as its most prominent weakness.There is (unfortunately) little explanation concerning the characters, the locations and the entire story... but seriously, if you want action, you care little about the story, right? Or do you? At least you are being told that it is taking place in a different galaxy.As mentioned, the movie is visually rather stunning and I really had to watch some sequences in slo-mo, otherwise it's really hard to keep up with everything happening there.In terms of presentation it sort of reminds me of "Heavy Metal (1981)", but just here and there. Most of the time it's your good Japanese anime. The characters are rather shallow and the end is - without giving too much away - rather unfitting. Seriously? "Death Race" with a lousy love story? Which, IMO belittles enjoyment greatly, because it does not further the story, nor does it make any sense - at least to me.I second the notion that you should watch in on a big screen, volume up to 11. So, if you want some in-your-face crazy action, grab a serving of popcorn, gulp an energy drink, or two, and enjoy the ride. Not a brilliant movie, but better than your average anime.

This is definitely a top class anime flick! I won't lie and says it has a killer storyline - it's no Ghibli movie - but it is totally cool and it does have memorable characters even if they aren't fully fleshed out. It's like watching a 2 hr long episode of Cowboy bebop (style & adrenalin) meets Outlaw Star (comedy ). It is suave anime and it does it very well. Well worth 102 mins of your time - it's like a guilty pleasure. And the soundtrack is one of the best around, period! It's about "Sweet" JP, a small-time ex-con racer who competes mostly to help his mechanic buddy Frisbee pull off fixes for the mob he owes money to, but he finally gets a shot at the biggest race of them all - the illegal Redline. Also competing is his secret crush "Crab" Sonshee and she wants nothing more than to climb that winners' podium for her long-lost dad. It's a race where anything goes (and usually does) - add to that the authorities want to stop the race at all costs and what you get is the anime version of The Cannonball Run, with a lot of explosions, nitro, burning rubber and a cast of characters good and bad you'll not forget anytime soon!

Over-the-top action is taken to a whole new level in the anime film "Redline" but unfortunately that's not a compliment. "Sweet" JP (Takuya Kimura) is a fiercely determined driver who has just lost his chance of getting into a deadly racing competition known as "Redline." Though when two of the drivers decide to drop out, JP gets his chance to finally compete. This is ultimately how paper thin the storyline actually gets. Everything about this movie moves a mile a minute and does not seem to care about fleshing anything out (which ends up hurting the film when they throw a love interest into the mesh). The animation style, while starting off interesting, gets stale fast and by the end almost feels more like an elaborate motion comic. The majority of the action takes place in the second half of the movie and much like the rest of the movie comes and goes so quickly for anyone to actually feel completely involved. Some anime enthusiasts might enjoy "Redline" for the unique animation style and occasional quirks but for everyone else it's another potentially fun film that crashed and burned.

Quick capsule summary of Redline: It's an animated, intergalactic "Death Race 2000," on buffalo steroids and with a jalapeño up its a$$.An illegal and absurdly violent drag race occurs once every five years, each time on a different planet. This may be for reasons of secrecy, or just because the old planet is rendered unusable. The main hero, J.P., is a racer who tends to explode and wipe out before the finish, but feels destined to win the big one. Things go fast, crash into each other and go up like the Hindenburg.In this world, men are men; women are women; squishy purple aliens are purple and squishy; and everything is blown completely out of proportion. If you want to see what animation can do better than live film, Redline is a good start. Michael Bay and his lesser followers can use all the CG and shaky-cams they want, but no live-action movie will ever be able to whap the viewer in the face with unhinged chaos that buckles the frame and yet stays somehow comprehensible. It's been attempted, and has usually led to legendary failures like Speed Racer. A pack of nerdy Asians with paintbrushes do Hollywood like punks, and all the render farms in the world wilt and run barren.The movie opens with a race that is merely impossible, and introduces J.P., who almost wins it until a Mafia bomb takes out his front wheel. The crown goes to Sonoshee, his childhood crush and next best racer. They are just two of the weird characters who qualify for the ultimate landscape-altering contest. This year, the Redline race committee feels that equipping the cars with rockets and grenades doesn't make for nearly enough mayhem, and decides to hold the race on Roboworld – a planet run by Nazi cyborg generals who are willing to do absolutely anything to avoid the honor. Roboworld appears completely barren except for some of the most destructive weaponry in the known universe, and by golly, is the government ever determined to use it all.The movie would be hilarious without even trying for humor, simply because it's so preposterous; however, it does try in its odd way, and pulls it off. The base camp for the final race lies on a refugee world. The place is just as anarchic and badly-managed as one would expect; upon arrival, JP is accosted by a gang of knee-tall aliens who look like Tweety's sketchy, mutated fugee cousins. He runs into inconceivably bad service at the money-changing window, and gets ripped off in an ungodly way while buying cigarettes. Complaints don't help.Soon, the tobacco troubles are forgotten, as it's time for the big race. Words can't describe it, so you'll have to see it for yourself. If you need any further motivation, it somehow involves a "bio-weapon" called Funky Boy that could give Akira himself a couple of pointers in indiscriminate destruction.Redline is pure lizard-brain pleasure. The remarkable thing is that, at the same time, it isn't offensively and painfully stupid like, say, Armageddon. If you like cars, spaceships, guns and explosions, watch it as soon as you can.
