Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Honestly it was great fun. The setup was good, the plot was clear and the three main characters were all very likable.Plot: When a hacker called "Frontier Setter" hacks into an ideal virtual world where most of remaining humanity resides, the Officials of the system dispatch "Angela Balzac" to Earth where she'll not only have to cope with the harsh conditions of wasteland Earth but with her guide "Dingo" and her new body. The unlikely duo track down "Frontier Setter" and discovers a shocking truth that will lead to an unexpected battle against time.Of course there's philosophical talk. "What makes a person... human? Can robot have consciousness of its own?" It's a familiar theme, almost a standard in big budget Japanese theatrical anime. But it wasn't over-done and the message was straight-forward. Of course the female lead is impossibly hot (even in her "under-developed" "16 year old" body). It's textbook stuff, mate. There will be flashes of her naked body. She will wear clothes that show off her amazing physique and nobody in the film will bat an eye. And of course there will be big showdown involving missiles, lasers, machine-guns, robots, booby-traps, sniper rifles and giant swords.It is also predictably amazing in its visual aesthetics. Every frame is filled with detail and the sheer clarity of it all makes current CGI animation doodles on photo-shop. Lively camera work also adds to the action taking place while never losing focus on its characters. But you know all of this when you're even searching on IMDb for this film.This is not a game changer for mainstream anime. Nor is it a must-watch for newbies to get a taste of what an anime genre can offer. What it is that it's a pure entertainment that combines what's best in the industry and jam-packed into 100 minutes of rollicking ride. Your eyes shall water, your mind shall think and it will leave you satisfied. Nothing more, nothing less.My only wish for improvement is with plot in DEVA. It's a fantastic premise (although yes, it does sound like Matrix) and well deserves its own action sequence within. The possibility of it is endless and yet we are only given teases of it. However it's just a thought that comes way later after losing yourself in the film's world and its attractive characters. Oh and stay in for the credits. You'd be missing out otherwise.

just finished this Anime film tonight called Expelled from Paradise and I thought it was good. When I saw a trailer for it, I thought it would be good for Toonami, and it could be, but since I watched it already, lets see if it will interest you guys . The plot takes place in a time where people have been digitized and are in a new world in a space computer. But someone/something is trying to hack into their world, so a woman by the name Angela Balzac, goes down to earth (where humans now have a hard time living in this apocalyptic world). She comes down to find the hacker and to rendezvous with a man named Dingo. When they meet, well, the first thing is trouble - and that's where the story starts. It later has a twist where you think the bad isn't bad sort of thing. But after it was over I had this feeling where I wish there was more to their journey and I would have liked to see what they were doing even after the film fully ended. There are few clips in the middle of the credits, and at the very end of the credits, just a two or three second thing and that's it; the last clip was very short. I thought Steve Blum (Dingo) and Wendee Lee (Angela) did a great job as well as Johnny Yong Bosch (Frontier Setter). I enjoyed watching it all the way until the end. I don't know how many people would watch it and like it, but I guess you could watch it to find out for yourself. The animation was good - it had that 3D-ish type of feeling and a mixture of anime. It also had a Matrix feel to it because of the world that Angela comes from, and also a wild west feel to it in some scenes. Overall, a good film.

After reading residentgrigo's review, I felt an obligation to express my view of the movie. So for the first time in a long time I write a review in IMDb, because I really like the movie. It might contain some spoilers.First, it is built on a very possible scenario: in the future world-wide desertification threaten human's survival. So they built a gigantic space station which contains millions of souls/virtual brains. In the meantime some real human, in much less quantity, still live in the ruins of the previous civilization. A mysterious hacker from Earth invaded the space station and broadcast some strange messages. Thus the "Gods" in space send out "Angels" to earth to find the hacker and stop him...I won't go too deep into the plot. What I want to say is this movie has impressive details: the virtual fantasy world in space is vastly different than the after apocalypse world on Earth. Everything from above is shiny and super-advanced while everything down there is dirty, rusty and hand-made. How they dress and trade things, how they think about happiness are quite different based on their situation. In short, everything is carefully thought of, except one giant hole as other reviewer mentioned: she should have changed her clothes while walked in the town.The cities of ruins look authentic. One of them is clearly Manhattan. I can even see the "34th Street Penn Station" words on the subway entrance. Other cities all have kind of America-after-collapse feeling. I wish I knew which one they were based on. Nonetheless you can feel like each rusty pole, each broken window, each damaged building is telling you a tiny story. Details, people. The desert scene and night view are also very well drawn.The action scene is good and decent. A little too fast but that's Japan anime for you. Watching it frame by frame will give you unexpected surprised. Try it if you watch it a second time. The fighting is 80% brain and 20% brawl, unlike most of other animes. Weapon system is mostly old school. (An advanced weapon was used in the beginning but somehow not used in the later fights. Another small plot hole.) So in all I'd say this is a decent Japanese Sci-Fi animation. Fans of Gundam and Ghost in the shell will love it.Lastly, when watching this movie, pause at Earth scenes and think about it: will my grand children live in a world like this? According to most scientists, they will.

I wrote this as a slight counterpoint to ANN's glowing review: The movie is now rated with a "good" and my big problem is how scenario crazy it is. There is way to much world building and explanations for a film of 100 min. runtime. It felt more like a extended pilot or something. I like the characters(well all 3 of them) and it didn't have the expected 3rd act trouble as i feared. The music/Va's were further good and the Cg is a B- for me. It looked nice when a lot happened but the calmer are looked off. That said it is a bad idea in general to try and make low budgeted(or otherwise)CG characters look sexually appealing as it will backfire as seen here. I also wonder where the 16 year old body came from but let's just assume that it is a clever compromise to look appealing to a wider crowd who would be frightened if their leading lady was an obachan in her 20s. And now in ANN magic points. Overall(sub):B- / Story:B- / Animation:B- / Art:B / Music:B+. A good one time popcorn flick and that is all. Giovanni's Island is 2014's best anime film, the Lego Movie the best overall but this is also twice the movie the similar 009 Re:Cyborg tried to be.
