Umm, cool art style I guess?

This movie basically made me feel that I was watching a F-Zero movie. It's got the wacky characters and insane sense of speed and everything, though the story is, of course, just an excuse for the absurdly beautiful animation and the characters don't really have much going for them except "gotta win this race". That all being said, I dug it, and it goes so insanely off the rails at the end in the absolute best way possible. The climax just kept on getting more and more ridiculous. Good stuff.

Anime Vice did a write-up on this movie as well. With two sterling reccommedations, I will try and seek out this movie. It does look pretty cool.

The screen shots are certainly gorgeous. I will seek this out.

I don't know if the DVD is out on the US yet, but you can watch the movie online here. It's 360p only, and the movie is awesome, so you definitely should try to get the DVD.

Ah, very cool! I will have to check it out over the weekend.

Looks like there's going to be a DVD/Blu-ray release of it mid-January, according to Amazon.

REDLINE is a must see movie for everybody. Just watch it in 1080p!
 
Its really insane how you can pause and every single frame is crystal clear and perfect, also the level of detail is unbelievable. Its just... amazing. 
  

Just watched it. The animation is jaw-dropping. It's head and shoulders above anything I've ever seen, including Sword of the Stranger and Ghibli's stuff.

I just wish I could watch it on a huge cinema screen.

Because it's a shitty screenshot. My bad.

Ah, no problem. I'll witness the epicness when I watch the movie.

I have this movie. I am going to watch it now.

i totally forgot that this movie existed somewhere on my hard drive. i should go watch it now.

I watched this. It was pretty amazing.

I really wanted to like this movie but the story was crap to me. I watched it in 1080p on a nice setup. Sure it looked good but it had no soul. I guess I'm not into anime anymore.

The DVD for the Western market comes out next month for those interested. It's on Amazon now.

@AjayRaz: GTFO until you come back after watching it! Go go go!

The Blu-ray cover art for this movie is my new favorite thing:

@MikeGosot said:

@Captain_Felafel: Why the Blu-Ray cover specifically?

Nothing specifically; I just happened to look for the movie on Blu-ray and saw this incredibly artwork.

@MikeGosot said:

@Captain_Felafel: I thought it was something incredibly dumb like "The movie says 'red', but it's in BLU-ray."

No, that'd only be a good thing if the box was actually red.

You know, it would be awesome to see a red Blu-ray box.

The Blu-ray version of The Incredible Hulk was in a green box; that was kind of awesome in a really stupid way.

Honestly, the art style doesn't do it for me.

That's pretty neat. I thought you could only make Blue cases for Blu-ray for some stupid reason.

Apparently there are ways to get around it. I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel (Or whoever Produced the movie) had to ask special permission from Sony or something, cause it's the only time I've ever seen a non-blue Blu-ray case before.

Oh, c'mon, saying that is like thinking you're not into gaming because you thought that Gears Of War "had no soul". I'm not trying to defend the movie, i just think that completely giving up on animes because of ONE MOVIE is dumb.

Not just one movie. I lived in Japan for 3 years. The novelty of the whole Japanarama otherness has been worn out for me which is the actual reasoning behind my disinterest. I stopped caring about JRPGs too. Once you learn all the intricacies and quirks of the society, everything loses its fun because you realize it's all the same thing over and over again. What attracted me to anime were the mature and interesting stories more than the visual style.

holy balls, downloading now!
