This is a beautifully animated movie. The characters are engaging, and the plot is interesting. I loved seeing all the machinery and how the people interacted with it. A pretty standard post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk movie; you definitely know it's a Shirow Masamune work. The only flaw, I think, may be towards the end. The plot gets a little weak, but it comes back for a nice finish.
Makes me want to watch the second one!
