Summary: When a paramilitary task force called E.S.W.A.T. and its operations in the year 2199 Olympus, a futuristic utopia where humans, cyborgs, and bio-engineered human beings called "Bioroids" are attempting to live in perfect harmony. However, a series of random terrorist attacks perpetrated by cyborgs and humans alike threaten to throw Olympus into total chaos. As it turns out, these humans and machines have come under the influence of an unknown electronic signal that hacks into their nervous systems and they then become the unwilling servants of a malevolent computerized entity. Thrown into the action is the plucky female E.S.W.A.T. warrior Deunan Knute and her cyborg lover/partner Briareos as they investigate these bizarre occurrences with the other members of their unit. Things become complicated when a bioroid named Tereus, who resembles Briareous in his human form, joins their unit and threatens to come between their relationship. But these three must put aside their differences to face an even greater threat that promises world destruction in its wake.

I've never understood the allure of anime being in 3D. Most of the time, it is poorly done and the clunkiness of the animation is distracting. Appleseed is a show that would have benefited from being done using traditional animation. This show is from the same creator of Ghost in the Shell and had a great story to tell that was impeded by the type of animation used. An ambitious vision of the future, Appleseed offers us visions beyond Ghost in the Shell. It invites us to think of issues that might affect a futuristic society that has given birth to a sentient species similar to humans.

This movie provided an average cast of characters, a good plot and average music. This would have definitely been rated higher were it not for the distracting type of animation used.

What I LIKE about Appleseed ex Machina:
-Fantastic futuristic vision
-Good voice acting

What I DISLIKE about Appleseed ex Machina:
-Animation

Summary
I would recommend this to fans of science fiction anime and of Ghost in the Shell. Apart from the animation, the plot was slightly above average and the futuristic setting was spectacular.

Overall, I rate this a 6 out of 10
