I was looking for a movie to watch with my brother and sister the other day and came across Spirits of the Past. We were all tempted to look for something else to watch once we started to watch it. The story does not grab you straight away and the production quality seem a bit low. By that I mean, It didn't look like it was movie quality and more along the lines of an anime that is produced weekly. Since I hadn't downloaded anything else we continued on with Origin: Spirits of the Past and gradually began to enjoy the story line.

I wouldn't recommend this as a first choice to watch, however if you have nothing else to watch, it will do. =) (show less)

(Long Story SHORT)
It's set in the future, the world is fucked up from past events, there are TWO clifts, on one side is a Forest on the other side is the Machine world (factories etc etc)...and in the middle is a Tower (which is fucked up) and has people living inside it.

the forest produces water for the river, to the world...(its alive)...one kid travels into the forest, finds a girl frozen, and sets her free, the forest reacts by taking away the water, because it knows shes the Daughter of a scientist from the past, who created a machine (volcano) that can burn it down, so says to the people in the towner gve her to us, or no water for u.

5 year back, someone else from the past was unfrozen, and decided to work in the army (the factory side)...tunes out he caused the world to be fucked and created the forest, through his own stupidity and wants it dead, he gets the girl and wants her to help use the machine to kill the forest since she the daughter of the manhe worked with.

blah blah blah... he dies forest is saved, and they all live happily ever after LOL
