  • Another CGI orgy. Meh.

  • this kinda reminds me of that upcoming movie Sucker Punch, in a borderlining way or some sort of that

  • We have made a Song about this Theme - but our Lyrics are in German.

    You can watch it on our Channel.

    The Song calls "bang bang bang" :-)

  • I heard this was amazing. was it?

  • For the life of me I can't find the torrent for this. I keep getting that queer "Mists of Avalon" -_-

  • the best 4 dollers australian i have ever spent , love this movie

  • Comment removed

  • very good convential betveen II World War and Our world in the future.

  • "The Matrix" could only dream to be like "Avalon".

  • Wait is this a rea preveiw for a movie

    

  • Matrix is a mix of sci fi anime and sci fi literature.

  • The Matrix ain't Cyberpunk!! it's just a 2 hour movie of terrible acting and movie mistakes.

    AVALON has soul, it is poetry in motion.

  • @1shoryuken

    Matrix has a lot of Cyberpunk elements and a whole trilogy is much longer than 2 hours. It's rather disappointing, agreed, cause characters and ideas take a back seat to the special effects.

    And it's definitely NOT a Film Noir (crime drama that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations), so I suggest some trolls to use internet before posting there something ^^

  • Reality isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    Google: "The Simulation Argument" by Nick Bostrom.

    "The Holographic Principle."

    "Digital Physics." That's just to start with. Maya. An Illusion. I only have one question, really. How many of you are non-player characters?

  • Very cool.

  • A really good cyberpunk film. Now I know where that Ghost In The Shell' s dog comes from :) Both movies are about the same: what is virtual, what is real, reality is just a 7 letters word and nobody knows what it means.

    Summoning the spirit of Matrix makes me feel kinda uncomfortable, though. Matrix is a crap (put your thumbs down if you're into superheroes, I'll survive it somehow ;), but admit - Neo is too cool to identify with), choose these two to watch, watch over again and enjoy. I did.

  • Can you say that again with some manner of actual English structure?

    And Neo is easy to identify with. He's not the one because of some innate superhero ability, he's the one because he truly believes he can do anything. When you realize that, you can realize he's not some amazing person, he's just never really grown up.

  • Besides, it's a topic about Avalon, not Matrix, didn't you noticed?

  • Then why put The Matrix into it? If you don't want people to comment on what you have to say, don't say it. Pretty simple...

    Also, if you can't identify with him, you need to understand his character rather than trying to think of him as some reincarnation of Jesus...

    And FYI, Ghost in the Shell has been out since long before Avalon... Timelines are worldwide, you have no excuse for that...

  • Comment removed

  • FYI, I can read your comment even after you delete it...

    You can't say anything you want, and expect people to ignore it. That's not how the world works, as you claim it to.

    Also, The Matrix is a blockbuster not just because more people watch it, but because of Film Noir, which Avalon does not have much of...

  • I can say anything and expect people not to try brainwash me. So I do not claim too much :)

    The Matrix is a blockbuster because of a huge promotion, no more and no less, whatever you like it or not :D

  • You don't know what a blockbuster is... Do you?

    Like I said, Film Noir. Since you don't seem to know what that means, I suggest you use the internet to figure it out. *rolls eyes*

  • I know what it is. I just don't care what you think. Your opinion is optional. Watch your crap and leave me alone with movies I like.

  • That cuts both ways, and even if you do like the movie, according to theatrical school and the art of directing it can still be terrible.

    You sound like one of those idiots who don't realize what they say has no meaning, and you are not entitled to your opinion.

  • Seems to be a good movie, btw. the second song is in Polish O_o

  • This is a Polish-Japanesse movie, music by Kenji Kawaii, he cooperated with Polish musicians many times.

    Btw. the soundtrack for Escaflone was made by the Warsaw Symphonic orchestra.

  • @MaximusProteus

    This is nothing unusual. Hellsing OVA ending was made by WSO too. They are somehow popular in Japan, maybe because of Chopin :)

  • @Yurusenai

    Could be, they`re really crazy about european music, including Chopin, they even made a... video game with Chopin called "Eternal sonata" LOL

  • I love this movie!! I got it on DVD and I watched it lots of times! XD I love the theme song too. Can anyone tell me what's it called?

  • As a VFX pro I was amazed at the level of work that made this,

    After watching the behind the scenes I really want the Domino system they used and developed for it.

  • Someone knows more movies like this one????

  • Casshern, i bet. It looks like it has more action and dialog than Avalon, though. (Not a hard feat.)

    For an actual groundbreaking storyline, you should watch the Matrix trilogy. Dark City and eXistenZ are also good.

  • Yuck, did you really like Dark City?  The concept was good, but the execution was terrible.

  • Yes, i liked the style, plot, pacing, and dialog. It wasn't as broad as The Matrix (which used one of the rooftop sets), but it's certainly up there with most Twilight Zone eps and some of The Truman Show.

  • i dont know try natural city

  • and immortal

  • It could be worse.

  • Gamer is copying this

  • Who the hell is Gamer?

  • Gamer can't compare to Avalon, Avalon deals thematically with certain philosophical ideals and themes that permeate the film, whereas Gamer is more of an actioner that deals somewhat with similar themes in a more visceral way; both films are good in their own way, I like them both, but Avalon approaches said themes more vividly and languidly explains them in broader detail

  • And this copied The Matrix, which copied Ghost in the Shell (also by Mamoru Oshii).

  • Well...if he made Ghost in the Shell. . . can you say he is copying?

    I saw the movie - the most trippy thing is that the movie was tri-lingual. Mamoru Oshii filmed it in Poland and used Polish actors so during the whole movie they speak in Polish. . . and on the bottom of the screen you see Japanese subtitles. Once in a while, though, English is used too.

  • Most people copy elements from their surrounding, which includes other people.

    For example, Matrix copied GitS' rooftop landing, acupuncture idea, and some (by then common) style, and Avalon copied Matrix's "real world" hookup chair and color filtering (as many modern movies and games do, sadly). Maybe some "bullet time" as well, though i think Natural Born Killers' knife scene helped inspire that.

  • Cyberpunk themes are not a new thing.

    If you go into discussion of who copied who, then in this case you would have to mention that Wachowski Brothers and Oshii both copied William Gibson who wrote the Neuromancer (back in 1984 I think).  Also, Wachowski brothers most certainly were influenced by Dark City (which came out in 1998 and featured a premise very similar to that of Matrix and a character similar to Neo ).

  • I remember that on youtube was a trailer with the prodigy music. Does anyone can upload it again ? :x pl0xx

  • I tracked down the DVD and got it imported. AMAZING <3 Complicated, and a little weird at first but amazing.

  • I just rented it from Blockbuster.

  • Bonjour , Je cherche le titre de la B.O de avalon .

    Merci

  • what a great movie, though I am still not quite sure of how it is supposed to end....xDDD

  • Mamoru Oshii Should Direct the new Metal Gear Solid Movie Anyone Agree??

  • @TheApolloChannel holly crap yes. you should make that happen.

  • @TheApolloChannel lol off course I agree... I would love Hideo kojima but it would be a 20 hours movie...

  • @TheApolloChannel pity there is no new metal gear solid movie?

  • @TheApolloChannel That would be great!

  • Isn't it like this girl and several different ppl go into a virtual reality game and hunt down for these ghost girls, right? Some1 reply plz.

  • not really, is much more complicated and complex than that. Watch it :)

  • That's the description of the game in the movie, not the plot.

  • Music ?

  • artist is Kenji Kawai i think
