Freedom from oppression and the power of Love - what more can you ask for?.......2007-07-03

As an adult who dislikes both anime and Techno music, I was vastly surprised by Interstella 5555. I viewed the first few videos on a popular video-sharing website, almost by accident. By the time I got through with installment 4 ["Digital Love"], I was completely and totally HOOKED. "OMG he CRASHED, oh no!... what now?!" One of the things that sets this DVD apart is how much and how quickly it makes you care about the characters. When was the last time you cared what happened to a character in a music video? I was doomed; I simply had to find out what happened, not to mention I wanted to see it in a more appropriate format, so I bought my own copy.

This saga of a kidnapped alien pop/rock band and the fan trying desperately to rescue them, no matter the cost to himself is a beautifully-done DVD with images that you will not quickly forget, people you will love and music that will stay in your head for days - if not weeks, and in this case, that is a positive thing. I think "brilliant" is not too strong a word for this project... and remember, that's coming from someone who has always hated anime. Highly recommended.

Awesome Movie (whether you're a fan or not).......2007-06-27

This movie rocks. It's basically an animated movie, somewhat in the American style of Anime (but not Animation, i.e. cartoons). The unique point is the fact the whole movie is pretty much synced up with Daft Punk's Discovery album which in itself is pretty awesome. There are no voices, the whole story tells itself visually and with the music. I love it, I've watched it many times myself, and my children who are 10 months, 3, and 4 (boy, girl, boy) also love it, whenever I play it on my pc or tv, my kids come running, they stop screaming, stop running around, stop hitting each other, and will just stand or sit, pretty much memorized and watch the entire movie that way. There are just so many vibrant colors and the music again, is great.

As a fan of both Anime and Daft Punk this item is just about as good as it gets. At first it seems like a beautiful way to present a musical album, a nice screensaver as it were. However after watching this a few times and really embracing the story and relating the scenes to the lyrics or melody, Interstella 5555 becomes quite a moving experience. You will travel through a range of emotions with each song, uplifted and happy with "One More Time" to quiet and emotional with "Something About Us". My favourite track is "Face To Face", and it always tugs at my heart-strings towards the end.

Beautiful picture. I rate it alongside "The Castle of Cagliostro" as my all time favourite Anime films.

Just what you should expect...that's a good thing.......2007-06-24

The movie is basically just a backdrop to the album 'Discovery' from Daft Punk. More specifically it would be imagining the reversal of creating a soundtrack around a movie, and instead creating a movie around an album. It is an interesting concept, and it works very well in this instance.
If you are a fan of Daft Punk it is a bit of a no-brainer...if however you are looking for a deep tranquil film concerning the problems of today's society mired in soul searching agony...well keep looking. This is entertainment!

great movie.......2007-06-11
