Based on Masamune Shirow's acclaimed manga, APPLESEED is a haunting and thrilling vision of an apocalyptic future in which human life is slowly being controlled by a new breed of Biodroids, creatures that are half android, half man. In this future, the remnants of the world's governments create a city named Olympus near the Canary Islands designed to be a utopia. However, this utopia is controlled by the Biodroids, and soon the human population have had enough. Rallying together a band of terrorists, the humans decide that they must destroy Gaia, the computer that runs Olympus, thereby freeing themselves and delivering a fatal blow to the reeling superpowers.

Visually, it's fantastic, but storywise, it's a messy, shallow piece of fluff that feels half cocked.
