John A @ExcessMale 04/20/2023 Perhaps the only Oshii film (as of now) that proves to be difficult to follow and comprehend. 'Garm Wars' suffers in plot but generates intrigue on every other level. See more 01/08/2021 If you like things like large scale anime, then this movie is for you. thought understanding the different factions in the movie can be difficult.

Complex and detailed story, but it was clealry not finished correctly. Apart from this, well worth watching. See more 10/14/2017 A tad too cerebral, but still intense. CGI extensive but essential to plot, as is whiz, bang tech. Have zero expectations & you'll be pleasantly delighted. See more 01/15/2017 Amazing special effects and visuals Loved the storyline and characters I hope they are planning a second movie as it left us wanting more See more 12/19/2016 This could have been a classic. It had all the ingredients. A director who knows how to create beauty. A CG staff approaching sheer genius. Kenji Kawai's soul-searing music and a pretty good cast, but with little in the way of an intelligible story-line, the three main actors, Lance Henricksen - "Wydd", Melanie St.Pierre - "Kara23" (Assassin's Creed, Barney's Version) and Kevin Durand - "Skellig"(from Dark Angel's "Joshua" to "Harbard" in Vikings on TV and a pretty impressive film career, which saw him in 5 roles in 2014 alone), do a reasonable job. They are far more believable than the story itself. Where Garm Wars shines is in its quirky stuff, like the use of a Basset Hound as some kind of revered being that chooses to "bless" certain folk - an act which for some reason is respected by mortal enemies. This inexplicable plot-item is typical of the whole film. It is a known part of cinematic wisdom not to underestimate the ability of one's audience to grasp what's going on - nobody likes to be condescended to - but to entrust one's audience with ESP is a mite over-reaching. All that being said, me, I'm a sucker for Sci-Fi and particularly for human actors alongside incredible CG art and the breathtaking landscapes, from smoking wastelands to misty forests, superbly concieved war machinery that The Pentagon and any Steam-punk warlord would die for (pun intended) still manage to make this movie very watchable. With the story unfinished, my hope is that a sequel will iron out the deficiencies of its debut effort which could so nearly have been a masterpiece. See more Read all reviews
