The Film Society featured the movie Akira, a Japanese anime science fiction movie from 1988. It takes place in Tokyo, 2019, and stars Mitsuo Iwata, Nozomu Sasaki, and Mami Koyama.
In this movie, Tetsuo Shima is in a biker gang and was injured in an accident. He was admitted to a private hospital and learned about superhuman powers he possesses. While there, he went crazy and began attacking people. At seeing what he had become, his friend Shōtarō Kaneda set out to stop him. Three also superhuman powered kids named Kiyoko, Takashi, and Masaru try to stop Tetsuo before his powers consume him and he becomes unstoppable.
One great thing about this movie is that the story is very deep and complex. It started slow, but gradually increased and gave way to a bunch of awesome action. Another great thing about this movie is that it looks very nice, with some of the best animation I’ve ever seen.
This is the first anime movie that I have seen and I am likely to watch more in the future. I really love the movie, and it’s very interesting and exciting down to the final scene, and I would definitely recommend it to people who like anime, action, or complex stories. Due to all these factors, I give this movie an 8/10.
