I thought it was a pretty good dystopian future/cyborg story. I think people think it’s live-action anime, which is deceptive. It really isn’t. It’s just basically like “Avatar“. Live actors with (in this case one solo) CGI character. I saw it in 3D, which probably helped it to make her look more realistic, but I don’t think it would be a problem in 2D. People are making a big deal about the giant eyes, but she’s not supposed to be a real person. She’s a cyborg with a human brain inside. So the big eye thing really didn’t bother me at all. People are also picking on the hokey dialogue and the love story, but it kind of needs the love story; without her humanity, it would just be another typical cyborg robot thing. If you remotely liked films like “Elysium” or “Ghost In The Shell” then this is better IMO.
