Jim F I liked the original Will Smith movie for its visuals. This looks awful! All computer generated really cheaply. And it's all in something like 12 or 16 frames per second so the whole thing is incredibly choppy. The minimum for cinema is 24 to be watchable. Hand drawn animations usually find ways to reduce the number of frames they have to draw and it can look good when done well - but in a computer animation like this it just looks nasty and makes the whole thing even worse.

Fantastic animation style with a good soundtrack added to a lack luster storyline. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This anime movie set in the Bright universe was terrible. I hated the art style (which looked very stiff outside of action sequences and even then, it still has a clunky feel to it despite some badass moments), the Japanese voice-acting sucked (no comment on the English dub. Sorry, Shang-Chi), the music is...really something and the story is a generic adventure narrative about an odd-couple friendship travelling to a utopia (the elf girl does give off Ice Age vibes, doesn't she? I hate her and her whiny damsel-in-distress nature). There are some okay quiet moments and some cool moments during fights but Samurai Soul wasn't quite what I had in mind for the return to this universe. If they want to make an anthology film series, that's nice but I hope Netflix learns their lesson from what they did wrong in this movie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member BRIGHT SAMURAI SOUL is a solid fantasy action addition to the Bright universe. The story is pretty grounded for having fantastic elements and all-powerful magic. The animation style is 3D generated with clearly defined lines. The flaws in this feature are the lack of character depth. The human and orc motivations are fairly well defined but as with the original Bright movie, they seemed to forget the elf. We understand that she's an elf who can wield powerful magic but otherwise, we don't really get to see who she is as a character. I'd be interested in more Bright movies, animated or live, just to see what more is in that world.
