John A 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review peter m This was a surprise to me, such a beautiful movie with the best graphics i have ever seen. Complex and detailed story, but it was clealry not finished correctly. Apart from this, well worth watching. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing special effects and visuals Loved the storyline and characters I hope they are planning a second movie as it left us wanting more Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
