Audience Member This is a very strange surreal CG experimental anime feature. What at the time when it first came out in 2000 probably looked great now looks badly dated and the storyline is confusing. Against other CG movies such as Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within you can see that this one is not so good visually but then again FF did have a substantial bigger budget than this movie. The plot isn't straightforward at all and I think what transpires in this movie is left to the interpretation of the viewer. I'm just guessing that it's supposed to be all about what is the meaning and purpose of being alive and also death. I was expecting some kind of a sci-fi aspect to this story but that premise was quickly kicked out and it was more ecchi than anything else..........and even that was quite tame. The dolls themselves look great but they look like they've been lifted out of an old computer game. I think the director lost a big opportunity to give us a good interesting story and what we got instead was this poor effort which made me scratch my head. It's slow and plodding. It lacks any excitement and there's nothing to hook you in. You get bored quickly watching it. The CG anime doesn't even look attractive at all and the background doesn't help as it's constantly dark and gloomy. I can't really recommend this at all as the incoherent storyline makes it pretty hard going.

If you can make some kind of sense out of the last minutes of Akira or the last two episodes of Evangelion you can make sense of Malice. Not the greatest script in the world but it's got mood like nothing else I've ever seen. If you like the genre it's worth checking out.[/font] Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
