carlos t Minha opinião: È um filme de Máquina do Tempo. Que envolve o jovem Takakura Soichiro, que desde criança vê seus pais morrerem e ser adotado por um cientista, que tem sua filha Matsushita Riko. Onde Soichiro aprende e desenvolve um robô, mas depois o cientista morre. E a ganância da grande corporação que engana Soichiro e faz ele perder a parte dele na corporação. É trancado em uma capsula criogênica e acorda décadas no futuro. Ele vê a solução voltando ao passado e corrigindo tudo, junto com o androide. Assim ele faz para também salvar Riko. Será que eles conseguirão. Gostei do filme, foi bem elaborado a trama. Apenas em alguns momentos me passou a impressão de Kento na sua interpretação meio superficial. Mas nada que tire prestigio. Um filme meio fora da caixa é legal para podermos diversificar dos filmes tradionais. Que por falta de criatividade acabam até banilizando atores prestigiados. Roteiro: Um bom roteiro que não se perde em tantos detalhes, apenas deixa a desejar o enredo. Vale apena assistir?

And a cat. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member . Heinlein-based films are notorious for their mixed reactions from viewers. I loved the Puppet Masters, and even the first Starship Troopers. The showrunner did bring out some implications of that movies that made Heinlein fans bristle, but let's face it, if you replace ‘species' for ‘race,' then, well, never mind. First, I think Tomoe Kano did an excellent adaptation of the Heinlein novel. Heinlein wrote in 1957 about a future in the 1970s and the 2000s. He did it with his usual mixture of prophecy and imagination. Kano wrote about the past, 1995, and the future, 2135. That has to be kept in mind. I'm going to try to avoid as many spoilers as I can, both about the book and the movie. I am going to use the movie characters' names. The acting was superb Kento Yamazaki as Soichiro, Kaya Kiyohara as Riko, and Naohito Fujiki as PETE-13. Wait. What? Those of you who are just familiar with the book might say. We had a human playing a cat. No, Pete the cat was a major character (I don't know the feline actor's name), but so was a humanoid robot. But that wasn't in the book. Yes, it's an adaptation, but a good one. Tomorowo Taguchi played Tazo perfectly, as did Rin Takanashi as his wife. Who are these people, you ask? Well, the actors are perfect. They portray the emotions of the characters flawlessly. And it is a movie all about emotions. How do you react when your fiancé betrays you and seizes control of your company, excluding you from your life's work and ultimately dumping you into Cold Sleep? How do you react when a mystery arises in your new life—an android mysteriously appears, you are befriended by a middle-aged man, now a head of a Big Tech firm, who insists that you inspired him to be what he is today, although you have no recollection of him? How do you react when the real love of your life is dead? As is your beloved cat? Some of the relationships are better than in the book. I was always a little perplexed how the character in the book, who was Tazo's counterpart, believed Soichiro's counterpart. "You're from the future, huh? All I see is you have a lot of contraband gold wrapped around your belly. I'm calling the police." That is how most people would react. But when Tazo almost runs over Soichiro, and PETE-13 explains that they're from the future, it probably clinched the idea when Tazo found out that PETE was a fully functioning humanoid robot with an unlimited power source, not possible in 1995. Soichiro's relation with Professor Toi is also better than their counterparts in the book. If I recall, Soichiro's counterpart emotionally blackmails the professor into sending him back in time, taking advantage of a broken man's rage. Soichiro befriends Professor Toi, telling him he will fund his project, now that his attempt to use embezzled funds failed. When ask why he believes in him, Soichiro said that it was because he is from the future and was sent back in time by Toi. Yes, the two men relate to each other a little like Christopher Lloyd's and Michael Fox's characters in Back to the Future, but hey, that made it fun. Soichiro's love for Rita is a lot less hebephiliac than his counterpart in the book. It is borderline taboo, but to my mind much less so. There is also karma or the Japanese equivalent at work in the film. I liked that. The film is not for everyone. If you were expecting an anime film, only with live humans, then watch an anime film, not this one. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
