Late R The third movie in the trilogy and the only one not directed by Mamoru Oshii, 'Patlabor WXIII' is significantly worse than its predecessors. The animation is as nice to look at as ever, but there is no denying that there's an unfortunate lack of either Mech action, which characterised the first instalment, or philosophical depth, which characterised the second one; instead, they went with a horror/mystery sort of approach. That, in itself, isn't a bad thing at all if it weren't for the fact that the handling of the mystery, and therefore the majority of the film, was rather botched and lacked any suspense. What you're left with is something that is neither particularly good, nor particularly bad. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/17 Full Review Audience Member A side sequel to a great series , with new spin , the main cast takes a back seat , as two detectives uncover the secrets of code "wasted 13 " the design and anmation are top notch , beautiful score to top that . the story and the characters are just shy of the punch that Mamoru oshii -Director of the first two patlabor films had delivered . Still a great bruting film . Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an interesting anime movie set in the Patlabor universe but it just didn't do that much for me. It kept me entertained but I don't think I'd want to watch it again. The animation is really good and so is the soundtrack. The storyline is intriguing. I think most Patlabor fans will be disappointed more than anything after seeing this. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not really a sequel to the previous two movies. This movie should not have been associated with the Patlabor franchise as they only appeared a few times during the movie. With that knowledge, I think that’s why this movie suffered. I was expecting more of the same but got something totally different.
