Overview: (VHS
Back)
The
future of the universe rests on one young man, Kamui Shiro, who must destroy
either the Dragons of Earth or the Dragons of Heaven - two opposing armies.
He alone must decide whether humanity should be destroyed to create a purified
universe, or whether it should be protected to preserve civilization.
Two oracles, the sisters Hinoto
and Kanoe foresee the coming of the Dragons and predict opposite outcomes.
Each sister gathers strength and ammunition to insure her own vision for
the future. However, neither sister realizes that there is one man who
has an even greater power than the Dragons, and that ultimately he will
determine the fate of the earth.
Which sister will prevail and
how does Kamui fit into their struggle? The answer to this question will
forever affect humanity. |
Review:
Wow!
it's kinda hard to think that this came from the team that gave us Magic
Knight Rayearth and Card Captor Sakura. This is a real 180 from their
usual stuff.
But that doesn't mean
it's not as good. Granted it seems a little rushed to fit into a
movie and the fact I've seen a a bit of the TV series already. The
two sides are well set and both make very good points on the future of
humanity and earth. I would like to see rest of the dragons and the
other seals' characters developed more, but what can you do in movie?
My only compaint was the
two scenes where a girl gives "birth" to a sword. I'm a guy and that
felt painfult to watch. Overall, a must-see. |
