Summary: The anime fantasy opus Origin: Spirits of the Past commences with a backstory prologue set in an ancient era, when the moon awakened the forest and unleashed a terrible, destructive beast upon the Earth. As the story proper opens, the landscape of the world has changed immeasurably. Mankind is divided into two warring factions: one that seeks a peaceful, harmonious balance with the forest, and another that wishes to dominate and control it. (All Movie Guide)

Story wasnt as great, but im such an postapocalyptic junkie, that i couldnt bring myself not to like the film. Looked so good, worldbuilding was so good, that sucky characters and dull plot couldnt ruin it :)

Nice animation, but the story, inspired by early studio Ghibli films is bland and contrived. Characters are pretty dull too. Unlike movies by Miyazaki, where main characters are children too, this one is hardly accessible for adults.

A beautiful and at times stunning mix of 2D animation and 3D effects that ultimately is more style then substance.While the premise of this film is interesting it is hardly developed at all.The characters are paper thin and fleshed out just a little past there stereotypical roles.The backstory is nearly none existent.This could be a quality anime series if they address the problems I mentioned but as a movie it's just an average film that I found disappointing.

A solid enough eco-fable. It looks great (and the opening is fairly awesome), but both the story and the characters feel underdeveloped and bland. Also: "TOOOOOLLLLAAAAAAAA!!!!".

Tries to much. But it's still an entertaining flick.

Great score, outstanding animations..but the story is too random.couldn´t get into that conflict between humanity and nature...seen that theme much better in miyazaki´s "Castle in the Sky" !

Beautiful music and animation. The story, however, could use some work to match the rest of the movie.

Nicely painted, but the story and the characters are kind of crude.

Pretty interesting. A bit too in-your-face about environmentalism.

Tries to do too much in too little time. Great visuals and sound, a world that is potentially interesting, and characters which could serve for an exciting story. It just doesn't all fit together, and many scenes felt like loose parts awkwardly chained together. Certainly not the worst entry in this genre, but nothing you absolutely have to see either.
