This movie disappointed me. A very good film, with amazing animation, but a lackluster plot that starts off confusing, doesn't explain itself, and then when you think you finally have an idea of what is going on, the plot's all like, FUCK YOU, and the movie ends and you're left to try to piece together what you just saw.

Although the plot is a bit too complex at times, the result is really satisfying. The animation, music, and style is incredible as well.

An ambitious movie with some spectacular visuals, but it is let down by trying to be too deep and psychological, while it lacks in emotional impact by not giving any background or motivation to its characters. It's hard to take the story seriously when it becomes apparent that anywhere, anytime could be a dream, anything can happen within these dreams, and anyone can be impacted. Aesthetically it was a mish-mash of styles, and less pleasing than even the flamboyant mess of Ghost In The Shell 2.

An above-average plot spiced up by beautiful visuals and sound. Some parts are mildly anime-cliched but they don't detract from the whole.Certainly well above average for an anime movie.

hilarious and trippy at times. quasi-harvey birdman

Pretty animation and a some conceptually memorable scenes doesn't save this story from being your average Manga hokum, complete with a display of supernatural powers and gratuitous nudity. References to the monkey king will get a movie everywhere, but on the other hand the meta-talk about movies was borderline unbearable.

I spent the entire movie just trying to get past the "huh?" phase. Strangeness, parts just kinda unsettling. o_0

first anime I've ever watched a second time... and I watched this over and over and over again...

Pretty average overall, but there are some exhilarating moments.

I normally don't like anime but this film was an exception. Total mind rape.
