| Blame! The Movie : Review |
-------------------------------------

Blame! The Movie is an Netflix Original animated by Polygon Studio which is adapted from the hit manga of the same name , written by Tsutomu Nihei.
The movie is about a dystopian , post-apocalyptic , Sci-Fi world and even though I haven't read the manga , I went into the movie pretty hyped up having heard great things about the manga. Did I like the move ? In a way , yes. But was it any good or worth your time ? Let's find out shall we ?

Story - 6
-----------

Okay , the start of the movie was.., Epic!
The world looked and felt atmospheric , dark and it was great. within the first few minutes , we get to see people's struggles , desperation to survive. I got immediately interested in world , which seemed to be the main selling point of the show. But as the series movie progressed , I felt more and more disappointed as it failed to explain any of the concepts of the world properly. There was this talk of a netsphere , net terminal gene and all this gibberish which immediately caught my interest but didn't put much effort into explaining any of them. And when it reached the ending , everything became even more convoluted and left me wondering "What the fuck just happened? " , and not in a good way like Evangelion series.

Art - 9

THANK YOU POLYGON !!
My previous experience with Polygon was a series called Knights of Sidonia , which was also a Netflix original written by the same author. And that particular series had one of the worst Artworks I've ever come to pass.
But this time it's different , The movie looked stunning from start to end. Everything from the color palette , lightning and special effects truly captured the feeling of a dark and desperate world.
Character models looked and was animated great ! battles scenes truly looked epic and smooth with vibrant reds and blues.
So in the Art and Animation department , Polygon really hit it out of the park with this one.

Sound - 7
-------------

Music for the series was composed by Yugo Kanno and he did a great job with it.
Everything blended in with the atmosphere quite nicely and specially Killy's Soundtrack sounded great. All the sound effects with the battle scenes were on point and sounded good. To cap it off I found no fault with the voice acting either.
In short this had a good soundtrack , it could have been better but it's lived up to my expectations.

Characters - 5
------------------

Characters of this movie suffered the same fate as the World of the movie did.
They immediately caught my attention , but then was left without exploration or depth. Worst part of it was even the main character Killy was treated the same way. Even after finishing watching the movie , I had no idea who Killy was. All the information that was given to us was that his name is Killy , He got a really cool gun and he might be the last hope for humanity. That's it.
The movie didn't really do enough to care about most of the side characters except for a few. It felt like they ran out of time to give the characters much depth.

Enjoyment and Overall Experience - 5
-----------------------------------------------

I didn't hate the movie , I loved the atmosphere and visuals of it.
I would be really happy if we get a squeal to this and explore the world and characters more , and get answers to all the questions that left unanswered.
So all in all , it was a movie that didn't give enough but left me wanting more.
Do I recommend it ? If we will have good squeals to this movie that builds on this world and characters that was presented in this movie , Then yes.
If not , then no , It wasn't a good stand alone movie.
