Voices of A Distant Star

Posted by RPGmastar - November 2nd, 2009


Ok, I'm sorry, I know I said I would review Street Fighter Alpha and II V, but I gotta talk about this 30 minutes anime movie DVD I got a while back.

Voices of A Distant Star is a animated movie by the brilliant Makoto Shinkai who also did 5 Centimeters Per Second, which is another great film.

The plot revolves around 2 teen lovers who decide to join a military group. Only the girl is accepted and goes off to space as a pilot to a Mech. Despite the long distance, the two lovers stay connected through email and text messages. The farther away they are the longer the messages takes to arrive. Another thing is that due to being in space the girl ages much slower then those on Earth. Eventually it gets to the point where when the girl sends her boyfriend a birthday text, he gets it years after it was sent and he is no longer a teenager but an adult while the girl is still the same age as when she left.

Now I have to admit, I cried. It was a very emotional short movie that captures your emotions.

The Soundtrack was simply amazing and managed to keep the feelings of the film and the animation was top notch. The plot was awesome for what it was designed for. It doesn't really explain why there's a war against aliens in space and other things but it's not suppose to. It was ment to focus on the relationship of the two main characters and it fulfills that role perfectly in my opinion.

Go see this film and while you're at it, go see 5cm Per Second too, both films are fucking amazing. Makoto Shinkai is a great storyteller.

Did I mention the Mech designs are fucking awesome?
