The semiotic noise of this juiced-up virtual exhibit doesn't exactly ask to be discerned. Go to Full Review

When Casshern is tapping into a sense of awe, it most fully earns the somewhat exhausting world-building it takes to get there. Go to Full Review

Surprisingly bittersweet and contemplative, and hence registers more strongly than a mere sensory spectacle. Go to Full Review

Ryan Cracknell Movie Views Oct 22, 2007
Like the similarly stylized Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and, to a certain extent, 300, Casshern is more about visuals than story. It's a CG playground where cartoon and live action collide. Go to Full Review

Hermione P Jul 25, 2017 I watched this film back when it came out. I was so excited I bought a port from Japan and had to change the region code on my DVD Player. This movie is stunning in so many ways. The graphics may not hold up as well and I would have liked but the visuals and story are amazing. This is 1 of 2 films that encouraged me to go to college for film. The story always has me sitting there during the credits in deep contemplation. It's deep and worth it. See more
