wheelman Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Sorry incorrect title it's Steamboy. Old school style drawlings. Excellent surround sounds. If your a bass junkie you will enjoy this movie. I started to watch it with a yawn, and then really got into it. Lots of booms and bangs. Not a bad story either. Full Synopsis Katsuhiro Otomo, director of the groundbreaking anime feature Akira, returns with this visually striking fusion of the past and the future. It's 1866 in London, and gadget-happy Ray Steam receives a mysterious package from his grandfather -- a tiny ball that turns out to be a miniature super-powered steam engine whose power is greater than that of its largest counterparts. As it happens, Ray's gift is regarded either as a technological marvel or a threat to the safety of the world depending on whom you ask, and a group of agents from the sinister but powerful O'Hara Foundation (who fall into the latter category) know about the tiny engine, and are determined to get it. Ray's father, Eddie, has fallen under the sway of the O'Hara Foundation, and tips them off when he learns that Ray is hiding the engine at one of the pavilions of the Great Exhibition that is the toast of the city. But Ray finds he's not the only one with the wonder engines -- the entire exhibition is being powered by a handful of them, and the O'Hara group is using its pavilion hall-cum-battle fortress to seize the rest. Patrick Stewart, Alfred Molina, and Anna Paquin are among the actors who contributed their voices to the English-language version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
