Metropolis (2001 film)

A beautifully animated Japanese movie that takes some elements from the original German film (which I have seen, don't ask why), but tells a different story. I found it to be surprisingly original.

If you watch it and find it perplexing that Kenichi, our young male protagonist, can fall several stories onto razor-sharp debris and emerge without a scratch, or grab onto a metal bar with one hand after a fifty foot drop, I suggest you consider that he is actually a highly advanced cyborg that doesn't know it is a robot, developed by the Japanese as an answer to Tima and smuggled into Metropolis as the detective's nephew. This is something I came up with after watching the movie that makes it much more interesting.

4.5 out of 5 rusty robots.
