I don't understand the other critiques I mean to dislike an anime, ok, but saying it's because of the lack of action, no! This movie is NOT a war movie, it may seem like it because the central part of the movie is on a independant flight company who is preparing for war, but the story is way deeper than that it's about the main pilote and nothing else, it's about human condition (in this movie this pilote isn't a normal being), the story is very complexe, and the big thing that might be weird to you is that you don't know what you're looking at until the end we're everything makes sens. Yes the whole time I watch this movie I was kind of lost because I didn't know what was the story but that makes the ambiance of the movie strong ! You may not like it but don't say that it's because it lacks of action :) (show less)
