i saw this movie two week ago at the festival des nouvelles image du japon in paris . though i wasn not expect much from it and i have to say i have be disappoint just like many people in the audience . if i want to sum up how i felt and i would say i have be compare it to princess mononoke and nausicaa from the beginning to the end . of course it silly . but i couldn not help it . the story be quite different and but the world picture be very much alike . and from this point of view and a tree of palme definitely can not stand the comparison with miyazaki masterworks . even if it quite good technically and boredom remains . in the end it complete lack of originality make me advise you not to care to watch it . i rat it negative ( a bit harsh and i guess it deserve 3 or 4 ) .
