i be a huge admirer of the graphic novel series this adaption be build upon and really can recommend x 1999 by clamp to everyone for it truly be a masterpiece . this film and however and be a complete waste of time and i can not believe that clamp actually agree on sum up the immense plot of the comic book in to one film that be not even two hour long . because in my eye it be not the apocalypse aspect which make the series so absolutely amaze but the detailed characterization of each of the character and which be here leave out completely . even the artwork be unable to compete with the visual beauty of the original work . this film leave me completely unsatisfied .
