This is outstanding animation and - when it was released on DVD - some of the best 5.1surround sound I had heard on a DVD. The problems were that (1) the characters were not ones you could care about and (2) the film is too long. Anything over 100 minutes generally is too long for an animated film, in my opinion. They are better around 80 minutes in length.
It's not boring; the visuals and sound alone are state-of-the-art but it was just an uninvolving, unlikeable story for me. After awhile it was hard to care for anyone and I mainly watched to admire the art work.
It's an adult (some swearing, but mild) sci-fi film with a lot of occult nonsense (spirits, ghosts and the like) thrown in the mix. As usual, the military man is the villain.
This animation was made to look life-like and it mostly succeeded. It almost was eerie at first, hearing the voices of Donald Sutherland, James Woods, Steve Buscemi and Alec Baldwin but see other human-like faces. It didn't seem to fit.
