this very short film revolves around the life & dreams of a robot built to serve as a war machine. while it follows it's orders, it has dreams for more.
the CGI is on the low end side and the narration is subtitled Japanese, but succeeds as an artistic statement. it's hard to write 10 lines about a story that ends in the time it takes to think up & type just a couple, but hopefully this will help anyone, particularly on dialup, decide whether or not to watch it.
it reminds me a lot of the type of abstract CGI experiments one would see before the technology took off and began being used regularly in movies. if you want to see a quick piece of sci-fi poetry more than a full story, this short is OK if not anything special. the style & not just the narration, is very Japanese. fans of that culture & anime will like it more than those who only like Hollywood fare.
