Appleseed Ex-Machina (2008)

Set in the future, the world has been devastated by World War III. The remaining governments of the earth have pulled together and constructed cities enclosed from the outside wastelands. Rescue forces from Olympus make regular trips to the outside wastelands to try to recover the remaining humans that are still alive. Deunan Nat is one of those individuals, a feisty sexy blond female soldier. After she is rescued, and brought back to Olympus, she discovers that her ex-parter Briareous (once thought dead), was rescued himself half dead, and rebuilt as a cyborg. Through her introduction to Olmpian society, she discovers that most of the citie's population are bio-droids (look exactly like humans) but are created to operate in Olmpus as shiny happy people from birth.

Not sure what prompted another CGI Appleseed cinematic release, since the 2004 one bombed to bargin bins after maing $350,000 at the Japanese box office.

I think the CGI looks the same as the last one, but don't quote me on that.

This time there's this corporation that has put brain controllers in this ear clip on consumer device that is a phone, internet, MP3 in one type thing. In the end Deunan and Briareous have to destroy the core thing controlling the technolodgy (that is this ridiculeous H.R. Giger looking cyborg black widow diva) to stop it taking over the entire population of Olympus. Mediocre, err... looks great, story and character development is as crap as the previous.

My rating: 4.5/10
