This is an excellent science fiction story taking place on an alternate earth. It tells of the ambitions of a young man to become the first person in space. There are many subtle and beautiful details adding to the realism. The voice acting is excellent (even the dubbed version is bearable) and the plot and characterizations are remarkably unique and original in comparison to standard anime.
Even the music is perfect giving an otherworldly feel to the film. This is my favorite anime film of all time because it succeeds in presenting a believable world which is both wonderful in its ingenuity and comforting in its familiarity. I recommend this film to anyone twelve and up who enjoys fantasy and/or science fiction. It bears no comparison to any other movie in existence.
