Overall, A fan or anyone familiar with their works would expect something thought-provoking out of the movie. They were trying to milk out a juice I call "character's thoughts" especially right at the end, which I felt was still poorly executed There seemed to be a critical lack of interaction of events with each other, And this in my opinion was more serious an issue than the lack of interaction between characters because you need events to correlate with each other well to make difficult concepts in sci-fi materials approachable to the audience. The lack of dialogue between the characters was not the problem, but I expected something more systematic instead of jumping through events as if they had no significance to the bigger picture. Kenji Kawai's scores this time around had no new tune to them, almost sounded like recycled from his own previous works. However this movie felt to me like these guys went back to school, or maybe they were not trying to surpass their previous works. You also have Kenji Kawai, who produced some of the best soundtrack ever heard in sci-fi series. This was especially so given his experiences in bringing out hidden "human" values through cyborgs in his GITS series. You have Kenji Kamiyama, who is understandably the perfect guy for this movie, having directed some well-known works like Eden of the East. So He gave unto man an opportunity to atone for his misdeeds and flame and smoke and the roar of a lion descended upon earth and shattered the many towers to dust.When I glanced through the names of the production team behind this movie, I honestly expected a lot out of it. Scattering across the land and laying it to waste, man turned a deaf ear to His Voice. But those who dwelt upon the land, through vanity, cunning and greed, attempted to build a multitude of towers whose tops reached unto heaven, and accumulated great wealth on earth. "In the beginning was the Voice, and the word was Him and all obeyed His word in great awe. Decades later, the nine cyborgs seem to be untouched by time, but they live in a world where "justice" has as many nuances as the number of people living on the planet. The nine cyborgs rebel and start to fight against their creators in the name of justice and world peace. Nine regular humans from different parts of the world are abducted and transformed into cyborgs with astounding powers for the purpose of being used as weapons.
