Awesome animation, awesome music and entertaining but underdeveloped characters. Should only be avoided if you watch movies for the plot only.

That was one hell of a Ride! Pun intended!

Amazing movie, and an equally amazing dub to match.
And star studded, I think I heard every Bleach character in there somewhere, except Johnny Bosch.

The animation is simply stunning, pure eye candy.
The only problem is I got trigger happy on $15 steal from Wal-Mart on this, and now I solely regret not waiting and shelling out for the BD. I may just have to double dip on this one, it really should be watched in pure HD!

All the characters/character designs are fantastic, especially JP and Sonashee.
And we get to see Sonashee's Oppai!! :P

The story was a fast-paced kick in the teeth. Virtually non-stop from beginning to end.

10/10 Best anime movie I've seen since Tekkonkinkreet!
Will be rewatching thousands of times!

Urahara Out!!

This movie blew my mind to shit. And it felt amazing. Plot was convoluted and weird, but my enjoyment was like 35 / 10.


Exactly. The fuck is wrong with people?
This is MAL: OMG WTF I EXPECTED LEGEND OF THE GALACTIC HEROES MEETS MONSTER I'M DISAPPOINT =(


Instead, we get:

-100% hand-drawn art(even the vehicles, machines, and big monsters!)
-cool guys; sexy and hot chicks
-an amazing visual treat with a million things happening at once on each frame HOLY SHIT THAT ANIMATION(please watch in high definition!)
-Sonoshee's tits
-an anime movie made for a western audience this time around with no loli or moe girls to speak of anywhere
-decent story and over-the-top characters(come on, how could you not like JP and Sonoshee and their budding romance?)

This whole movie was a rare event, a nostalgic reminder of what anime used to be like, and unfortunately we'll never get to see another one like it in the future.

I remember seeing the trailer for this and another similar movie quite a while ago called Tailblazers or something like that and was curious how Redline turned out.

Powerful visuals and a great soundtrack, for a movie it had a nice variety of characters and you really felt the intensity of the race especially that final stretch. I don't mind cliche characters and plot in this case but they could have done a little bit better with the ending, way too abrupt.

Still a fantastic movie to show off though. Also I may catch this on a second watch but that mysterious pimp rider JP had flashbacks about...was his name ever mentioned?

MACHINE HEAD! theme ftw.

Well said, good sir, well said. No matter what people say, it was hell of an enjoyable 2 hours.

But ugh.. That ending..

Story = There's a race, people want to win it.

Simple as that, it doesn't subtract from a crazy good movie. So the giant monsters fought, do we care about the outcome? They aren't essential to the plot. This film was enjoyable the whole way through, with what I consider a retro sci-fi plot and amazing animation. The characters aren't deep, but they don't have to be. Oh, and the OST was godly.

freaking awesome. I've watched many times.
Both japanese and english dub are nice, but I prefer english.
Takuya Kimura and Tadanobu Asano are not as good as Aoi Yuu.
I can't hear their voice clearly sometimes.

Do you guys know what JP stands for?
It's his real name, "Joshua Punkhead."
Punkhead... lol

Heavy Metal meets Speed Racer meets Gurren Laggan meets

A wonderful blend of awesome to create a fucking amazing.
No convoluted plot to get in the way of the real meat and bones.
The animation and the action.

Plots simple enough to carry the viewer. And that's the point of a plot.
Just because it's not LotGH doesn't mean the plot is bad. Time and place.

Plot gives us a reason why we have bitches wanting to race.
Why we have bitches not wanting the race to happen.
And thats about all they needed.

As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

I think the last five minutes of this movie was was one long series of explosions. It's a fun little movie but there are so many problems with the plot. It's pretty obvious the story went through a series of rewrites with emphasis on various aspects of the plot constantly changing. The result is there are several subplots that go absolutely nowhere and some of these subplots had me more interested than the main plot of the anime which was actually pretty dry and basic.

Still overall I did enjoy the movie. It had a cool style and very nice animation. Some of the characters were kind of cool in a silly way as well. I just wish the plot had been tighter and that they either cut the unfinished subplots or give then a little resolution. I gave it a pretty low 7 out of 10 more like a 6.5.

Had it since day one but somehow avoided watching it. Was almost turned off by the anthropomorphic designs, but well all the humanoid characters were interesting and creative, especially the robotic character. I thought the plot presented did the movie justice as it wasn't too deep and overly ornate but detailed enough to get me to care for Rukia, I mean Sonoshee, and for Sweet JP, Frisbee, and his mechanic. Jiraiya, I mean, the president plotline was interesting too even if really basic.

I liked the characters and all that many of them entailed. So many decent ones amongst the factions, like Superboins were funny, as well as Miki & Todoroki, the space cop, sciencey dude with Roboworld, president, and the military commander there.

Criticisms would be the pointless fanservice moment
, no explanation of how people were bleeding spontaneously at times, the
, awkward yet cool lack of obeying the rules of physics, and on the ending
.

I also liked the commentary during the races and the introduction of each of the participants in their commercial skits. I also loved hearing so many familiar voices, Rukia from Bleach, Jiraiya, Gaara, and Pakkun from Naruto.

8/10.

Sometimes, watching something mindless for the sheer entertainment value of it can be therapeutic. The thing is, this movie fills that criteria and at the same time presents a very simple and entertaining story (oh and so ridiculously funny).

Thrilling and full of adrenaline, Redline proved to be really enjoyable with its refreshing art style and fantastic animation.

This movie reminded me of TTGL in some aspects.

The story knows its place and doesn't try to overstep its bounds (as opposed to certain other over-the-top anime, like Code Geass). I can't fault it for failing something it didn't try to do.

Some insanely gorgeous animation, but it felt like it was missing something. An epilogue? And those bio weapons were really not needed.

love the series :D

definitely one of the most under rated films ever.

the animation is superb, one of the best this generation.

OST is soo addicting!!!!

JP looks ace!!

kinda wish he was named Travis since he look like Travis Touchdown in No More Heroes or Garcia Hotspur in Shadows of the Damned XD

i freaking love the ladies here.

Sonoshee is one of the sexiest anime characters ever!!!!!

i love her look when she's wearing those green shades :)

soo badass!!!!!

the fanservice when she's talking her profile, hmm boosoms :D

Boiboi and Bosbos are sexy as well!!

but i prefer Sonoshee!!!!

the only thing i didn't like is they added that monster experiment thing.

i mean wtf?!?! they have un-awaken fetus lying underground, and a general too has another experiment.

it kinda ruin the racing because everyone was force to stop and let the monster be killed before resuming the race.

i also thought JP was voiced by Kiuchi, Hidenobu, VA of Hei Darker than Black series.

he kinda sounded like him to be honest.

very surprising they used popular actors.

they should hire Aoi, Yuu with more VA roles :)

amazing stuff, really love the animation and pacing of the film

the rush you feel as they race all the way!!

even at the end i was rooting for both JP and Sonoshee!!!

winning the Redline and getting the girl you love at the end has never been so sweet :)

i n fact, i wonder why there aren't alot of racing anime's with these kind of rush!!

still wish it was an anime series, to see how JP and Sonoshee relationship grew.

they could make the anime where JP wins some and lose some, but it gets him stronger and motivated to win Redline.

wish Koike, Takeshi has more films or anime's to direct.

would love to see more of his style!!!

One of the best movies I've seen in terms of animation and quality but everything else about it... ehhhh. The action pretty much only consisted of OVER 9000 and hype all over the place that it just got boring eventually. Also, it didn't have much of a story or a plot and the characters were pretty flat. The only thing that kept me from dropping this halfway were the visuals.
