Appleseed Alpha or Appleseed is a computeranimated military science fiction cyberpunk movie. It had an advance digital release on July 15 2014. The movie is set in different series of events so you will not have to watch alternative versions of it which aired a long time ago only to understand it. Appleseed Alpha focuses on the early days of Deunan Knute and Briareos in the 22nd century as they start their journey throughout the ruins of New York in search of the mysterious city called Olympus. Deunan Knute and Briareos are hired by criminals to help them deal with the robots that seem to hinder them a lot. On one of these missions our duo encounters Iris and Olson who are on a mission too. It is later revealed that Iris and Olsons mission is somehow connected with what Deunan and Briareos are looking for. Appleseed Alphas weakest part is of course its storyline. One can write a novel simply by listing things that the storyline of Appleseed Alpha does not explain. And believe me there are many aspects this movie does not touch upon. Indeed it has one of the worst storylines you will ever find but the good thing is that you will not have to watch prequels read manga or look for some additional information only to understand it. No. Appleseed Alpha relies only on a animation and b soundtrack. All in all I would not argue that this movie has perhaps the most stunning animation I have ever seen in my life and that its soundtrack is amazing too. But a better storyline is something this movie does not have. Of course if animation is the only criterion you care about you should definitely watch this movie. If not do avoid it. By the way this movie has superb English dubs.
