A retro science-fiction epic set in Victorian England, Steamboy features an inventor prodigy named Ray Steam who receives a mysterious metal ball containing a new form of energy capable of powering an entire nation. This young boy must use it to fight evil, redeem his family, and save London from destruction. The lush Victorian interiors and the elegance of the era's mechanical design allows Otomo to create dazzling visual backgrounds and machines for this film. With more than 180,000 drawing and 400 CG cuts, Steamboy is sure to be one of the most elaborate animated features of 2004.
Pretty good story, very nice imagery, my 4-year old son is a trainboy and he liked it (if a bit bored by all the dialog), pretty long I recall, i've watched it in pieces and fast forwareded to all the action for my son. One thing -- lots of "dark" scenes as in browns and blacks in shadow and it all kinda blurs together -- lose a lot of detail -- and we had display cranked up watchin it at night in bed.
I've never heard the first line cause it starts up in Japanese and takes me a second to toggle over to English, but WOW -- IT'S PICARD! (Patrick Stewart!)
