Tekkon Kinkreet

Monday, December 17, 2007 » movies thought

I watched Tekkon Kinkreet recently and I'm trying to decide whether it was GREAT, or just good. The animation and characters were well-done, but the plot is what I'm caught on. The ending gets extremely Japanese. Actually, there's a lot of Japanese-ness going on the entire time, but during the ending especially.

The thing that's tricked me into thinking it's great is the fantastic soundtrack, by English electronic duo Plaid. It's a weird electronic/jazz/Asian mix, and a lot of it actually reminds me of Edward Shearmur's score for K-PAX. Anyway, I've probably listened to it at least once a day for the last week so I can't avoid thinking that it's causing some bias. I may just have to get the movie again.
