This movie is about fights between American military special forces and japanese AKAAM, which is a foundation organized to protect mysterious relics left from presumably hyper-cultural and hyper-technics being on earth in the past. Here, Noah's Ark is described as a thing which can control weather and evolution on earth.
I read cartoon first and then saw the animation. Animation picked just one of the cartoon stories. However the movie was as good as cartoon. Cartoon AKIRA was absolutely better than the movie. Once you read the AKIRA Cartoon, we will notice how the movie wasn't made responsibly. Katsuhiro Otomo who directed the movie AKIRA was involved in making of Spriggun, but not as Director at this time. Cartoon AKIRA is superb, but when compared as movie, it is far below the movie Spriggun. Spriggun was made of rigid story-telling and had the final, AKIRA was finalized in the middle of the whole story of cartoon though.
You may think some scenes are similar to those of the Fifth element, and I also thought that way even though I considered the firth element as a plagiarism of three animations which are the Transformer (Movie), Heavy Metal and Ghost in the Shell in its essence of story and some scenes (copying scenes may not be a matter 'cause he already told us he did it from Ghost in the Shell, but more unbearable thing is to copy stories and it's my personal opinion.)
Spriggun is worth to see and to keep. The Japanese dubbing actors are good except the one who acted as the child Colonel. When he laughs, everyone will know it's unnatural. Except that laughing, that actor was also good and fit to that character.
Spriggun is well made to cover one part of the cartoon. But if you saw the cartoon, you better not imagine any other things from the movie. It's the same to see the cartoon and the movie. However, I enjoyed it.
