The boring life of boring people in a boring war.

Warning: Spoilers
Oh boy, this was boring.

Child pilots fighting meaningless battles. If they wouldn't slaughter themselves for the amusement of the population (who don't seem either amused or interested) they are supposed to be immortal - or at least unaging.

The "actors" stalk around like emotionless zombies, which in all fairness was probably by design. Too bad that this causes viewers to develop zero bonds to any protagonist.

Nothing is happening. Ever.

Don't waste your time viewing this movie. I can sum it up perfectly: The philosophical background is the theory that humans don't appreciate peace unless someone is fighting a war somewhere. Thus corporations stage mock battles with real planes and real deaths to satisfy the unconscious demands of humans in a peaceful world. And since humans prefer other people dying to getting killed themselves, they clone child pilots to fight their battles for them, recycling them over and over. This movie shows a small part of the event-less lives of these ambition-less children.

The End.

Sounds interesting? Well, IT'S NOT! But hey, knock yourself out. Slightly more stimulating than counting sheep.
