Just watched the movie using Crackle on my Xbox 360.
To be honest, I thought this movie would involve a lot of blood and fighting. But actually not at all, the majority of it involved conversations between characters. The fight scenes that did happen were entertaining, however, especially the opening one. I'll also admit that I initially thought that "The Teacher" was the main character. That part was confusing for me.
I couldn't really see a clear storyline. The plot summary on Crackle was short and not informative, so I had a hard time gathering information and putting it together.
Characters were uninteresting at best. Everyone seemed 'cryptic' in nature. By that, I mean they seemed to lack a personality. I never like that sort of thing. I enjoy seeing characters that express their personality, and when there's none to express, it gets boring really fast.
This is one of the most beautifully-animated movies I've ever seen. Realistic explosions and movements, especially the props on the aircraft, were pleasing to the eye. No bright or vibrant colors were used, but somehow I found that appealing.
If I were to improve this movie, I'd add more fight scenes (the battle between Kannami and The Teacher, especially) and take out a lot of the conversations. One key scene that I thought about for a while was the bombing attack - I seriously disliked that they didn't show the bombing, the interceptors, or how they "botched" the job.
