a5c7b9f00b A girl&#39;s life cascades into chaoseveryone around her suffers a gruesome fate while she herself becomes less and less certain of who she is and what kind of a world she lives in. i love apocalyptic dystopias and time travel and, of course, Japanese schoolgirls in their uniforms and blood and gore if it&#39;s ironic. throw in an unreliable narrator and you&#39;ve hooked me. and i was hooked all the way in this movie. i kept stopping it to shoot frames–many of which i plan to use for memes on facebook, they&#39;re so pithy. most from &#39;sur&#39; of course!<br/><br/>towards the end i suspected it might fall apart when the big reveal came, but every time i formulated a guess, it would twist slightly and, although i&#39;m not about to reveal anything, it was not only not a cheap cop-out, some serious issues were raised about the future and usa society.<br/><br/>btw, the only movies i give 9s to are epics suchlotr, for geniuses suchkubrick, and the occasional quirky black comedy. this movie earned the 9 from me fair and square with its imagination. my only quibble is i wish they could have afforded better effects in a lot of places, but the bus scene jerked me bolt upright in my chair and that was the intended effect, so they got their money&#39;s worth.<br/><br/>/guy Seriously? Why? Just…why? Aki is my favorite <br/><br/>Spoiler alert: nobody is &quot;it&quot;. Not ever.
