Bilgi :High school student Hitomi Kanzaki, depressed and despondent, wishes to disappear from her world. Her wishes are heard in the alternate world of Gaea where a battle for absolute control is raging! Magically, Hitomi is suddenly transported to this other world and is bestowed with the power to decide its ultimate fate!
Review:You know something is wrong with this movie the moment Hitomi reveals herself to be a suicidal teen on the brink of self-destruction. This is not the Vision of Escaflowne we've grown to enjoy, that people are currently watching on North American television. No, this is some other sort of beast entirely.
I have never truly understood the Japanese obsession with alternate universe stories. Mind you, when it's done well (*some* parts of Tenchi Muyo and El Hazard come to mind), it's very entertaining, but it rarely lends itself to becoming truly classic and memorable. It's like fanfiction, only sanctioned by the original creators. And in this case, it's darkfic gone terribly, terribly wrong.
In the case of Escaflowne: The Movie , not only do the characters seem horribly off-kilter (almost the whole lot of them!), but we are introduced to a story that is brooding, depressing, violent, and remarkably similar to Evangelion or X, neither of which I would particularly want to associate with the original TV series. The television series, at least, had some humorous parts, a well-told storyline, and characters you could care about. Escaflowne: The Movie has precisely NONE of these features.
Again, remember Hitomi from the TV series - a bit on the odd side, but fairly normal and well-adjusted. Not here! It's her wish for everything to vanish that draws the attention of Gaea in the first place. Van? He's a ruthless, head-chopping barbarian who can't see farther than the point of his sword. Alen? Serious Sephiroth complex. Worst off is Millerna, whose riot-grrl duds (I wish I was kidding) make her look more at place in MD Geist than in Escaflowne. Most of the characters, in fact, are relegated to cameo appearances; even Dilandau's appearance is little more than a "Hey, I exist!" role. The only character who improves, oddly enough, is Merle, who isn't nearly as annoying.
Though the animation is technically stunning, especially in the opening fight sequence where Van beheads or bisects a good two dozen enemy soldiers with his sword, it's far too dark and murky (a problem last seen in the red-paint spectacular, Spriggan), and the action in quite a few scenes actually suffers for it. The music, though appropriate and beautiful, is more of a recap of the TV series than anything truly original, though to Kanno Yoko's credit, she doesn't repeat the Escaflowne chanting track more than necessary.
