Another issue was how uninspired and boring the action sequences were.
There was never the slightest feeling of tension or amazement that a lot
of the action sequences of SAC produced. They seemed rushed and lazy in
comparison, yet were up against 22 minute TV episodes that had one
tenth the funding and time to produce.I already touched down on the
writing but it was exactly the same case, the philosophy too was almost
completely absent. That alone should indicate how much of a travesty it
is that this film has Stand Alone Complex in the title, considering what
an important role the philosophical musings of the cast played in the
series. Again, I can't stress it enough, there were non plot episodes of
SAC that made me think more then this entire film, who's central
philosophical question can be posed as "should abused children be taken
from their parents???". My final complaint is the awkward dialogue and
bad voice actor delivery. After 52 episodes how could not only the
writers but the voice actors all manage to mess up so badly. Everyone
sounds stiff and distant like they just met and the few times there's an
outcry of emotion it comes off as fake and manufactured. It sounds like
everyone's been possessed by body snatchers and are being forced to act
out a terribly mediocre film while they struggle inside their minds but
can only cringe as they watch themselves and each other deliver
incredibly hammy dialogue in the most stiff and awkward of tones.
Yet
everywhere I turn the film gets solid 8's. Why? How was this not
considered Kenji Kamiyama's and Masamune Shirow's greatest failure?

you could not end the series on a more indifferent note then this film. |
