Watch Casshern Movie Online.
Movie Title: Casshern Casshern is available for streaming or downloading. |
Amazon is mistaken in the listing of the runtime - this is the 125 limited version (117 itsy-bitsy in the UK) . This has not been edited by the studio (like Zu Warriors/Legend of Zu etc) . This is the official Director’s Slit of the movie (if you contemplate closely at the box art you will seek the banner at the top also informs you of this) - it honest so happens that the Director’s Slit is a lot shorter than the released theatrical version - a Director’s Carve does not mean a longer crop! I like the unedited version although it does have a tendancy to ramble a bit…so I would be keen in seeing this version.

CASSHERN is loosely based on the Japanese anime in the 1970’s called “Casshan Robot fighter” which was in turn adapted into the live-action TV series. Highly stylized and visually fine, “CASSHERN” gives you that first impression that it is a drag-out robot smashing action film as its trailer suggests. However, there is more to this film than first meets the recognize.
Plot synopsis derived from the dvd succor cover/slip sleeve:

An alternate world with an alternate history.
The world is divided between two opposing alliances. After fifty years of bitter warfare, the Greater Eastern Federation triumphs over the Europan forces and gains control over the Eurasian continent. However, this is a hollow victory. Years of chemical, biological and nuclear war have ravaged the land; draining its resources and left an exhausted population at the mercy of every pestilence and newly-mutated disease. With the war ravaged world, hope dwindles for humanity’s future. Remaining leaders debate over the chances of finding some contrivance to stave off the seemingly-inevitable decline of civilization. One man comes forward with a possible solution. Dr. Azuma is a geneticist who proposes a “neo-cell” treatment that can rejuvenate the body and regenerate humankind. He’s driven in his studies by a desire to attach his beloved wife, Midori, from the ravages of a pollution-caused rare disease. He appeals for funding to the government but the selfish politicians in the Health division rejects his proposals, fearing that the novel technology may threaten their entrenched powers.
However, a infamous faction in the noteworthy military makes an offer to Dr. Azuma to provide the financial aid he needs to further his research. When an incident occurs in the lab that sends the Professor’s “neo-cell” cloning experiment haywire, a run of mutant human beings (Shinzo Ningen or Neo-Sapiens) is unleashed upon the world. Instead of being the savior of mankind, the Professor’s miraculous technology looks residence to threaten its very existence…
Desperate, the scientist exposes the lifeless body of his son, Tetsuya to the Neo-cell fluids. Tetsuya, now benefit from the tiresome with a unique grand body must become Casshern, to defend the GEF from the rogue “Neo-Sapiens” and their killer robots… (WHEW! I’m tired)
The premise of the film is the terror of war. It is basically a 140 runt anti-war movie. Casshern is a hard film to review, when I first saw it, it wasn’t very distinct what Tetsuya was fighting for. Now, I saw it for the 2nd time privy to this review, and I kind’a like its mythology. As with most anime, the film has its absorb section of philosophical storytelling; there are a lot of political, emotional, social, philosophical reasons for Tetsuya’s struggle. He is very reluctant to fight again, being an ex-soldier. One might consider that his goals are simple, that defending man’s existence is his main goal. This is a Japanese film, so Tetsuya partly fights for something deep; Treasure.
There is a lot of thunder in Casshern. This fact may be safe and awful. Perhaps I read too noteworthy between the lines, but its impact and message is too strong to ignore. The LAST thing this film is an action film. The film relies on provoking emotional responses from its characters; we peruse the horrors of war and what needs to be done to change it. The twist is; one MUST fight a war to achieve such change.
Ok, I’m rambling. Casshern is a visual and aural feast for PS3/Xbox 360 fan boys. The visuals seem well-known to distract us from all the philosophy and the whole oedipal complex that is played heavily in the film. When Tetsuya starts smashing robots, with his one-on-one duels, the film takes a different tone. So, enough with the analysis! CASSHERN looks simply Unbelievable. The space designs, lurid cinematography and the CGI are all packaged in one frigid film that is definite to be awe-inspiring. The splendid eye-candy is distinct to satisfy!
I maintain the region-3 release and I’ve seen the current region-2 Japanese release which both utilized the same impressive transfer. It is very likely that the U.S. release will behold the same. I hope Amazon’s specs are inaccurate, the runtime amazon says is 80 minutes, the uncut film is 142 minutes.
VIDEO/AUDIO: ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN 2.40 RATIO. The relate is very nice and is intentionally enhanced to view almost like a `painting’. Colors are blooming, the dissimilarity is intriguing with very solid blacks. The Japanese 5.1 Dolby EX/6.1 DTS-ES is very great. English subs are suited.
Parting thoughts:
Once you collect over the fact that this is not an action film, viewers will like the message that Casshern delivers. If you glean this film for what it is, you will be treated to an friendly section of film-making. Casshern is definitely worth a seek, for CGI fans and even for those who aren’t. This film takes its time setting things up so patience and attention is a must!
