Westernized.
I was amazed at how they managed to have a visually stunning and true to the anime.
Visually, this movie nailed making the anime come to life.
There were several scenes that were just jaw dropping.
All that aside... The plot sucked. They managed to rip off several elements of the anime plot and then twist it into garbage. In the anime there was no love interest and no forcing poor people to take part in some experiment for some corporate gain. The claim of all the past failures was weak. The plot was a typical weak American plot.
It has apparently tanked in the box office... I feel that they decided to give it the American plot because they were too afraid to risk the original. I believe their effort to "play it safe" is what caused the tanking.
Another complaint is the stray pure bread well fed dogs....
And another was the language. I know Scarlet can't speak Japanese... But they tried to have some Japanese mixed with English. Just go all out English if that is the route. Don't go half heart.
Just watch the anime and then watch mute clips from this movie and all will be good.
