I saw this movie trailer while shopping and picked it up on a whim. What drew me to it were the action scenes that were part CGI part hand drawn animated.

What I found when I watched it was one of the strangest movies I have ever scene. The story revolves around a squadron of children who fight for one of two rival companies. The pilots are all killdren (children who never grow up and are turned into fighter pilots).

It is part anti-war message, part action film and part philosophy into the meaning of life.

It is a very strange storytelling method that could leave you easily confused if you were not paying attention.

Worth a watch, but a little too disjointed to really be light viewing.
