Summary: The Best of the Best!
Review: This is my pick for ultimate favorite anime ever created. The first time I saw it I was blown away! It's SOOOOO awesome that Sci-Fi shows it every so often. Everyone needs to definite check this out. Trust me! You WON'T be disappointed.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's OK
Review: This movie reminds me of Akira, though it's really that good. It is a film worth the money but Akira And Ghost in the shell are still THE GREATEST MANGA EVER MADE

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A MAGNIFICENT FILM
Review: This movie was pretty spectacular.From the one-wheeled motorcycle races to the huge aircraft carrier-like airplanes to the look of the semi-modern but still futuristic city that the battle started in, there is deffinately something here for everyone.Plus the great story of a CIVIL war rather than the usual played out drama about a war with aliens really gave this film a good plot.And the characters are all very diverse and quite interesting.The only thing that,in my opinion,keeps this film from earning a pefect 5 stars,was the date in which it took place (somewhere around 2090,give or take a few years).Although we may establish some outposts on other planets by then,I seriously doubt that we will be able to change the atmosphere and temperature of venus enough to make it suitable for humans in just 100 years,or that there inhabitants will become so diverse and numerous that they will have wars with each other. But please,DO NOT take that to mean that the whole film is bad or anything like that.In my opinion, it is one of the greatest animated films,and indeed one of the greatest sci-fi films,of all time.This movie may not be perfect,but if you ever liked any sci-fi or action movie in your life,then you won't regret buying a copy of venus wars.

Review: This was one of the best anime films I have ever seen. It's right up there with "Tenchi Muyo! in Love" as one of my favorite all-time movies.

Summary: Not Your Typical Anime
Review: Venus Wars bears no resemblance to the dogmeat that Japan is turning out in terms of anime lately. Venus Wars tells the story of a group of motorized uni-cycle racers (believe me, these uni-cycles aren't your typical uni-cycles) that get involved in the war between two factions fighting for control of Venus. The film deals with hope and the tragedy of war as seen from both the folks not directly involved in the fighting, and from a soldier's perspective. The animation is refreshing and very crisp, and it sounds as if some real thought went into the music as well. The added extras are a joke, but I bought this disc for the film, not for any sort of flashy extras. If you're a fan of old-school anime, then Venus Wars definitely belongs in your DVD collection.

Summary: Venus Wars- A Good Beginning When Watching Anime
Review: Venus Wars is a great feature film that combines great animation, compelling story-line, and realistic action. Those new to anime might think that anime is too gory or too lude to watch. While others think that anime is just a cartoon and should not be taken seriously. Venus Wars is middle ground for anyone who wants to start watching anime.
The animation is very detailed, from the monobikes to the landscapes and characters; they are all well done. The charachters have depth. They are not confusing with no history as to why they behave the way that they do. There is death and violence, but its not overdone and is in line with what's going on in the movie. The story line seems believeable, in my eyes, and its an anime movie that doesn't do anything so unrealistic that its totally unbelieveable.
The main character is Hiro, a rebellious mono bike (motorcycle with one wheel)racer. He and his motorcycle racing team are busy with the ins and outs of living on Venus, when they are thrust into a war with another country. All of their lives and dreams are put on hold and they must choose to fight for what they believe in. He and his friends learn that fighting for what you believe comes at a great cost. Many of Hiro's friends die fighting for their freedom. Its also a tale of lost love.
The action sequences between the monobikes and tanks are spectacular. It makes you want to run out and race on a motorbike yourself.
I can't say enough good things about Venus Wars. If you want a good start in Anime this is the film to buy.
