One could argue that the end is really the beginning of the story, [spoiler] which is left to the watcher to wonder [/spoiler] so I understand why some people will dislike it, all in all I liked the atmosphere, style and soundtrack, but the movie does kinda end up feeling like it was more of a presentation of the world and building of it on the midst of the hero's journey of Vesper. It was slow but I really enjoyed and the curiosity about the society in this reality really kept me interested. I don't have hopes but I'd love to see it being explored in a tv show format, perhaps, picking up where the movie left. And no doubt that if you are a Nausicaä fan like myself you'll at least enjoy the aesthetic inspiration of this world.

Interesting to see your Nausicaä reference, since I had noticed that the credits gave thanks to Hiyao Miyazaki and I have long known of the existence of the well-recommended anime title Nausicaä of the Valley, but I don't believe I have ever actually watched it. I assume you are indeed referring to the anime, rather than what I just learned was apparently part of Homer's famed Odyssey (or something..)? Care to elaborate on how this connects to Nausicaä in your mind— for those like myself that (despite being an anime fan) have never watched it?<br /> <br /> (P.S.: semi-random question: have you happened to have also watched what I recall to be titled as something like “Earth Girl Arjuna”? That's something I have indeed watched a good bit of… — mentioned just incase that might serve as a common reference point)

@calex Of course! And yes, I was thinking about the anime rather than the manga. For me, it's mostly the aesthetics, the bioluminescence quite present in the plants and the way they interact with the ecossystem it's a beautiful inspiration, but of course one may go further and drawn parallels to Vesper and Nausicaä interest in nature and science, as well as their resilience and fighting spirit. And not only that, but the story itself, the struggless and the messages that it tries to pass on the public, but Nausicaä, with it's more "direct" ending is a little bit more successful in letting its optmistic message more easily visualised. And just to make it clear, even if I can see parallels it doesn't mean I don't think that Vesper doesn't stand on it's own, there are unique elements on Vesper, and it's just a shame it couldn't go more in deepth about social structures for example... <br /> <br /> (P.S: You know what? It's kinda funny that you did watch "Earth Girl Arjuna" and not Nausicaä, because I'm the reverse lol. Truthfully, thank you for your comment, because Earth Girl Arjuna has been in my watch list for an embarrassing long time... And now I'm really wanting to see it!)

I liked the mood given by the CGI but you can easily guess the story. It is clear what is coming at every scene. Nothing so excited or interested. If you are not bored enough, after a few minutes you will say:
[spoiler] bad guy and the good guy lying on the bed will die somehow, so called guest is a jug, humanity will be saved by our main character. [/spoiler]
Anything else would be a twist but sadly no surprises. 5.5/10

Excellent world building and some fine special effects but the slow pace of the movie may be off-putting for some. I enjoyed it and I appreciated its leisurely pace but it feels incomplete without a sequel.

One-dimensional characters and a predictable story carefully wrapped in some amazing world-building and surprisingly good visual effects. Despite the overall drag of the plot, there's still something quite alluring about the atmosphere presented.

Okay, so movies like this are still occasionally made. Good, sometimes it's easy to lose faith.

This is what you can get when you don't have Hollywood money and you don't have to follow the standard Hollywood procedure and end up with a standard Hollywood product. I wouldn't want to take anything away from Hollywood: they have made many unforgettable experiences, but I don't see a way out of the too big to fail standard Hollywood mold.

_Vesper_ shows what you can get when unrestricted, unchained, pure **talent** takes the center stage. There are no compromises and there is no holding back. Just someone's, or many someones', unfiltered vision, poured out on film. All I want to know is: when is their next project coming out?

Rarely is such short review good, but I have to say, it’s exactly how I felt. Am I glad I watched it? Sure. Would I ever watch it again? Absolutely not.

I enjoyed it’s effects and the world style but it definitely could have improvements because it wasn’t anything brilliant, it felt rushed and slow paced at the same time but i still enjoyed it and would of loved more to it because it felt short to how much it give, shown of the world within it and it was interesting and i’d love to see more because it’s definitely got more to show.

Visually appealing thanks to its CGI and apocalyptic elements. But the story is messy, and misses many opportunities for a thrilling adventure.

Greatly aligns with reality (i.e., the various technological ideas, dilemmas, and conclusions I've cognized/conceived/realized over the last decade or so) and is also somehow infinitely more finely visually rendered than blockbuster releases (e.g., the The Last Of Us HBO Max TV show season 1) that I assumed would have had an advantage of more capital investment (i.e., more money to work with). Beautiful, depressingly reflective/realist, and yet not conclusively depressing as, overall, it allows for hope. (It yet again must be said that this film confusingly, greatly outperforms big-budget productions in its rich, finely rendered, realistic visual components).

It achieves an impressive formal appearance and a suitably disturbing dystopia although it does not avoid falling into commonplaces. It achieves an impressive visual texture that turns the Lithuanian forests into the perfect setting for an apocalyptic world, and Dan Levy's music shines especially in creating an unsettling atmosphere that at the same time has a certain epic undertone. Camera movement is somewhat constrained by visual effects rather than enriched by them, but at times it's a film with good ideas about family and survival.
