Editorial Reviews

Mars. Days before Halloween 2071. Villains blow up a tanker truck on Highway One, releasing a deadly virus that kills hundreds. Fearing a bigger, even more devastating biochemical attack, an astronomical reward is offered for the arrest and capture of the person behind the destruction. On the spaceship "Bebop," Spike Spiegel and his crew of bounty hunters (Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed and Ein) are bored and short of cash. But with the news of the reward everything changes. Based on the wildly popular TV series, Cowboy Bebop, the big-screen smash Cowboy Bebop: The Movie pits Spike and Co. against their deadliest adversary ever. Featuring stunning, state-of-the-art animation, this action-packed sci-fi adventure builds to a breath-taking, nail-biting climax, guaranteed to keep you hanging on the edge of your seat.

"You're no ordinary bounty hunter, are you, Spike Spiegel?"

July 31, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

Spike Spiegel is no ordinary bounty hunter and this is no ordinary anime movie.

I just watched it for the first time in years and right in the middle, just before the amazing sequence on the elevated train, I realized that this is my favorite action movie bar none. Animated or otherwise. This is why I don't go to Mission Impossible movie or the like, because this amazing movie gave me all I ever needed.

Just look at the opening credit sequence. What you're seeing is a simple, straightforward portrait of humanity, all done in black and white. The movie takes place on a huge, walled in, terraformed city on Mars, in an age when earth has become a wasteland. Unlike other visionary science fiction movies such as Blade Runner or Brazil, the movie doesn't put us in the middle of a world we've never seen before, but rather into a world where we're supposed to recognize everything. There are reproductions of dozens of great monuments featured, ever crowd scene is a picture of diversity reflecting not only attention to skin tones and facial morphology, but to pop culture trends and symbolism from all the continents.

This movie stands just fine on its own, but it does fit into the context of a series which is every bit as important and fascinating. I was so proud when I discovered that you could tell exactly where the movie fits into the tv show's chronology by the fact that (spoiler alert) by the end of the film the button from Faye's top is missing, and in all the later shows of the series she just ties the two sides of the top together.

This movie succeeds in so many ways. The art is astounding. It should win awards alone for the sequences shot on Morocco Street. If you've watched a lot of anime, you'll realize that the writing, both in the original Japanese and the English subtitles and audio stream are absolutely top notch, and let us not forget the music. Every time I watch the planes taking off to the song "What planet are you from?"

Aficionados of anime may be tempted to think that the animation here is on a tier below, say, Hayao Miyazaki, and certainly the style is different, simpler, in some ways more conventional, and also clearly shot on a much lower budget than Miyazaki has had available to him in the past decades. But just look at the attention to line, the humanity of the crowd scenes, the rich hazy color of the backgrounds, and the attention to detail (note the way the shadow on Spike's cheek ripples during the chase scene with the cops, to indicate the high g-forces—simply astounding) you will realize that this movie stands alongside classics like Spirited Away and Akira at a level of excellence where comparison becomes petty.

I believe every aspiring animator and action movie director should watch this movie.

Stick with the DVD, pass on the blu ray

July 4, 2011

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

I love this movie. It's a long Cowboy Bebop episode and as such it's just fine. It has the humor and drama that one can expect from Cowboy Bebop and our beloved bounty hunters are back and in fine form and the stakes are higher than ever.

My review isn't so much about the movie itself but about the blu ray transfer. The video is very nice, better than the DVD, and the new font they used for the subtitles is very clean and I thought easy to read. The main menu is VASTLY different and does not use music from the movie like the DVD's menus do. It's rather nice and simple to navigate. Those are the positives.

Now for the negatives:

This blu ray only has 2 channel sound while the DVD has 5.1 surround.

This blu ray is missing all extras, not even trailers. If you want the interviews and the storyboard comparison, stick with the DVD.

In at least two places, the subtitles takes perfectly good translations and makes them wrong. I speak enough Japanese to be able to tell the difference, but one of them I verified with a native speaker. In several places near the beginning of the movie the subtitle is at the top of the screen. A couple of those relocations made sense, but the rest were inexplicable. If you watch it subtitled, stick with the DVD.

I only gave this 2 stars for my massive disappointment in the blu ray release. It would have been better if they charged a bit more for it and gave it parity with the DVD. The product description DOES say that there are no extras, but it doesn't tell you that the audio is only 2 channel.

I've watched this movie at LEAST a dozen times and I expect I'll watch it another dozen times, but it will be the DVD. The blu ray will gather dust if I don't sell it.

A good last hit of Cowboy Bebop

March 8, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

**No Spoilers**

If you have not seen the series, stop and do that now.

This movie places it in the time line some were near the middle of the series even though it is not said were. It gives you a little bit more Cowboy Bebop should you be left wanting more after watching the series, as most of us were. This follows the same style the series did but with improved visuals.

If you liked the series, grab this, you will not be disappointed.

It is just so fun towatch

March 18, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

A most impressively drawn and intriguing anime series, which balances action, humor and a (mostly) coherent plot. It is just so fun to watch! I admit I am not a big anime fan. Outside of virtually everything by Studio Ghibli, The Secret of Kells, and a few others (Paprika, Akira, Kirikou and the Sorceress, & the usual top 10-20) this is not my first choice in film genres. My guess is that Cowboy Bebop is well enough done to appeal broadly. I'd give it a PG 13 rating, but that is mostly just a reflection that you may want to review it first, and see if it fits with your family’s tolerance level for adult themes: no explicit sex or drugs, and violence is tame, not Disney tame, but not explicit at all.

Very drawn out

August 3, 2018

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I really like cowboy bebop. Movie was decent, but it really is just an extremely long episode. Way too long. I was getting bored halfway through and it was a struggle to finish. And this is coming from someone who loves the show. If you are thinking about buying this, ask yourself if you really care to spend the money to see it. I would pay maybe $1 to $3 to watch this movie. Which means it is rental quality. I regret purchasing. Honestly, you aren't missing anything by not watching this. Just stick to the TV show and you'll be happy. There are way better movies to spend your money on.
