About This Movie

So, 'HOME!' directed by Akihiko Orikasa, is set in 2124 and revolves around Christopher, who's on this research gig on Mars. The animation style is pretty sleek and has this unique blend of fantasy and science fiction. There's a certain depth to the atmosphere, almost like a quiet melancholy, especially as Christopher unravels the mystery of a lost commercial vessel. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection amidst the tension. The practical effects used are quite remarkable for an animated feature, giving it a tangible feel. Performances, though animated, carry weight, bringing life to the characters. It’s distinctive for its thoughtful approach to loneliness and discovery in such an expansive setting.
