Lensman

About This Movie

Lensman (1984) is this fascinating animated film that dives into the rich universe of E. E. Doc Smith's work. The story kicks off with Kimball Kinnison, a young guy from Mquie, who stumbles upon a dying man clutching this legendary crystal lens. The animation style is a bit unique for its time, blending classic 80s vibes with sci-fi elements. It does have a certain rough charm, and the pacing can feel uneven at points, but it carries this adventurous spirit that's quite engaging. The themes of heroism and the struggle against formidable forces resonate throughout, giving it a depth that you might not expect from an animated feature. Definitely a curious piece in the realm of sci-fi adaptations, worth a watch for collectors.
