Rescue No.13

About This Movie

Rescue No.13 is a curious blend of fantasy and whimsy, weaving an engaging tale of Princess Ara, painfully out of her element on Earth. The pacing feels a bit erratic, but it adds to the charm, especially as we follow her through a series of attempts to return home. The practical effects used to depict the alien landscapes of Nöto are surprisingly effective, giving the film a tactile quality that's often lost in CGI-heavy productions. Performances are earnest; there's a certain warmth in how the characters collide across worlds, even if some fall a touch flat. Overall, it's distinct for its earnest approach to storytelling—a mix of adventure and heart that gives it a unique flavor.
