5.5 / 10 · TMDB

Set in 2022, technology has advanced to the point where the human nervous system can be seamlessly integrated into external networks thanks to nanomachines. People leave their bodies behind in water tanks while traversing through cyberspace. However, a crisis known as "Early Rapture" occurs where the system becomes overloaded, resulting in thousands of consciousnesses being lost in the network. Remu Mikage's sister Shiki is one of them, and in an attempt to look for her he visits her apartment. He encounters Shiki there, who informs him that the person he is speaking to isn't his sister, and has somehow taken over her body.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a dense cyberpunk narrative that relies on the central mystery of a hijacked identity to explore the fragility of the self in a digitized world. It questions where consciousness ends and programmed imitation begins.

What lingers after the credits is a palpable sense of unease about technological integration, paired with the thrill of its sleek, network-bound action sequences. The line between salvation and oblivion proves terrifyingly thin. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Tatsuya Yoshihara
