And not just a bad dream but a very bad nightmare...
The movie is about an end of the world happening between childhood friends. We never get any sort of background for all of this or any explanation of the powers that the characters are using but you can understand most things by just watching the movie. The movie is an experience. It has incredible music, very good scenery/art, character designs are fantastic and the animation is breathtaking. The mood of the film works even better than in the TV show and the violence is beautiful as much as it's unsettling.
One thing is for sure, this movie is pretty underrated and forgotten. A gem that needs an extra hour to be really good but even as it is, it is an epic tragedy that is carried enough by its style and atmosphere alone.
The movie is best if you've watched the tv series or read the manga but even without knowing anything you will be pretty impressed; sort of like Akira in that sense. A movie retelling of an apocalyptic tale about friends with crazy force pushing powers without great character development but with amazing animation, visuals, and subtle depth.
