Why so much hype?

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I've watched this movie so many times and I still enjoy it immensely. It is the only film that I can think of that covers pretty much all genres. Mostly it is a romance but also a sci-fi, mystery, comedy, tragedy, horror, thriller with plenty of twists that you don't see coming. The acting is superb from both of the lead stars and Ayasa Haruka is so adorable. Tears of laughter and sadness will flow from most viewers whilst watching this story. The directing is spot on and the story will keep your attention from start to finish. I would be surprised if many people could guess the ending as the final twist is really one of those WOW moments. Japanese movie makers are very good at stirring emotions and surprising audiences with twist. This epic movie is no exception.My rating 10/10! One of only 2 films I rate so highly.

OK, it was a bit long but necessary to maintain continuity. I was totally surprised by the storyline. The 'robot' was HOT but he never got to first base. This was a tad bit unrealistic but then, it was a comedy. I may return to this movie again.There were nice touches of him visiting his hometown back-in-the-day. It seemed to me that him & her were invisible until the little girl spoke to them directly. The cat disappearing from his apartment just before the big quake was another nice touch. The scenes of the destruction of Tokyo were excellent and detailed. Kind of prophetic speaking in terms of the events of 2011.The ending, repeating the beginning, was necessary to give significance to what might have been forgotten. Certain new details were given when it was seen through her eyes.

This is one of the best movies i have ever seen and believe me i have seen a lot.I have seen almost all movies in the top 250 on IMDb and much more, this movie is so underrated here, but it is near perfect.The only reason i can think of why people would rate this movie low is maybe because they don't like science fiction or don't like stories with far fetched technology, or maybe some special effects that aren't top notch like most movies today but other than that i cant come up with a reason.This is a beautiful masterpiece, a great storyline that is truly unique.I have never encountered this story in anything i ever watched, the budget may not be as high as most Hollywood movies but that is not important to me.This is a truly unique and beautiful movie, you can just feel that the creators have put their heart in it, and to me that is the most important factor.It is officially FIRST movie i ever shed a tear with, i didn't even cry with The Green Mile.I came here to rate the movie a 9 (wich i hardly do) and found out how terribly underrated it is so i just had to write a quick opinion.Sorry, this may not be very helpful for getting an idea of what the movie is about but you can find that elsewhere. I just wanted to write my feelings about this amazing movie, i think anyone should at least give it a try.The only reason why im not giving it a 10 is because of 1 or 2 very minor things that could have been done better or could have been left out, but it is so minor that it almost doesn't matter.9/10

I do not know about other people but I went to see this movie because it was directed form the same guy that made My Sassy Girl, Classic and Daisy. This guy really does have a good record of making romantic movie in different situation. He has his own style of making romantic movie and this is another of his hearth warming, cliché, intrigue and tear jerking movie.The stories about the lonely college student about to find his love that turn out to be the cyborg from the future send to protect him for the unknown reason. Though the story isn’t that original but hardly any movie does nowadays so it doesn’t quite really bother me, anyway it has been execute pretty well though slow from time to time and drag on and never end like AI: Artificial Intelligence. And in the end it got a too wrap up ending (at least for me).There are quite a few scenes that will managed to delivered what it suppose to bring and in the end (if you don’t felt bore by it first) it will be pretty much a heart touching story that really intrigue you.The casting, well I think it was pretty darn good, after all it seem to consist of only two main character and a few more that add little to the story. They do pretty much have a pretty great chemistry even though one of them is a robot.Overall I do pretty much like it though I felt it was overlong for it also got a very slow pace, but I do pretty much expected from this guy flick. So it was alright by my standard. In the end I didn’t felt riff-off so that is a good thing, though I highly doubt I will watch it again soon.Recommendation: I went to see it on big screen, but I highly recommend you rent DVD.Reason To Watch: Touching, Cyborg is Hot!! Reason Not To: Slow Pace, Too Wrap Up Ending (Though I Understand Why).Rating: 6.5/10 (Grade: C+)
