Altered
Carbon Resleeved 6/10
So I
was sitting here tired of watching nothing but YouTube and checked my
Netflix to see what I could find. I stumbled upon this Altered
Carbon: Resleeved animated movie. Had zero idea it existed and came
out two months ago. Did anyone even see this? Maybe not. That second
season was trash and I couldn't even finish it. I liked the first
season but didn't as much after reading the book. Okay. Click here to
see my review of season one, here for season two, and here where I
wrote about the biggest differences between the series and the book.
Ain't got time to be sitting here recapping shit I've recapped
already.
This
animated movie was the best representation of what I would imagine a
great series about Takeshi Kovacs would be. He wakes up in a new
sleeve (body) in a sex club and has been assigned to protect a young
girl named Holly. During an escape they come across this cool ass
woman named Gena who is part of a squad and is hired to take out the
young girl. This movie is full of all kinds of double crosses. The
animation was done well. Took a few minutes for me to get used to it.
The fight scenes were by far my favorite part of the movie. The
voices didn't really fit almost any of the characters but the style
and battles kept me distracted enough to keep watching. I liked when
Kovacs' life and sister were brought up. I really liked (and what
made me keep watching from the start) was when he woke in a new
sleeve it was time to get to work. No stupid freak out scene. Could
you imagine hiring someone who went insane as soon as they opened
their eyes? I would definitely watch another movie done this way with
a random adventure of Kovacs. I really liked that character.
