Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Steamboy, ultimately, shares deep-seated themes with the futuristic Akira. Both offer cautionary tales about scientific responsibility and the evils of war. And both look pretty cool, too.

Until it careers into cacophony ... it's a lot of fun.

rotten:
The movie never transcended its elaborate production work to achieve an independent reality. It's simply pictures of what never happened.

Its problem is not a lack of things to look at. There's plenty of them, and they're all cool. It's just that, in this world of clanking, hissing machines, even the people seem like robots.

It's a sensationally designed piece of work.
