Please note: I'm referring to the NC-17 feature that was released here, not the three-part OVA. This is important because...
The version I saw made no sense whatsoever. I spent the first half hour or so understanding what I was watching but then...well, then I just lost it. Characters we've never seen before start popping up and doing stuff, and we're apparently supposed to care. Sub-plots appear out of nowhere and are just as suddenly abandoned. I still have no idea what happened...not just in the ending, but in the entire movie. This movie gave me a headache, and I even understood Akira the first time I watched it! It's horribly incoherent, so it basically boils down to unbelievably twisted rape scenes and ultra-violence with no plot to anchor it all. In other words, one of the longest (I refuse to believe it was actually only 108 minutes) most boring movies I have ever seen.
There's no real point in touching on the sex in the movie, since every other reviewer will mention it. I will say that Freud would have an absolute field day with this. After a while I found my thoughts on WHY the animators thought this stuff up more interesting than my attempts at following the plot. There are some scenes with ingenious ideas and imagery, but again...no plot, no point. I should have turned it off, but it became a challenge...I promised myself I'd make it to the end, and when I finally did after what seemed like an eternity, I regretted that decision.
I commented to one of my friends in the midst of the film that it felt like a ridiculously long series that had been cut apart and pieced together into a movie. Turns out I was partly right: it's actually a three-part OVA. So THAT explains why there are 3 climaxes (no pun intended). Since I believe in giving a movie a fair chance, one day I'll watch the original series - subtitled, since the US voiceovers are ATROCIOUS (but amusing) - and make a decision then. Just give me a year or so to forget how painful this version was.

As soon as my friends and I stumbled upon this movie in a Leonard Maltin guide, it became a bit of a running joke among us. Finally, after years of wondering just what this movie was, we found it in the local video store and had to see it for ourselves.
Man, what a disappointment. We expected it to be bad, don't get me wrong. But we expected it to be REALLY bad. Instead, this was just bad bad: mediocre. There's nothing the least bit interesting about this movie. If you're going to make a bad movie, at least make it REALLY bad. Classically bad. Anyway, we only got about halfway through before giving up on it completely. The whole thing was just really annoying...the penis has an obnoxious voice and keeps calling "Hey Bert! Look at her, Bert!", usually in reference to a woman who isn't even all that attractive...and then Bert gets into some kind of trouble as a result. Rinse, lather, repeat. Over and over again. What a waste.
Avoid.
