The 2004 <I>Appleseed</I> feature is a reworking of the earlier video based on the manga by Masamune Shirow (<I>Ghost in the Shell</I>). In 2131, most of humanity has withdrawn to the glittering city of Olympus after a devastating war. When the curvaceous Deunan Knute comes to Olympus, she encounters her former comrade Briareos, now a cyborg, and the lovely android Hitomi. The fate of Hitomi, Olympus, and humanity rest on the lost "Appleseed" technology that Deunan's mother helped to develop. A standard series of chases, <I>mecha battles</I>, and confrontations leads to a predictable ending. When the original <I>Appleseed</I>appeared in 1988, it felt like a summary of anime's past, while <I>Akira</I> pointed the way to the future. This new version feels like a mishmash of <I>Ghost in the Shell</I>, <I>Akira</I>, <I>Jin-Roh</I>, <I>Evangelion</I>, and other, more exciting works. The motion-capture CG is typically weightless, and the <I>mecha</I> look oddly squat. (Rated R: violence) <I>--Charles Solomon</I>
