Pleasant, but leaves some loose threads
This is a nice little movie notable primarily for its visual beauty. The story is loosely constructed but engaging, the mythical creatures are imaginative, and the whole thing is, while not especially memorable, generally enjoyable.

On the other hand, I felt the movie kept implying things and then just dropping them. A mysterious boy’s statements to the girl seem fraught with meaning, suggesting some back story that is then never revealed. A strange crystal also must have some sort of history, but what? It’s as the movie has unplumbed depths.

This may be the reason that at the end I didn’t have the feeling of satisfaction I experience at the end of other movies (like the films of Miyamota). There is something absent from this one. But it’s still a nice movie.

Children Who Chase Lost Voices From Deep Below (AKA Journey to Agartha)
Asuna is a school girl who likes to listen to music she picks up on her homemade crystal radio; one day while listening she picks up music of a type she has never heard before. The next day in school they are warned that a bear has been spotted nearby but she still tries to go to the remote spot where she hear the music; on the way she encounters a fearsome creature; a boy named Shun saves her but he is injured in the process. Not long afterwards she learns that he has died but can’t quite believe it. She returns to the spot where she last saw him and thinks she sees him again but it is his brother Shin. Surprisingly they are met by a military force that is determined to find its way into Shin’s home; the legendary underground world of Agartha. Asuna and Shin manage to flee to Agartha but the leader of the armed force gets in to although he is revealed to be somebody who may not be so bad after all; he is just a man who believes that Agartha holds the secret to bringing his late wife back to life. Once in Agartha they will have to deal with the local people; some are friendly but most are fearful of ‘Topsiders’. People aren’t the only threat; there are also the cursed Ikozu; creatures who dwell in the shadows and will devour people like Asuna!

People who have watched any of Makoto Shinkai’s previous works will be expecting stunning visuals… and they won’t be disappointed; this looks fantastic. From his trademark shining railway tracks to the luscious scenery everything looks great. We don’t get a large cast of characters but the ones we get are interesting and are portrayed in a way that will make most viewers care about them. The story is more fantastical than his previous works; in fact the film it reminded me of most was Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘Princess Mononoke’ as it deals with mythical creatures. The fantasy elements may suggests that this is a film for younger viewers but there are plenty of genuinely creepy moments that could possibly give younger children nightmares; the Ikozu are particularly creepy and we see blood spilt more than once. Overall I’d say that this will is well worth watching; especially if you enjoyed Shinkai’s previous works or films like ‘Princess Mononoke’.

These comments are based on watching the film in Japanese with English subtitles.
