Unfortunately, while the animation remains its biggest selling point, the result is clunky, tepid, and, frankly, boring because of its lusterless dialogue.

Appreciated from a distance as an art-object it's kind of a fascinatingly weird, beautiful oddity - especially when they're done with the plot stuff and can just hit the 'montage' or 'battle scene' button (which is... often)

This is a film that's carried by its visuals and music, but the writing never manages to tell a complete and satisfying story.

An indistinct fantasy saga that might be just fine for a video game in 1992, but makes for a lousy movie in 2020.
