I remember the first episodes they showed on TV in glorious black and white. From What I read a few days earlier it’s basically a remake of the original story from all those years ago. The only plus to this is maybe they’ll make some sufficient cash to write a sequel based on the only really good story this show ever had “Mystery of Amless Dam.”
I did enjoy the animation in Astro Boy quite a bit, but then like I said, I’m a fan of the original character and he was portrayed well and voiced just fine by Freddie Highmore plus I’m just a fan of CGI animated films in general. There were also three goofy supporting characters that were quite funny, but I think my daughter’s friend summed it up best: The best thing about the end of the movie is that it meant it was over.
Just to keep the facts straight, the scientist is voiced by Bill Nighy -not the science guy but the one from Pirates of the Caribbean. And, the President (not General) was voiced by Donald Southerland. Sam Jackson was Zog the huge robot.
“But the other message seems to be, the world would be better off without us. Strange, they don’t show a future where we have all “wised up” and gone agrarian…”
Because the world would be a better place without humans. Humans are destroying our planet. This is our only home right now and humans are just destroying. We need the planet, but the planet doesn’t need us. All that humans does - make war, and kill each other and some do that only for fun. The only way there is will be peace is if the human race dies off. They can’t show a world where humans “wise up” is because humans will NEVER do that. We make the same mistakes over and over again.
