Silent Mobeius Movie Review

 

In the year 2028 the city of Tokyo is under attack by a supernatural threat known as Lucifer Hawk. To combat this menace is a special police unit called the Attacked Police (AMP). Katsumi Liqueur is a member of this elite police force as well as being a powerful wizard. A certain incident of Lucifer Hawks in a tower ends up reminding Katsumi of how she became a member of the AMP and how the battle against the Lucifer Hawk is written into her destiny.

 

The true horror of the future is that they will try to bring that outfit back into fashion

Silent Mobius is a science fiction (with mystical elements added in) action story staring a cast of no nonsense female action heroes.The first Silent Mobius movie clocks in around 50 minutes minus the ending music so this so called movie isn't really meant to be a stand alone work as much as it is a couple of introduction episodes about the main character Katsumi. As far as the characters Katsumi looks she is a somewhat interesting heroine but everyone else isn't developed all that well.

 

Actually there are no Gamilions or smurfs in the movie

As for being a good action movie I found Silent Mobius to be decent fare. The animation shows that this is clearly an older work (circa 1991) but it is meticulously drawn and so if you like older animation this movie could be a treat for you. I found the action to be decent although there isn't much more than that and some prefunctery character development.

 

Obligatory tentacle monster, now with more teeth

Overall I would recommend searching this out but if you don't mind looking at older Oav material this short movie will be worth watching.
