5 Centimeters Per Second

I love the movie! Though it was bad timing for watching it when I did. At that time I wasn't in the brightest mood and I knew nothing about the movie. Only heard that it's good. Well, I hit rock bottom after the movie... Wasn't able to rewatch till then...

How nice for fanboys to ruin your fun. I definitely won't rate B5c anywhere in my list of top movies. I watched it expecting a Shinkai movie, and I got my Shinkai movie: lovely art, a bit of bittersweet nostalgia, a distinctly simplistic flavour, and at the end there is just no point, moral or theme to it.
You might like it better if you ignore the fanboy hype and just treat it as an hour-long walk down nostalgia lane. Hype tends to spoil things >_<

I did like The Promised Place because of the military aspect, though. Actually getting to see the YF-23 in action ><
psyren:
I swear to god, this is the last Shinkai movie I'll watch as long as he's the writer.
Slykester:
I have to agree with the hype part. I went into the movie with high-expectations of awesomeness. I understand the story that is being conveyed, and can relate to it (like many I'm sure). It was just too convenient, too predictable for me to get any enjoyment. It was, for me, like watching the obvious unfold in a very photogenic manner. Not very original, or even inventive, but in fact quite common.
That being said; I did enjoy the scenery, and I thought the ending was handled well. Conversely, it may be that we hate what hurts the most.
