AKIRA, April 6-8

"There are certain science-fiction films, such as Blade Runner and Kubrick's 2001, that are so well realized that they can influence the genre for decades to come. Now AKIRA has been around for some 30 years, we have seen how long a shadow it has cast not only over science fiction but also animation, it sits comfortably alongside those other lauded titles. Another thing it shares with them is how it always offers up something new or missed with every viewing." - The Guardian
