The film was released in Japan on July 17, 2004. Both versions are moderately interesting in some ways, but neither ever becomes frightening. It`s a surround intensive film, as you would expect from an action extravaganza set in the world of steam, unfortunately the balance isn`t quite right. If you’re looking for something with a little more substance behind the pretty backdrop, there isn’t much of it here.The movie was released in Japan on July 17, 2004. If that’s enough for you in a movie, then you’ll be in hog heaven with Steamboy. Of course, that’s not really why anybody would watch this movie, the reason to see it is the steampunky designs and the backgrounds, which are lavish and complex. Pretty much everybody looks the same, except for the evil dad with a big robot eye. This movie’s got the same director as Akira, and it shows in the character design. I can’t even extend the plot synopsis into two sentences here.

All the generic roles are filled by equally generic characters in a story that is really nothing to write home about.

There’s a spoiled rich girl that acts as the romantic interest, some cute animal sidekicks, and a crazy old man. Steamboy is about a boy in a steampunk futurepast who has to stop his dad from creating a giant horrible machine that will kill everybody or something like that. Anyway, that’s my subs vs dubs opinion, which I’m sure you care about. While I get where they’re coming from, and there definitely IS something to be said about the original acting conveying the original intent of the director, if you can’t understand the language in the first place, it’s lost on you anyway, so you might as well see a dub in a language you understand so you can get the emotional feel from THOSE performances. I did watch the original version with English subtitles, not because I’m one of those guys, but because it’s completely impossible to find a dubbed version of an anime movie if you’re pirating it because the guys who care enough to upload these things are the ones who think that a dub is a violent attack on the original intent of a film. So for some reason IMDb didn’t have the original Japanese cast listed, only the English dub, so that’s what I wrote down.

Starring: Anna Paquin, Patrick Stewart, Alfred Molina
