| 2179: Mars has been colonized by
Earth, populated by humans and "Second Type"
robots - robots designed to perform the menial tasks
humans won't do. Then there are the "Third
Types" - illegal humanoid robots designed by a
nationalist force to look and behave exactly like humans
- living undetected among the Martian population as
citizens, until one man, Rene D'anclaude, declares war on
the "Thirds," starting a massacre in a vow to
destroy them all. That's where she comes in. She's Naomi Armitage. A cyber-punk Martian cop in hot pants, with an attitude as deadly as her gun. She's also a "Third," and her fight against D'anclaude is a fight for her survival. Her partner, Ross Sylibus, lost his partner at the hands of a cybernetic killer and hates robots. Ross must face this prejudice when he is injured and received cybernetic limb replacements, bringing him closer to becoming one of the monsters he abhors. He begins to realize that being human is more than just flesh and blood and joins Armitage in her fight against D'anclaude and her quest to discover the mystery of why the "Third Type" was created. Armitage and Ross are brought together in a bond of love and hope as their journey uncovers a secret that could destroy two worlds! This is a story about technology and emotion. About hatred and love. About a human on the verge of becoming a machine and a machine on the verge of becoming a human. It is a story of survival. |

| All right. So not all Pioneer DVDs are great. I wasn't too particularly impressed with this one, sure it had a trailer and some produciton notes, but the movie really wasn't that good. It was very choppy, and left a lot of things unexplored. I haven't seen the OAVs yet, and I'd bet that they did a better job explaining the story. And of course, Armitage III: The Movie is only available in English, which is a big turn off for me. Elizabeth Berkley as the voice of Armitage is questionable, I don't like her acting, and her Voice Acting is no improvement. Keifer Sutherland as Ross, well according to one of my friends, Ross is supposed to be a very laid back, and lethargic person. If that's the case, then Keifer did a good job, because he sounds like he just didn't care about anything when they recorded this. As far as the animation goes, there are some parts in it that do look really cool, and are animated very well, but those are somewhat few and far between. All in all, if you love Armitage, then I suppose you could see this without flinching too much.. I wouldn't recomend it to anyone else though. It was so-so, there are better things to waste your time on. | |||||||||
