Offering a nifty blend of live action and strikingly stylized animation, this offbeat and interesting curio tells the compellingly odd story of a little girl angel (cute Rainbow Dolan) who arrives on Earth to provide hope and salvation to the survivors living in a harsh and mostly inhospitable post-apocalyptic world.

Director/co-writer Carl Colpoaert doesn't deliver much in the way of action, but does succeed quite well in creating and sustaining an off-kilter thoughtful and meditative downbeat mood suffused with lots of melancholic despair and a faint glimmer of fragile hope. Moreover, the deliberate pacing takes some getting used to at the start, but in the long run provides a singularly entrancing hypnotic pull that works in the film's favor by further adding to the overall weirdness of the thing. Recommended viewing for those seeking something very different and unusual.

Roger Corman protege Carl Colpaert made his directorial debut on this film by combining repurposed excerpts from Mamoru Oshii's (the original Ghost In The Shell) anime Angel's Egg with new footage shot in America. The result combines live action and animation to create the story of two soldiers, Frank and Goose, and their lives after the end of the world.

Frank and Goose start the film on the hunt for oxygen, with only six days left. After a violent confrontation leaves Frank injured, a small girl named Angel appears holding an egg. It turns out that Angel is really an angel and she has to decide if she wants to help mankind survive or allow it to fade away in the apocalypse.

Meanwhile, Frank meets Doctor Sarah, another survivor, and they share an interlude where he plays her a haunting theme on the piano (Horatio Moscovici's "Carnavalito Tango").

While not the greatest movie I've ever seen, this movie still deserves to be checked out. It's pretty incredible that the Corman factory got their hands on the anime rights so cheaply and when they realized just how little Western audiences would comprehend it, they just went all out and made it into a new film that can stand on its own.

Very bad, simple and not thought provoking. Exactly the opposite of what they were going for.

Just watch Angel's egg by Mamoru Oshii. The director of this thing was just envious of that movie.
