Review title: Strange and Sad but very very good.
Product review: Sky Crawlers is wonderfully drawn, and engaging in it's action sequences; but it is something more. The Main Characters are Kildren; Genetically engineered "Children" who cannot grow up; and who are inherently expendable cogs in a unending war; such a theme could easily fall into Pabulum; but the writers pretty well pull it off.Sky Crawlers is Speculative fiction of a High Order, worthy of comparison with the work of Roger Zelazni, or Larry Niven; if it does not always reach quite as high as it aims; it at least comes close to that mark. The Teacher Subplot in many ways crucial to the story; is just a bit much; 'The Teacher' in the end likely share the fate of Baron von Richthofen, or Colonel Tomb; hanging so much of the drama, unnecessarily on this supposedly unbeatable adversary is a bit much; and a bit juvenal; which is why I only give the film 4 stars; the writing could; and generally did take a more mature, more genuinely adult point of view.
