( Showing 1-14 of 14 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted a-z )   "Fairly run-of-the-mill." -- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER   "Typical animé, with cheapo animation (like Saturday morning TV in the '60s), a complex sword-and-sorcery plot and characters who all have big round eyes and Japanese names." -- William Arnold, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER   "The idea of an ordinary slacker kid being a savior for another world may not be anything new, but Escaflowne literally gives it a new paint job." -- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE   "A fan film that for the uninitiated plays better on video with the sound turned down." -- Tim Cogshell, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE   "This beautifully animated epic is never dull." -- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE   "It is just too bad the film's story does not live up to its style." -- Robert Roten, LARAMIE MOVIE SCOPE   No review available. -- Philip Martin, ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE   "Even die-hard fans of Japanese animation ... will find this one a challenge." -- Jim Lane, SACRAMENTO NEWS & REVIEW   "Romantic, riveting and handsomely animated." -- Melanie McFarland, SEATTLE TIMES   "A 93-minute condensation of a 26-episode TV series, with all of the pitfalls of such you'd expect." -- Luke Y. Thompson, NEW TIMES Cream of the Crop FRESH 67%   "A combination of standard, stiff TV-style animation and snazzy-looking digital effects that do little to disguise the fact that the characters barely move." -- Eric Harrison, HOUSTON CHRONICLE   "A visual spectacle full of stunning images and effects." -- Tom Maurstad, DALLAS MORNING NEWS   "Its ambitiousness and artistry should satisfy discriminating fans of the anime genre." -- CHICAGO TRIBUNE --  Click to read the article. -- ARIZONA REPUBLIC   "Required viewing for anime fans." -- OREGONIAN
