Intro:-
Asalamu 3laikum my brothers & sisters how are you? I hope you’re doing fine & have enjoyed the vacation that has passed…I’m back from my vacation & as promised I now give you my review of Interstella 5555 I hope you enjoy it. This movie is the result of a collaboration between manga artist Leiji Matsumoto & French house music duo Daft Punk ( Thomas Bangalter & Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo ), the first of its kind, never before have Japanese animation & music been mixed together in such a way. In the end, it turns out to be one of the most fascinating things ever produced, an animated musical
Story:-
A musical band from an alien planet is kidnapped by a mysterious figure later known as Earl de Darkwood in an attempt to make them the best musical band on earth. Meanwhile, a distress signal is sent to Shep, a commander who pilots a guitar-shaped spacecraft & a diehard fan of the band, who immediately rushes to the rescue. Will Shep ever rescue the band? Will de Darkwood’s plan succeed? Only time will tell
Characters:-

Baryl:- Drum player of the band

Sound:-
The sound is the core of the movie, not a single word of dialogue is spoken in it. Instead, the whole thing is driven by music. Each scene is represented by a track from Daft Punk’s second album titled “Discovery” which fits the action in the scene perfectly & puts you in the mood. Not one track is out of balance with its scene, this is due to the fact that the album & movie were conceived simultaneously
Artwork:-
Another important aspect is the artwork, which is absolutely amazing. The movie is filled with gorgeous scenery & top-notch animation. The influence of the 70’s & 80’s era show on the character designs, which include afros, white tuxedos & sleeve-ripped shirts. Another thing that shows is Matsumoto’s artistic style, some of the characters resemble characters from his previous works such as Battleship Yamato, Captain Herlock & Galaxy Express 999
Screenshots:-
Here, I’ll put up some screenshots I found & don’t worry my friends I’ll only put up screenshots that show part of the story I’ve already mentioned in this review, it won’t spoil the rest of the story. I’ll also include a preview of the movie’s second scene if you’re interested

Closing Comments:-
In the end, I’d first like to thank you my friends for taking the time to read my first ever review which I hope u enjoyed reading. & lastly, I’d like to say my opinion on the movie. Personally, I loved every second of it. I’ve been a Daft Punk fan ever since Discovery was released back in 2001 so you could imagine how I felt when I heard that they’d make the whole album an animated movie & not just the singles. If you’re a fan of Daft Punk or Leiji Matsumoto I strongly recommend seeing Interstella, even for those who are not fans but are familiar with Daft Punk & enjoy dance music. However, if you don’t like dance/house/techno music, I suggest you proceed with caution or don’t bother seeing it altogether
