Mars, while not being very deep, was a fun and warm sci-fi flick shot in a rather unusual style. Here is a clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DASBmOnuCI
It’s streaming free on Netflix in US at least. (IMDB ratings are way lower than mine, so caveat emptor).
In general it seems to me there is an omission in the movie spectrum—I think a lot more good movies can be produced in anime style based on high-quality niche sci-fi (I’m thinking of things like MOPI or Watts’ Blindsight). There is too much anime with good production values that I just can’t watch because it’s silly. Hi-quality Anime episodes run about 200K, I imagine you can put together a movie for around 1M.
