Both Interstellar and Distant Star make use of time dilation to create drama with its characters. Having recently watched Nolan’s Interstellar, I was reminded of Voices of a Distant Star, first anime feature of director Shinkai Makoto (of Garden of Words and 5 Centimetres per Second fame). Prediction of flip phones as the standard in 2046.The voice work in English is monotone for much of the time.How did the girl become an elite pilot so quickly? Where are the aliens from? What does the boy actually do? The use of CG for aliens and mechs looks out of place, never mind the ugly designs.Beautiful environmental art, especially the grand shots of the cosmos and planets.The tragic narrative hits the right emotional notes with its interesting premise.
