From the Japanese reviews blog site...couldn't have put it better myself!

"But super ultra hyper editing impression as for contents western film. As for story characteristic zero and romantic love aspiration. Making the robot freeze, “in the pizza the ketchup” mark American nonsense e.g., it retains, it fully loads. 2 hour half intently the climax CG (obsolete language?)The sound which was kneaded editing, well (with the absurd destructive scene, you use purposely small sound) with you experience. Just a little but and CG which stops being surprised quietly when you do to here, it is enormous. You blew insufficient sleep beautifully and threw. The car where the driver is not visible (crash) and the like, [omajiyushin] of the [supirubagu] movie of the past years. “You masturbate it is it is not?”However with there is a scene where the boy suspects in the mother, the boy = production team, you will read the mother = producer and will change. If you show also masturbation and have become the thing it is OK. So, as for such movie [tsu] [te] supervision what probably will be done?"
