The story begins with Deunan Knute, a soldier who keeps fighting even though the third world war already ended.  She gets taken to the new Utopia, Olympus.  Here, the bioroids live together in peace with the few humans left on earth.  Deunan also finds her ex-boyfriend Briareos living in this city, but he has become a cyborg.  Deunan makes friends with a girl named Hitomi, who later declares that she is a bioroid.  However, not all is as good as it seems.  The ordinary army of humans wants to destroy all bioroids.   The super unit Gaia that has been developed to help the seven old members of the council to make good decisions, can’t seem to make a decision.  It is up to Deunan to rediscover her past and so help Olympus to become the real new utopia. 

I really liked this movie.  The story was good and the art was magnificent.  This wasn’t the first 3d movie I’ve seen but it was definately the best.  The backgrounds looked so realistic that at some moments I started wondering if they were real or computer animated.  The characters are made less realistic, but I didn’t find that disturbing, they were still very nicely done and at least it gave me the feeling I was watching an anime.
