Elijah G @VideoRebel72 Feb 14, 2026 This movie is brilliant, well the animation at least. I blends well with the CGI, but the story seems forced. It's like the idea was created to make a Steampunk film, and they just threw the plot together. More like writing as you go along, without any plan for a plot, a beginning, middle and end. Just when you think the end is coming, more monologues, so many characters. I can't keep up. The character of Scarlet is pointless and adds nothing to the story. One guy is bad, then ends up being good, it's just everywhere. This movie relies on it's visuals and animation, but leaves very little to think about and it's message gets lost in it's pointless plot. I often leave it on in the background, but it doesn't catch my attention. I end up doing things around the house while it's on.

When one boy's father creates a virtually unlimited steam engine, everyone attempts to get their hands on it. I've yet to see Akira (I know, shameful) but I was impressed by this film built of steampunk inspiration. It questions ethics and responsibility not thoroughly but well enough. A visual treat for sure.

Is up to him to avoid the latter. Pretty cool story and the animation is superb 🍿🍿🍿🍿/5 on Prime See more Jay W @RT52162311 Jun 13, 2025 "Steamboy" follows James Steam, and his father, Eddie Steam and grandfather Lloyd Steam. The latter two had invented a ball that releases an endless supply of steam. The steam from that ball powers their steam engines. As the movie starts, there is too much steam coming out of the pipes, and they try to adjust the valves to control the steam, but the steam breaks the pipes, releasing steam everywhere. The only way this movie could be more "steam" is if I was watching it on my steam deck while taking a hot shower and having some steamed hams from Albany.
