The background work is incredible, and Otomo's vision is just absolutely tremendous when it's fully realized. You see, Steamboy is a visually incredible film. I've spent almost a week thinking about how to go about this review. At the center of it all: the imposing Steam Tower built in the heart of London, and its keeper: none other than Ray's father, Eddy. In his possession is a mysterious ball that his grandfather has tasked him with keeping - but the O'Hara Foundation wishes to possess it for military purposes. James Ray Steam (Ray for short) is the third in a line of genius inventors who have learned to harness steam to create powerful machines. Distributor: R1 DVD from Sony Pictures, available streaming on Roku.Ĭontent Rating: PG-13 (May contain mild bad language, bloodless violence.)Īlso Recommended: Castle in the Sky, Metropolis, Porco Rosso
