CoMix Wave (Japan)
Directed by Makoto Shinkai
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, GKids)
Three childhood friends, two boys and a girl, attempt to build a plane so they can visit a mysterious tower in another part of a Soviet-occupied Japan. However, before they can complete it the girl disappears and the boys pursue their own scientific careers. Years later, they find out the girl is in a coma at a government research facility and her condition is related to the tower. They reunite to finish the plane, save the girl, and possibly save the world. Convoluted anime tries to mix concepts such as parallel universes with teenage love, and mostly fails. It is beautiful to look at, however.
