Moving story as always, Miyazaki never disappoints. It's a film about the wickedness and stubbornness of humans. Poor music and audio effects though. The ending could have been better.

After falling in love with My Neighbour Totoro by this same anime director, I decided to see if Nausicaa is just as great. And it is, but in a totally different way. It requires some fantasy on the viewer's part, and has a steampunk sciencefiction backstory, which will make it less approachable to some viewers. This imaginary world dragged me into an epic struggle, where a young girl is forced to chose between her friends or her passion, between fighting or surrendering and between her country or her life. (For connaisseurs: it's like Dune). A wild ride follows where the girl finds her way and I was on the edge of my seat. At times the message to follow your heart, be eco and 'make love not war' was a bit overdone, but this epic story was so exciting and delivered that message so strongly that it deserved to be a bit preachy. Amazing imaginary world crafting, beautifully drawn, a powerful message and just a great story. It sucked me right in and I'll be watching this over and over.

Watched this movie in 2024, a time when global warming is a major issue and gaining more attention. Miyazaki envisioned and warned us 40 years ago about the worsening destruction of nature and the interconnectedness of humans and the Earth through a beautifully animated film.

Studio Ghibli's unofficial first release brings us environmental warnings wrapped in the context of a world war. The famed Japanese animation house wouldn't actually come into being until immediately after _Nausicaä_, but all the important pieces are here and the experience of working toget More

Non stop violence in a post apocalyptic earth, this is so much more anime than Ghibli. It isn't actually a true Ghibli film but is often marketed as such. It's style is very different to that usually associated with Ghibli. If you're expecting 'My Neighbour Totoro', you'll be disappointed. I like Gh More
