Having read nothing but good things about this movie, I decided to add it to my movie collection, so I purchased it from Amazon. And it was with a high amount of expectation that I sat down to watch the movie.
And now that I have seen it, I sit here with a somewhat disappointing taste in my mouth. The movie was not really all that great as it was hyped up to be. At least not in my opinion.
The story is about Nozomi, a blow-up sex doll, who comes to life and starts exploring the world taking in every single experience for the first time.
I will say that the storyline was interesting, but it just left too many plot holes open and it also had too many things going on where you would wonder just how would that come to be or why wouldn't anyone notice that something fishy was going on. In overall, then the storyline tried to accomplish a bit too much compared to what it delivered.
What made the movie work for me, at least, was the images and the cinematography. The movie was really beautifully shot, and it was quite dynamic. There are some really nice shots in the movie.
As for the acting, well they had some good enough people on the cast list, but I wouldn't really say that there was anything outstanding here. Good performances all around.
On a different note, then the movie does come off as interesting in the sense that some people actually do have these 'real dolls' and treat them as actual people. Which, to me, is just hilarious, and the movie does tackle this strange phenomena in a nice enough manner.
"Air Doll" has a semi-fun story to tell, but it is the type of movie that you watch once, and don't pick it up again at a later time, because the movie just doesn't have that much to offer.
