[Please let this be a rumour] Akira plot summary

[mameks]

Kaneda is a bar owner in Neo-Manhatten who is stunned when his brother, Tetsuo, is abducted by government agents led by The Colonel. Desperate to get his brother back, Kaneda agrees to join with Ky Reed and her underground movement who are intent on revealing to the world what truly happened to New York City thirty years ago when it was destroyed. Kaneda believes their theories to be ludicrous but after finding his brother again, is shocked when he displays telekinetic powers. Ky believes Tetsuo is headed to release a young boy, Akira, who has taken control of Tetsuo's mind. Kaneda clashes with The Colonel's troops on his way to stop Tetsuo from releasing Akira but arrives too late. Akira soon emerges from his prison courtesy of Tetsuo as Kaneda races in to save his brother before Akira once again destroys Manhattan island, as he did thirty years ago.

I had always hoped that this would die ever since I heard who was directing it.

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

I actually want to this happen; looks like it could provide a few laughs.

 

[Hadrian]

Its such a bad plot line that it could possibly be a modern "anime" movie plot line!

 

[Veho]

Is it bad that I'm imagining all the characters played by the cast of How I Met Your Mother?

Buy it, scum

Nope, that'd be awesome

 

[raulpica]

Neo-Manhattan? I wonder why he isn't called "Kent" and his brother "Trent" or something!

 

[smile72]

This just sounds evil!!!!!!!!

 

[KingVamp]

Maybe I need to watch the movie again because that not how I remembered it.

Going to re-watch regardless...

 

[notmeanymore]

This is like DB Evolution. It looks like shit, it sounds like shit we knew for months it was going to be shit, and watched it anyway.

Something tells me I should watch Akira before the Live-Action release so I know what the hell people are complaining about.

 

[chyyran]

lol, "Kaneda"

That plot seems like it was written by a fifth-grader that watched too many action movies.

YEA, Another timeless classic ruined by Hollywood. Nothing to see here.
