| Summary: |
King of Thorn is a science fiction survivor drama. For its most part, the story is viewed through the eyes of the two protagonists, a Japanese girl named Kasumi and, American, Marco Owen. Kasumi is introduced as one of only 160 people in the whole world who were chosen as candidates to experiment a cure against the deadly Medusa virus, a mortal disease which was running rampant in the world. Such an event is not met with joy by Kasumi, who is forced to enter treatment and cold sleep without her twin sister Shizuku, whom she cares much about.
48 hours later , however, some of those put in hibernation abruptly woke up, only to find the facility where they were supposed to be treated in a total state of decay, invaded by a lush jungles of trees and especially strange vines covered in thorns, which appear to have something of a mind on their own. Not only that, but the survivors soon discover that the entire ruin is filled with strange, dinosaur-like creatures and other monstrous aberrations of nature. Thinking that a great amount of time passed since their arrival on the island, soon the survivors discover not only that their sleep was indeed too short to label such dramatic changes as natural occurrence, but also that the situation in and of itself is far greater than they could imagine. |

If you really like the fairy tale of 'Sleeping Beauty', this movie is for you. As I am indifferent when it comes to fairy tales, that aspect really didn't do much for me. I did feel the movie was unnecessarily long and could have been condensed. However, the greatest letdown for me was the flip-flopping of animation techniques throughout the movie. All of the action scenes are done using 3d software, while the less difficult scenes are hand drawn. I would have preferred the full movie to be either or. All in all, it was a decent movie. Probably wouldn't watch it again though. =)

If you can imagine Yuri on Ice! meets Holmes of Kyoto, then this is it. Slow paced but gripping. Boy-Love but not distasteful...
