"This is a truly amazing film--demanding, yes, but so is all great art. Stick with it and you will be amply rewarded. But why is this film only available on dvd in Europe and Asia? Region coding = mindless greed."

Fantastic In All Areas

""Eureka" is one of those films most people would not sit through because of it's near 4 hour length. Forget time, the sit is worth it for this superior Japanese Foreign Film. Exquisively acted and directed, "Eureka," is a film you don't want to miss.The story revolves around a brother and sister, and a busdriver, all who survived a busjacking. They eventually all three end up together because of tragic circumstances, along with the siblings' cousin for the ride. Though it moves slow, it feels as if you're with them, watching everything they see, and feel. It's the kind of movie you have to pay close attention to in order to be rewarded with it's unexpected ending. The only thing that may make keep you from watching it, besides it's length, is it's thematical material. It is extremely depressing, no happiness, until the end, even though it is still very depressing. Great cinematograpy, camera work, acting, direction, music, sound, and what else can I say, but that Eureka, is in deed, a classic"

Love for a hijacker

"No, I don't regret having spent over 3 and 1/2 hours in the movie theater. It was no sacrifice, but yielding so much in return. I never got bored during this time, although the film can hardly be called very suspenseful.What made me forget the time and relish the story, was the mood created between those four persons, who are so different, but connected by a horrible reminder of a bloody bus hijacking. Missing every assistance of their own relatives, they find together to a new family, helping each other, very slowly regaining the courage of life, until finally, during the last five minutes of the film, the monochrome switches to color, emphasizing the optimistic end.It's a calm story of friendship and amicable love, of trust in the sense of life and of forgiveness, it's the kind of movie I never forget.How touching are the 2 scenes, when the girl enumerated the people for whom she was praying: her deceased dad, her gone mom, her brother in prison, her friend the bus driver, and among all these mostly beloved persons, exactly at the third place, she mentioned the dead bus hijacker, so as to care for the soul of this man who had scared her to death and had killed so many innocent passengers."

Correction: NO SOUNDTRACK included!

"I just want to note that Amazon is incorrect in stating that this comes with a soundtrack - it does NOT. What you see in the picture is what you get. That being said, it's still a pretty good deal. Usually a DVD w/ an artbox will cost about $35, and the manga $10 ... so you get both of those, plus a shirt. Not bad. The box can actually be used to hold 6 of the DVD's (in case you are collecting the series and have not purchased a limited edition version yet, like myself!)



The shirt is a size large. The manga is the final volume. If you are a Eureka Seven fan, this is quite a good deal!"
