5 Centimeters per Second | Rotten Tomatoes

Leprechaun K Really enjoyed this. Love the contrast between the busy life in a world city and the peacefulness of the country side. Probably my favorite Shinkai movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Audience Member I have never been more bored in my life, this was the most painful hour of my life... save yourself the trouble, of following this and watching these terribly drawn faces - unless you want to have a laugh ! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Jay W I went back to watch "5 Centimeters Per Second" after being so impressed with Makoto Shinkai's other projects. It is nice to see an artist find his footing. "5 Centimeters Per Second" follows, what else, star crossed lovers - Shinkai's usual wheelhouse. The movie is broken up into 3 distinct sections, all following a Japanese boy named Takaki Tohno through different times in his life. The first is when he is a 12-year-old experiencing his first love. The second follows him in High School years later as others pine for his affection. And the final story is when Takaki is an adult. The animation is beautiful, some of the best you're ever going to see. Makoto Shinkai has a distinct style of detailed photo realistic 2D animation that is like no other. The story borrows a lot of typical romantic tropes but presents it all in a new way. The characters are nothing special, but I really like the unique themes of the movie. Some moments, particularly towards the end, the movie gets a little pretentious. The movie is likely not going to be understood by younger viewers. There are moments where the movie feels like it is style over substance, but with style this good, who needs any substance? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Faiz D One of the best animated movies that I have ever seen. Poetic and breathtakingly beautiful over-all makes this film a must-watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Shamun Ahrar S Not bad. To be honest, the movie script seems a little bit loose to me. Which I don't expect in Sir Makoto Shinkai's movie. But, rest of the movie is fantastic. The graphics, characters, casting is always great. It's not so close to any other movies of Sir Makoto. Like Suzume, Your name or Weathering with you etc. But, This movie is good for passing your time. So, enjoy it.👍🏼 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review alexandre n I saw a fb post of a called Hayao Miyazaki about this film. Now, I feet heartless to have been so bored.
