Summary: Think the movie The Cell with a little Matrix throw in
Comment: This was a great movie. I am a big anime fan but not usually too big on this style of animation or this type of anime.
The premise of the movie is that a device has been developed that can be used to give people therapy through their dreams (think the movie The Cell). When one of these devices gets stolen suddenly strange things start happening. What happens if a dream becomes a virus and spreads? Suddenly everyone thinks their dreams are reality and their dreams become reality (a bit of the Matrix here).
This is something that could only be done with animation. The movie can get a tad bit confusing at times as to what is real reality and what is the dream reality. Towards the end of the movie it is impossible to distinguish between the two; but that's really the point.
The animation was very good, although not my favorite style. The style was a bit too bright and childlike for what I normally like. The writing was very well done as was the storyline.
The movie kept you hanging on until the end, holding your breath as to what would happen.
The really special thing about this movie is the greater question it asks the watchers. If everyone believes something is reality does that make it real? If you are the only person who knows that the current reality isn't real what does that make you?
This was an entertaining and thought provoking movie.

Summary: I HATE ANIME but loved Paprika!
Comment: Totally great fun - also great for people who might not ordinarily do anime, like me. Definitely not in the least predictable.
basic, basic plot: Prototype machine used by psychotherapists to access clients' dreams for treatment gets stolen, hallucinogenic havoc ensues with dreams going haywire for everyone. Who's behind it, and why?
The animation is beautiful, and the colors are lovely. I caught the regular DVD, not high-def, and I was very happy with it. Good subtitles. It's a bit sci-fi but I think the mystery of dreaming - and the hope that dreaming holds some key to our own internal issues - is universally appealing, so don't be put off by the machine stuff.
nudity: Some nudity which occurs in a threatening situation, but nothing x-rated or sketchy. I'd say 12 and up, if you want to show it to a kid.

Summary: Leaves you speachless
Comment: Rarely do you see a movie that just takes you breath away. I was left sitting in my living room just sitting in the dark after the credits rolled. It must have been 5 min. where I was just staring off into space when finaly I said "WOW!!". Truly amazing. Great story, amazing animation, superb sound track. As soon as the opening title rolled I knew this was something special. Buy it! Share it! Watch it over and over!
