Has anyone seen the recent (2007) "Appleseed: Ex Machina" yet?

Fantastic CGI animation - even better than the 2004 Appleseed movie!
Also, a pretty good story with some very exciting action scenes. BTW,
this was produced by none other than John Woo, and it shows. He had
some input in how the action scenes were set up.
I recently got me the 2-disc special edition from Amazon US. the first
disc has the movie itself, and some making-of stuff, consisting mostly
of interviews with the director and with John Woo.
The second disc has two main features: firstly, a history of the
Appleseed series itself, and some info on its creator, Masamune
Shirow; secondly, there's a documentary about manga & anime in
general, and its influence on the West.
All in all, a very nice package - speaking of which, it comes in a
nice Steelbook case. Highly recommended!
