This is a kind of "blockbuster" romance movie, totally aimed at today's younger audience: so on the positive side this movie isn't bad, the negative: it isn't very good either - or, more correctly, it doesn't surprise.
A kind of nerdy guy without friends (nevertheless good-looking and sympathetic) who lives in Tokyo in a picturesque penthouse who works at a burger-hut and studies physics. So yeah, even if he also has no problem to dance with girls and buy his girlfriend lots of clothing he is lonely.
In comes better-looking girl no. 1 who falls for him immediately. Quite logical, if you don't try to figure out, who was the first girl anyway...
Consequently he falls for her (who wouldn't) but she leaves to the future after an evening of fun.
In comes girl no. 2, which his future self constructed to protect him and some people and needs emotional advice (yeah, right!).
So she does save a kid, a school class and some young football-players. Including a kind of time-travel with lonesome boy to his youth (grandma & cat). After that Tokyo gets destroyed (it's a Japanese flick after all!). Cyborg saves boy but gets destroyed in the process.
Yawn.
Lucky him, girl no. 1 from future no. 2 appears and - after getting mind-blasted with memories of cyborg - they live happily ever after (she seems to be a rich gal, too, how convenient).
Some Terminator scenes and too much kids - I think for the girls out there to much action stuff (how romantic can a cyborg be?), for the boys: to few (and she doesn't undress either).
So, watchable but not very imaginative. The relationship part is very underdeveloped, a love story between an emotionless cyborg and a human could be interesting, or if cyborg can feel emotions is it programmed all the way? And would that be "real"? There is much potential which gets neglected for boring child-saving activities and "fun" scenes.
Technically the movie is OK, but I think there is too much people throwing for a weepy.
Questions: Why does girl no. 1 eat tons of stuff? Why eat cyborg tons of stuff? And the final question: why did cyborg bring cat from childhood to lonely boy witch gets killed immediately in the earthquake?!
