Kai and Little Boy in Heavens: The Boy and His Robot
The Big Picture Mecha films, featuring a protagonist operating a large robotic vehicle that's often humanoid in shape, are a far more prolific sub-genre in anime than in live-action features. Although the nature and details of the mechs vary wildly, mecha populate such esteemed series like the Gundam franchise,Neon Genesis Evangelion, or Knights of Sidonia, each series spinning off a simple premise: there's a powerful enemy, and we need to drive powerful robots to fight it.
Release Date November 17, 2023 Director Rich Ho Cast Jonathan See , Kenny Woo Kah Weng , Tan Hsien Jin , Rich Ho , Desmond Yeo , See Jason , Gavan Leong , Nelson Xiao Qiang Lee Runtime 95 Minutes Main Genre Adventure Writers Rich Ho Expand What is 'HEAVENS: The Boy and his Robot' About? HEAVENS: The Boy and His Robot takes place in a near future where advancements in technology have allowed humanity to take its place among the stars.
The core of the narrative, Kai's path into the Corps and his relationship with Little Dragon, is easily the film's heart. Jonathan See plays the neophyte recruit with intelligence, befitting the character's journey and believably landing the weight of Kai's family legacy and his sense of doubt over his own abilities. He has a lot of heart, sells the emotional beats, and there's a charming, often humorous dynamic with Little Dragon that works well.
HEAVENS: The Boy and His Robot builds a world that could be worth visiting again in future outings. There’s a lot that can be done with a live-action franchise that sports solid-looking mechs and brings the promise of interstellar warfare. Still, there's a distinction to be made between the promise of the overall project and the success of this particular entry.
