Some people might get it and some people won't, which by the way has an official title (Knockin' on Heaven's Door). This movie definitely caters to a certain sophisticated kind of science fiction. In a way I think the movie is a bit imbalanced in regards to settings and soundtrack, but the story is rock solid. Keep in mind this is anime and this movie is done in a very Japanese way. Cinematic Japanese techniques I mean... not your standard anime clichés.
What I mean by Japanese cinema is certain things are done to draw you in the movie like for instance scenes having a lack of any background music when you would usually hear some or more attention to details such as day-to-day life. These techniques really help draw you in the world the movie sets out to create. American films are sorely lacking in these kinds of theater experiences. Fortunately Cowboy Bebop isn't. It's not an action movie, but when the few action scenes do come on get ready to be blown away.
You are really drawn into the settings. I really like that in a movie. The only problem is the Bebop universe is a bit dual natured... a little too dual natured for my tastes. You start the movie flying in from space with some really whiz tech and everything. Then when you hit the planet everything is as if you're in almost modern-day time. Pretty much the only time you see anything sci-fi looking is when the airplanes come out, which by the way is not only cool ships but some of the most exciting scenes in the movie.
I have to tilt my head in confusion over the soundtrack. The first part of the movie has some trendy rock music going, which isn't all that impressive for the movie if you ask me. It just didn't fit right. However there are scenes that have your classic Bebop frenzied jazz. Now that's a better fit!
I can't really say this movie is just for the Cowboy Bebop fan, as it seems to have enough background information to keep the new viewers from being left out. If you like being drawn into a movie, with all of its sights and sounds, then you find such a movie here. If you action buffs and be patient enough the movie will aim to please you too. I will admit this movie is not for every sci-fi fan, but it's worth watching for the experience.

After renting this (I was so glad I didn't buy it) I thought: "Nan-dai?!" This movie smelled like a bloated episode, and the ending of an invincible villain who finally became "vincible" was way too slick for me. Yeah, it had an assortment of characters, but they didn't relate to each other, and they all seemed to be "free agents" out to make a quick buck. It just seemed determined to mix as many themes as possible: Middle Eastern; Western; babes; Blade Runner; etc. Barf, barf,
Give me Fifth Element any day.

Cowboy Bebop: The Movie takes place between the episodes "Cowboy Funk" and "Brain Scratch." The film takes place around Halloween of 2071, and the film sees an explosion of a tanker truck that releases a deadly virus that kills hundreds of people. After a large bounty is placed on the person behind the attack, the crew of the Bebop try to capture the bounty. During their search, they meet new allies and enemies. The film feels like an extended version of a regular Cowboy Bebop episode. The film is able to delve into more character development, as well as provide the extended action sequences.
The DVD extras are definitely better than what you get on the regular episode DVDs. On this DVD, there are featurettes, storyboard comparisons, character biographies, conceptual art galleries, music videos, and trailers.
Overall, this is an enjoyable film for fans of Cowboy Bebop. However, a viewer needs to already have some familiarity with the property in order to enjoy it. I would definitely recommend this release to anyone that is a fan of Cowboy Bebop.

Cowboy Bebop was one of the first animes I have ever watched when I was about 8 years old, (as a naive kid) I used to watch the series just cuz the action scenes were so freakin' cool, but now that I'm older I can fully understand what they're talkin about. Cowboy Bebop is directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (Samurai Champloo, Macross Plus, Animatrix) one of my alltime favorite anime directors. What seperates this series from other anime series is the amount of diversity; usually an anime series is pretty 1-dimensional whether its just about mechs, action, romance but, Cowboy Bebop is very different from other animes. The one thing I like about Shinichiro Watanabe is that he isn't 1-dimensional, if you notice Cowboy Bebop is a mixture of 1)cool jazz music hence 'Bebop' 2) old western movies with bounty hunters hence 'Cowboy' 3)space battles like from Star Wars 4) and plenty of action and humor. This is why Cowboy Bebop is so famous because it could reach a lot of different people.
NOW the movie itself is incredible in my opinion, fans from the series should be used to the style of Bebop, the atmosphere, music, and even the voice actors from the series is the same in the movie except the only difference is that it is presented into a movie format. The story takes place like the series, the Bebop crew is after for money going for the smallest easiest bounties just so they can have enough money to afford some food, until a guy name Vincent comes out whose goal is to spread a virus killing all in sight, and the Bebop crew takes matter into thir own hands and plans to stop Vincent from doing just that. As always in Cowboy Bebop everything is balanced out very well the music by "Yoko Kanno" is as always incredible, the action and espacially martial arts fight scenes with Spike is always entertaining and you can actually learn somthing from just watching him fight. The story is exceptional, but It kind of feels like an extended episode from the series. The movie is worth a buy in my watch and deserves to be in everybodies library.

As with the Cowboy Beebop series, this is another nicely done movie-style animation with it's own complete storyline. You don't have to watch the Cowboy Beebop series to completely appreciate this great film. It raises the bar on American animation and storytelling definitely.
