I just saw it earlier today with my dad and we both quite enjoyed it. The animation was great and the voice acting was good too. Also the story was really entertaining. I probably could nit pick a bunch of things for hours like how I noticed one of the points of Astro's hair disappear a few times (not keeping that consistent profile). But overall it was really good.

It wasn't as good as my average expectations, but hey I liked it anyway. I wouldn't have if I wasn't a fan of animation and Tezuka though. My step sister liked it a lot though, more than Metropolis in fact (but she admits Metropolis is a "better movie", so I'm not quite sure yet what she preferred from Astro).
I didn't know we were at the last minute, so we got there when Toby just disappeared. Also, as soon as I entered the room, I could tell the picture had been stretched vertically, to about an 1.85:1 ratio, but the top and bottom were also cut. Characters talking often had their head cut. I complained to a staff guy but I doubt he'll do anything about it. I wish I could enter a theater that does nothing wrong at least once in my life.
Before someone corrects BBally and I, yeah, the movie went below 50% on RT on its US release. Lots of complaints that it's too mature for kids it seems like. Well duh, it's PG. Also, when reviewers think a movie ain't good for kids, it's always a hit with them anyway.
