Scrambled Thoughts takes a look at Appleseed Alpha. Appleseed Alpha serves as a reboot to the Appleseed film series as well as an adaptation of the first chapter of Masamune Shirow's Appleseed manga. Deunan and Briareos, return to help cyborgs, Olson and Iris escape from the clutches of the evil Talos. While simultaneously avoiding the mercenary Two-Horns. Stepping away from the Cyberpunk feel of Appleseed (2004) and Appleseed Ex Machina (2007), Appleseed Alpha (2014) is a more stripped down straight forward version of the franchise. The movie steps away from the series' manga and anime roots and creates a film that's closer to classic 80's action (Road Warrior, Commando).
