Plot was good but a little confusing. Lot of questions were unanswered even at the end. Instead of a bound script they should have make it simple. But overall It was a decent movie.

Intriguing Sci-Fi Plot, But Drowned in Execution:

This movie follows Hiroki and Takuya, two boys working on building a plane to fly over a tower to uncover its mysteries. Sayuri, intrigued by their adventure, wishes to join them and experiences vivid dreams. The film explores whether they successfully built the plane, whether they discovered what was happening in the tower, and the significance of Sayuri's dreams.

The movie starts well with a good setup of the world, the nation's state, and the sci-fi element. In the school portion, the three characters, Hiroki, Takuya, and Sayuri, with their interactions, relationships, etc., were good. The story moves slowly, and much doesn't happen as their life after 3 years is portrayed in the movie. The government's portrayal was well enough as they handled the tower. The love between Hiroki and Sayuri is good, but not a strong enough feel for them in the climax.

The voice acting was good as I watched it in English. The animation and frame were amazing and stunning. The music was decent and used well. The pacing of the movie looks slow, which tests my patience.

In conclusion, the movie is fine, as some things are intriguing, but it failed at certain points.

Love this movie. A bit slow, but the world setting and aesthetic is great.
