Scarlett is even less interesting as we learn almost nothing about her either. There just isn’t enough development of his past or personality to make him all that compelling or memorable. He is heroic and idealistic and very much a standard and predictable character type for this kind of story.

It reminds me a lot of a Jules Verne style story. The movie also does a wonderful job in building a Victorian Age fantasy with amazing steam powered machines of all types. The battles and action scenes are marvelous to watch and the CGI effects are wonderfully embedded within the animation. Fans of action will have a lot to like here. There is a lot of very good action in Steamboy however. Maybe I am being to idealistic but I want the bad guys to get their just deserts, and Steamboy didn’t leave me feeling that they had. Also it didn’t feel like any of the villainous characters ever really faced any consequences for their actions and the only people hurt were the innocents they stepped on throughout the story. The story has lofty goals but by the time the movie ends, I found myself confused about what actually happened and what the purpose of the whole thing was. grandfather he soon finds himself chased by villains who want it for themselves.

After he receives a mysterious package from his The story centers around the boy Ray Steam, who is an inventor from a family of inventors. If you've seen any adventure stories before then the overall premise is going to feel very familiar to you. The plot of Steamboy is really nothing all that original. But in the end it fails to really deliver those ambitious goals. It certainly has high production values and some incredible CGI effects and action. Steamboy is intended to be one of those grand adventure stories set in fantastical world with pure hearted heroes and nefarious villains.
