Altercore: A Deathspider Story

Altercore: A Deathspider Story is a 2033 Japanese-American animated post-apocalyptic superhero film based on the animated television series Deathspider created by Mamoru Hosoda. The film was written and directed by Hosoda and stars Ashley Johnson, Will Arnett, Colin Firth, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Katherine Langford, Ian Somerhalder, Charlie Day, Miya Cech, Iain Armitage, Jordana Beatty, Tara Strong and Gillian Jacobs. Part of the Deathspider franchise, it serves as a sequel and epilogue to the television series. It continues the story of Anna Katrino, who became known throughout the series as the titular cyborg anti-hero. After a rogue AI called Apex defeated the Mythic Squad and started a nuclear holocaust, Anna went into hiding taking care of an extremely ill Marty while Rick Lawrence (who created Apex) has been living secretly in Antarctica, raising the Mythic Squad's children. When Apex finds the children, Anna must become a leader and help them to live up to their parents' legacy to stop Apex. The film received critical acclaim, with strong praise for its animation, visuals, score, emotional depth, action sequences, screenplay, uncompromising tone, thematic profundity, and the voice acting performances of Johnson, Arnett and Firth. The film was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 106th Academy Awards, but lost to Dell and Gary: The Movie.
