It had several segments of computer animation, specifically the openeing
sequences and the bad-guy ships.  This animation was impressive, but the
film was depressingly childish.  The awful sense of humor and obvious
rip-off of the Star Wars trilogy are what make the film a flop.  If you
see it, be SURE not to pay more than $1 or you'll feel sorely cheated.

I suggest you see Akira again.  You'll enjoy it an Nth time much more
than you'll enjoy Lensman the first.
