David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
关于这次的“神级staff”，只能说小畑健stay，荒木尽力了，泽野发挥一般，老虚属实该滚蛋，要是回天还是搞成这个样子，就应该切腹自尽了。
除了剧情都挺好，有点虎头蛇尾了，看完之后也没啥印象。
浪费了wit这么强的制作资源啊....还真让nbht预测中了，就是仿新海诚的圈钱作品，有点心疼netflix，给日本这帮动画公司投了这么多钱，出来的玩意有一个扑一个
小美人鱼触不到的恋人。观感愉快，有如纵身一跃。
什么乱七八糟的世设，泡泡和螺旋俩高概念，搭配软末世，软启示录，软动作，软矛盾，软绵绵又不若泡泡本身破灭得利落。
看正片之前觉得这个看似宏大的世界观设定以及如此之多的角色，应该拍成TV动画更合适，看完之后感叹还好是剧场版，这么个剧本构成就算扩展成12集都救不回来，说不定拉长了反而更无聊。
故事太无聊俗套了，但是单制作就算在及格线之上了吧，评分着实有点低了
配乐和作画质量都无可挑剔，几首bgm都蛮好听的，但是剧情内核就实在太平庸了，人物动机塑造的也不够立体。
剧情可太垃了，白费如此精美的画面；配乐是非常非常喜欢；四星纯属画面与配乐。
跑酷运动凑出来两场戏，还是变成了套路爱情片，歌变成了泡沫结局是一场空。
就算是照着海的女儿翻拍也不至于拍成这样，想要消耗作画卡路里更没必要安排这么多跑酷镜头，以至于整部片子的桥段显得如此重复，莫名其妙的台词也和电影本身脱离，使得文本如此的混乱。这部电影就像是方糖放太多的咖啡一样。
三星。果然这种国家队阵容，要么神要么寄，本片很不幸滑到了寄那一栏。剧作散的一批，东一榔头西一棒槌，啥都想讲，啥都讲一点，但啥都讲不清，毫无重点和头绪，这剧情到底讲了个啥（一开始还想着老虚怎么这次那么拉，后来朋友科普说老虚一开始就甩锅了hhhh），一切都那么莫名其妙。全片全靠着WIT精致的作画，荒木哲郎标志性的“立体机动”设计和泽野弘之的配乐死撑。
完成度是顶级水平，作画和音乐的盛宴；想表达一个很不常见的主题，但在剧本上没怎么融合好
东京街头大跑酷，莫名其妙的人鱼传说，爱的战士老虚有点垮，一个小时没掉头
感觉选了一个简单又糟糕的概念来模仿新海诚？？
霸权社：用心做了，全员兵长，卡点卡得很老道
你不是新海诚，更不是岸本齐史，不要模仿他们的方式自以为是地改写安徒生。
这算是延续天气之子东京都被淹没的世界吗
莫名其妙/虽然我也不太相信老虚剧本拉成这样，但是设定与一些细节老虚的即视感真的太强了，姑且就认为老虚只参与了设定创作，因为故事讲的乱七八糟，刻画的毛都没有，节奏也是一塌糊涂，要多差有多差。跑酷做的也许确实帅吧，不太戳我，人设也没什么好谈的，美人鱼是吧…不过泽野弘之的配乐确实非常非常出彩
身上都是泡泡的美人鱼 其实画面看着有种不舒服感 看到那种密密麻麻的泡泡在身上的时候。。
