Why it is worth watching
I'd recommend it for its atmosphere, its tension and a military crisis told with much more insight than a robot show.
Original title: Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor 2: the Movie
The date is 2002, three years after the events of PATLABOR 1 – Mobile Police. The destruction of a United Nations Labor team in South East Asia begins the build-up to a deadly terrorist plan that threatens to send shockwaves throughout Japan's milita…ry. With evidence of an impending military takeover, the scattered members of the original SVD (Special Vehicle Division) must gather to defend the city against danger. To make matters worse, the mastermind behind the operation is none other than Nagumo's former teacher and ex-lover Tsuge.

It's a good fit if you're looking for political thriller, realistic science fiction and slow pace.
What sets it apart from other mecha films is that the robots are a secondary piece of a very believable political crisis: ask if Japan calls peace when others fight far away.
