All I can say is awesome, awesome, awesome. This movie was incredibly good. I saw the English version a long time ago but it is missing about an hour of the movie. One thing to comment on is if your expecting this to be the manga on big screen your wrong. They are 2 completely different stories. The reason for this is that Hayao Miyazaki had to compress the epic manga series into about 2.5 hours. So a lot is missing but the movie is still phenomenal and adds a whole new perspective to Nausicca. The manga is still far better than the movie. And for the complete experience you need to have both. Well the movie is about Nausicaa a princess from the valley of the wind. It’s very hard to summarize the movie in any kinda small spoiler free way. Well I’ll just have to give the basics then. Well Nausicca is outside the valley and rescues and old friend Master Yupa, They return to the valley of the wind. Then a Torumekian plan crashes in the valley. Everyone is killed but the cargo is left behind. The cargo was a God Warrior one of the beings that burned the old world to the ground in the seven days of fire. Then the Torumekians move into the valley and it is caught in their fight against that people of Pejeti and the insects of the wasteland. Anyhow the score done by Joe Hisashi is incredible I loved it. It was prefect and matched the movie completely. The story was absolutely amazing. The animation was also incredible especially for it’s time. Overall a perfect movie a true 
masterpiece
