The synopsis posted Shochiku Films: 

“From the creators of APPLESEED, comes a Full CG animation Sci-Fi Action film. 2077 - 10 years has passed since Japan had decided to leave the United Nations to go into isolation. They have completely blocked the islands with an ultra magnetic field which prevents anyone to see what is going inside, nor for people to travel in/out of the country. This was a result to opposing to a treaty which UN has passed, preventing the development of all bio and robot technology which has evolved drastically and has become a threat to the human beings. When Japan finally begins to move, the US government sends in a special force team SWORD, lead by a female commander Vexille, to investigate what is really happening inside the closed country.”

It looks interesting enough but I hope they put as much effort into the story as they did into the visuals. *cough*  Appleseed *cough*

The footage was from a Japanese variety show that appears to measure people's reactions to what they're viewing which explains the picture-in-picture shown in the upper right corner.  Most of them don't seem to be overly thrilled about Vexille.

You can check out the official Vexille site for screen shots.
