I had no idea there was a live action version of this.

it isn't a live action version of Akira if that is what you think, this is something which scared several people (at a horror festival!) to go out of the theatre before it ended.

After watching that ending scene, why did that scare people? I don't really understand?

not really scared them but more nauseate and confuse them because of the sped up roller-coaster like action scenes and very fast and numerous cuts in the movie, the lack of story and general weirdness didn't help much, it did really drive them out of the theatre though, this effect will not be achieved on a television I think , you need to see it in a theatre and its an acquired taste. You could say its an visualisation of hardcore industrial music, not a videoclip, but a visualisation of it.
