Let's get this straight out of the way: Yes this is essentially a recap of the first 2 Roselia Band stories from the game, with a mix of some other events etc. (it is missing many, many details from previously presented story in the game)
If you come into this movie expecting a deep story line, insane character development, etc., you will not find it here. What you will find though is a heartwarming celebration of everything that Roselia and its members stand for. As someone who plays the game and follows the story for 3+ years now, this movie served as a reminder I guess,
...
a reminder of all the amazing music and character that this band was build upon. I would not recommend it as much to people who haven't seen the stories in the game, I can see it feeling very rushed and shallow, as the pacing is a bit weird. But, for everyone else who loves this band, this is a nostalgia trip that has some of the most memorable scenes of the early Roselia days, and, even though it tries to pack a bit too much for a 1 hour movie, it still manages to capture the most important aspects of each character, their motivation, goals, personality etc. All in all a must for Roselia fans - That being said, I do not wish to discourage new fans from watching this movie; it might serve as a good starting point in the series if you don't mind missing some details. Needless to say, all the music in movie is amazing, though I would hope they could showcase a couple more songs (there is always the Film Live if you are looking to just listen to more Bang Dream music).
One final note, specially towards long time fans of the anime, is that they really improved the visuals & animations of the 3D models - it feels like they have finally found a style that works and is unique and recognizable for the series.
