If you're a fan of SAO, please do yourself a favour and catch the movie in theatres. The action-packed animation film definitely looks better on the big cinema screen than your home theatre system and the sound effects, especially at the start when my chairs LITERALLY shook from the rumbling though it was not overly loud, really makes it worth the while!
*SPOILER ALERT* Review contains spoilers
SAO is all about an innovative game and virtual world so obviously some plots in the story may seem familiar but the overall character and story development did not disappoint! It really had a good mix of action-packed, romance, slice
...
of life, humour and touching sad scenes (the kind that may result in a tearful tug at the heart, not the all-out bawling heart-breaking drama type).
The story doesn't also shows Kirito in a different light, making it clear that RL Kirito may have spent 2.5yrs living a life of a hero, but may not naturally behave like one when he's back in the real world. (Pls trace back to characters' background in SAO series to understand the characters better, if you have not).
A teeny weeny bit disappointed by the imba god-like ulti swing of the all-mighty sword to clear the entire place. Like, seriously?! But I get how the movie _had_ to end already because of time (and probably budget) constraint.
Still, I really enjoyed this movie and wouldn't mind re-watching it again because it was that enjoyable!
4.5/5
