This shall be my first review, and I'll try to keep it short.

I was expecting on watching a "recap" movie of the series, and that was what I got. Yet I was still disappointed.

Story - 6
Can't say that it felt rushed, but the pacing of the first half and the usual "explaining everything" just reduced the immersion even more compared to the original.

Art - 6
For better and worse, updated and reworked graphics. Personally I prefer the old version.
The CGI cars here are definitely level-upped, but still in the middle ground of Good and Bad.
I could say the old CGI was so "bad" that it actually ... was slightly good. No feelings here.

Sound - 3
No Eurobeat = No Hype = Not Good (driving)

Character - 3
They changed all Seiyûs
I actually even missed Itsuki's stupid sound. It really was a part of his character.

Enjoyement - 4
I noticed getting slightly bored and aiming my attention somewhere else during the movie.
Considering the 2 above sections, and especially due to the change in Seiyûs, I sadly won't be watching the sequels.

Overall - 5
If you liked the TV series, and want to try recapping, you can try.
It won't be the same.
If you're new to Initial D, watch the TV series, seriously. This movie is a lie
