If I had to describe this in a few words, it's basically a recap of some of the events of Berserk, but with a mix of Cgi and another art form. Not to say it's a bad recap or anything, but it's only really there for those that either read the original manga or watched the original 25 episode anime that came out way earlier.
The good parts to this are that the animation is good for when it was released. Granted it's nothing too special these days, but still enough to be watchable. The scenes it does recap are pretty faithful to how they originally
...
look (Need I remind I watched the 25 episode version before I read the manga, don't quote me there.)
But the mixed parts are what drag it down for me at least. The recap scenes while faithful are missing a few important scenes that make the context make sense like leaving out a few key details around the middle and onward. But the big downfall that drags it this far are that there really isn't any reason to watch it if you already read the manga or watched the 25 episode 1997 anime. Like imagine if the Dragon Ball series had a new film coming out but it just recaps scenes of let's just say from the Frieze Sage to the Buu saga but with higher quality animation in the style of Dragon Ball Super AND skipping out on context scenes in exchange for more action.
Now the question remains, Is the film good? It's fine for what it is doing and for a Berserk fan, if you know the scenes by hand, then it's a fine watch. But for non-fans, it...might be confusing for new fans or for those that tend to forget the scenes.
