2/10
This is essentially a compilation movie of the first series with some new animation.
Of course. we are to face the sexual tension between Kazuto and her sister/cousin Suguha over again and Asuna almost getting raped by creepy Sugou in front of Kirito. Fortunately, we are spared the tentacle monsters that capture Asuna for escaping.
The first part of the new animation is pure fanservice with Kirito's harem teaching Suguha how to swim. The second part of was considerably better, focusing on a quest, closer to the plot of the first arc's episodes

4/10
Same as the television series, A-1 Pictures spares us gracious 2DCG for what they consider their Magnum Opus.
Sound
8/10
The music of the television series is featured including Eir Aoi's Innoncence. There is also new song that for the end credtis.
Character
3/10
There is no development here other than Suguha's sudden inability to swim.
Enjoyment

Compiling a oversimplified version of the first arc, the disturbing parts of the second arc and newly animated fanservice.
