Story
First of all, if you're coming into this film expecting this series to conclude/to see every remaining plot point get resolved, then you're in for a rue awakening, however this film managed to play on some plot points from the first season as well as to throw in its own kick to it
The story takes place in a foreign country outside of Japan and I can't speak for anyone else here but personally, one of the questions that I had during and after watching the first season was exactly how would the Sybil System fare in another country and this film direct addressed this. Urobutcher being the man he is decided to take things up a notch and created a situation in which the system was tasked with settling conflicts due to lingering effects of political and civil war.
Even though the concept behind this film is interesting and enjoyable, the outcome of certain events were pretty much predictable, however be that is it may, the film did manage to execute it's established plot points pretty well primarily due to its main cast and the conflict
Characters
In short, this film mainly focused on Akane, Kogami and both sides of the playing field in this new country with everyone else getting minor roles and limited amounts of screen time. The biggest con that I had with the film leaned towards the antagonists who sadly ended up being the standard group of villains that are trying to gain large amounts of power and quite frankly, they ended up.being very forgettable. But I will give credit to the fact that the antagonists (Mainly the mercenaries) were very menacing and added a lot of much appreciated suspense and intensity to the film
Other characters such as the Sybil System and Division 1 were all showcased exactly how they were in previous seasons but with minor roles however I will say that the breakthrough performer in this group was Gino - The man was a complete boss in this film. Still their work together is always a joy to see and the film captured the essence of an everyday active mission in the lives of Division 1.....Credit also goes to Shion whom also played a more active role in the film along side Gino (Mika is still pretty annoying but what's worse is that now she has a lot of sass)
As I stated earlier, Akane and Kogami were the main focus of this film and both of their sub plots and joint dynamic were handled very well. Akane's development from the previous seasons remained in tact and the film perfectly showcase the drive, determination and detective skills that Akane has gained as well as her ever so strong denial of the harsh methods made by Sybil. Kogami was exactly the same but even though the character went through some interesting changes, what made Kogami such an interesting character was his tactical skills, personality and combat prowess and that was more than showcased in this film
A certain individual from S1 that ended up solidifying their place as one of the best antagonists in anime history ended made a cameo in this film and said person's influence and actions lingered into the film and affected certain events and characters
Art/Sound
It's more than obvious to see that Production IG really went all out with this film and managed to get a very high budget because the art and animation were completely fluid, there were no drops in frame rates and the backgrounds and lighting + camera work were all 10/10. Thankfully the original character designs stayed the same but more detailed and the new characters looked decent as well
The sound was equally as epic however there was one thing that didn't pan out too well, and that was all of dat Engrish.....Never in my life of watching anime have I seen so much pure English dialogue that for the most part sounded really bad. However, I feel like Hana Kana did a good job at it, Ko's was decent enough too....The Japanese voice acting was pretty decent though.
The OST consisted of new tracks that completely grasped the essence of Psycho Pass as well as already established and new mixes of tracks from the first season. The film also has a great OP song showcased in the PV that was made by the group that did the OP's for the first and second season and lastly, the icing on the cake came in the form of the ED song being Namae no Nai Kaibutsu (ED 1 of Season 2) by the ever so talented EGOIST
Enjoyment/Overall
Even though the story wasn't anything groundbreaking what truly made this film shine was the amazing action scenes and the character interactions with one another and how they made the plot move and more engaging. If I were to take out my own personal enjoyment, I would rate this film somewhere between an 8-8.5/10 however, this film had me on the edge of seat from beginning to end and I really enjoyed seeing some of the things that I love about this series in general so as such, I'm gonna give this film an......
9/10
