As a sort of disclaimer I'm going to say this: At the time of watching this movie, all my knowledge of the Fate/ Universe is comprised of Fate/EXTRA (which I recently started playing and have yet to finish) and Fate/Stay Night (The 2006 Anime), as well as the fact that I am aware Fate/Stay Night (The Visual Novel) is split into three routes Fate, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel. Additionally for this review until my conclusion I will pretend that Fate/Stay Night (The 2006 Anime) does not exist until I after my conclusion.
---------------------
Animation
---------------------
The animation is of good quality. That's all I have to say on this matter.
---------------------
Sound
---------------------
The soundtrack was certainly suited to when it was played in certain scenes at the right moment.
---------------------
Story
---------------------
Now for the story, on the overall the story is pretty good however at the start of the film it feels as though a person is required to have knowledge before watching it, meaning that if you wanted to know the specific details of what happens right in the beginning requires searching information up or playing the original Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel.
---------------------
Character
---------------------
The characters are almost all well developed within this film with the exception of a few who seemed like they would in fact have some form of relevance to the story, but instead they were introduced and then instantly killed a moment later. The ones that did get more screen time did seem rather well developed.
---------------------
Value/Enjoyment & Conclusion
---------------------
Time for the conclusion. This movie is something I would recommend to people to watch at this current point in time, but only if that person has any prior knowledge of the Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel, specifically of the Fate route of the game.
---------------------
Thoughts On This With Fate/Stay Night (The 2006 Anime)
---------------------
Ok so now to talk about this. I highly recommend that if you're not able to play the Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel, then go watch the 2006 adaptation of Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel's Fate route before watching this. Also it is to be noted the only reason this got a lower rating is due to the fact I believe this movie requires to have either played the Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel or watch the 2006 adaptation of the Fate route, this is primarily due to the fact that Unlimited Blade Works is a a parallel timeline that happens alongside the Fate route and as such it required to have been approached from the same point as the 2006 adaptation, so people without prior knowledge could fully understand all the points in the film.
