Mixed Feelings
In one word: meh. If I said that season 2 was disappointing because it was just like watching a rerun, this one is disappointing because it's nothing like the original Psycho-Pass. It's more like your standard American action movie, they just need to add Bruce Willis to the voice cast for perfection.

The movie explains that Japan is the only functioning country in the world, due to the Sybil system, and the rest of the world is just one big warzone with no functioning governments. Japan is leading an effort to stabilize the region by having Sybil remotely manage foreign countries as well, starting with the South East Asian Union, which was in the middle of a bloody civil war. After a terrorist attack in Japan, which appears to have originated in the SEAU, and with a possible sighting of the escaped enforcer Shinya Kougami in the area, inspector Akane Tsunemori heads to the SEAU to asset how Sybil manages the area, who is behind the terrorist attack in Japan and hopefully catch Kougami while at it.
Whether it sounds interesting or not, from the point where Tsunemori arrives in the SEAU there's hardly anything in the movie similar to Psycho-Pass, apart form the occasional mention - it's basically just a war between a ruling junta and guerilla fighters, just explosions and guns. We've all seen dozens if not hundreds of movies exactly like that.

Anyway, if you're just looking for the casual "let's watch people kill each other" movie, go ahead, or you might as well just watch "Die Hard" again. If you're looking for anything unique, you won't find it here.

Art - Same as the TV anime so it gets the same score. Sound is excellent, especially if you have a 5.1 system.
