I was just about to begin the new (and final) season of Shingeki no Kyojin, when a realisation struck me - I had forgotten much of what was going on in the series. Then I remembered I planned on watching a recap movie to get myself back on track. So I stopped the first episode within the first minute and went on to watch this movie. It's not bad for a recap of 3 seasons. Things go by at a rapid pace, being surprisingly engaging. Certain moments naturally lack the punch they usually have without the proper set-up, but I did find myself very emotionally invested in some iconic scenes. I see no point in discussing the series of events or the characters, as this should only be watched for what it is - a recap. It fares fairly well in this regard. SnK's world is fascinating to me, but often confusing. Some things I am still puzzled about, though I managed to recall all that I needed. I somewhat wish there was more focus on the details regarding the lore rather than some of the events, but I can't think of any pointless scenes in the film, so I suppose they fit all they reasonably could. For what it is, SnK: Chronicle is a good movie. I enjoyed getting a quick glimpse at one of my favourite series before I watch it end.
