Story: 9.5/10
Nitpicking here, there were some pacing problems in the initial first half which was a bit slow. However the long background and exposition with history of how the three magical clan heads came together to do something was well done. It's hard not to give away spoilers but Shiro is a LOT smarter than his "fool hero" behavior would have you believe, he constantly surprised me with his quick thinking and superb decision making abilities which is what kept the story fresh. Tactics wise, he is talented. I had some questions about the ending which I'm hoping someone who's played the game can answer but overall this was good story telling.
Art: 10/10
Wow. Just Wow. This is top notch animation. The peach blossoms. The grass. The waves coming to meet the shore. The wind blows and you can see individual strands of hair moving around. The fight choreography. There's nothing to criticize, this is top tier eye candy.
Sound: 10/10
The sound effects and music were excellent and fitting for every scene and some of the epic music and the ending song are also good. I expect this OST to sell very well.
Character: 10/10
This is the pinnacle of character development. Shiro is now a master tactician and not just the reckless hero from Fate/Stay Night or Unlimited Blade Works. His decisions in this arc are the best decisions he could have made. Some were so genius they left me open mouthed, especially his plan with Rider, which is one of the pinnacles of the movie. Kotomine manages to defeat one opponent using what is essentially an exorcism, which reminds everyone he IS a priest after all. Rin ... does a 180 turn at the most interesting moment. And Sakura has gone from irrelevant and forgettable to one of the key characters in this route. Very well done.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I binged the second and third Heaven's Feel movies in 1 night. They were excellent entertainment and I would be happy to watch them again.
Overall: 10/10
Worth watching on the largest screen possible. I would have happily watched this in theaters if those in my area were to re-open. Highly recommended, but might not be as good for those who aren't fans of the Fate Series.
