I don't even know what to say. Perfect balance. The pacing is great, the visuals and the story are well adapted. (even including Mito) Music from Yuki Kajiura, as usual Godtear. If you are a fan of the franchise, then this is one hundred percent win. But even for people unfamiliar with original anime it will be interesting, or even become the door to the franchise.
I went to see the movie with a friend of mine who stopped watching SAO on the first season and he really liked to.
The relationships of the characters who try to grasp the reality of the death-game concept are interesting. The atmosphere of pressure, which grows into a light hope crashed into harsh reality, can also lure the viewer and of course the very spirit of virtual immersion. For me personally, this movie is much better than Ordinal Scale
As a fan. My scrore will be 9 but even objectively the film deserves a minimum of 8.
P.s ( Unless you are a "crazy hater/troll" who wants to attract attention or something. Just putting 1 point out of 10 without objective facts. Because this is an adult act, right? )
P.S.S ( And yes, please. There is no need to fool people that you allegedly watched a movie (( if you are going )). At the time of this review, it was only viewable in Japan and I highly doubt that presumable future English speaking reviewers live in Japan. There is no need to spread misinformation or hate for the sake of hate. Have self-esteem for others and for yourself. )
