As an avid lover of the Ni no Kuni series, this movie was dreadfully disappointing. They did a great job at reusing some of the game's original soundtrack, and the movie itself was visually quite nice to look at (for the most part) but the actual plot was terrible. The only reason I sat through the whole thing was because of my love for the games, otherwise I would have dropped the film before the 30 minute mark. The storyline eventually became so haphazard that I put the film on 1.5 speed just to try to get it over with.
If you're someone who doesn't care much for following a coherent storyline and just want to see people run across cool landscapes, then feel free to watch the film. If you're hoping for a worthwhile addition to the video game series (or even a random good movie to spend your weekend enjoying), then don't bother wasting your time.
