Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale

I loved it. It was not as good as some of Sword Art Online's other story arcs but definitely worth seeing.

The following comments are to put into context some of the comments by reviewers who missed the earlier story arcs.

We see a more mature, career oriented Kirito in Ordinal Scale. It is a consistent progression of the character development in earlier story arcs.

It may not be the last Sword Art Online story arc as there were teasers that left it open for more to come.

I was initially not planning to do this review, but since I saw many other reviews with bad reasons to give it a low score i am doing this.

First of all I want to take a moment to talk about the characters and how many emotions you feel with them. This movie has kirito and Asuna as protagonists. Almost always you are feeling what they feel. This helps you to really care about them.

The villain was REALLY good. His purporses are really believable and some people may understand him and even feel empathy for him. The villain is so well done that you will not recognize what he really wants until he has almost done it. I would give it a 9.7

Other thing I want to point out is that I loved the AR thing. I could really more less understand the situation that they are in because in real life (when it was a trend) A lot of people played pokemon go and they would do anything to catch those pokemons. Something similar happens here.

Something I have to mention is the NOSTALGIA I felt while watching this. There are mentions and flashbacks to SAO series and it makes you really remember those moments. Only people who liked the series or light novels will understand how good those moments were, this is why I can not blame anyone for not liking the movie and not understanding how important those moments were.

The general plot was like the anime. A game that starts becoming more and more serious. The hidden meaning of this movie is represented as a question; How far would you go for the ones you love?.

The kirito and Asuna moments are great making you fall in love with those characters.

If you have never watched the series, that O.K the movie has a quick summary of 1st season and the animation is so perfect! The story reminds me of season 1 but i think its really good and creative.

As someone who just started watching this show I was really intreasted to see how a sword art online movie would play out and I have to say I was not disappointed. SAO the ordinal scale takes everything I liked from the pervious 2 seasons and put them into a full length movie that completely I loved to death. This movie was just everything I wanted this movie to be. The cast in this movie steals the show which I honestly expected because the cast in the show is fantastic and they are once again fantastic in this movie. The story in this movie is incredible seeing how they take a story that is based around VR and brings into AR into the mix and they nail it. The action in this movie is great and super well animated. The animation in this movie is also incredible and honestly breath taking. The characters also have some more character development that I honestly didn't expect but I loved. As fan I love how they basically bring things from the anime into the mix and I loved how they continued right where the anime left off. The only thing I can say was weak in this movie was the villain honestly compared to the villains in the anime this villain was just Weak but it didn't take me out of the movie at all. Overall I loved SAO the movie it was everything I wanted it to be and more and I honestly want to watch it again right this moment.

If you didn't knew I am a huge sao fan and I had huge expectations for this movie and I'm proudly to say they succeed. The movie takes place after the end of season 2 and the beginning of season 3. It's about a new device called augma, The Augma is a next-generation wearable multi-device developed by Professor Shigemura Tetsuhiro and distributed by an emerging information and communication technology (ICT) company named Kamura, most people use it for sports but there has been a game that has been released called ordinal scale ,But there is only one problem I have with this it's basically season 1 of sao but put into a 2 hour long movie but besides that the movie overall is masturpiece in its own right, if you didn't knew already the movie is number eight in the japanese box office reaching 33.2 million us dollars or just over 4 billion yen ( 2017) The art work is astonishing even the lighting is marvellous, it's some of the best I have ever seen just coming underneath attack of titan and I have reviewed this in English dub 5.1 at 1080p × 1920p you can watch this at crunchyroll and netflix but do be warned there is no dub on netflix

But you can buy the English dub version on Amazon or just wait for the English dub to be released on netflix But it's your choice
