Review of Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale
The Sword Art Online curse continues on the series but not on this one. Story 7 - Somewhat predictable but the executions were good enough to make the story plot stand out. They really improved their writing and put it in a logical way. But the story is not perfect ofc but it is good, not mediocre, it's above average I would say. Art 10 - On this one A-1 pictures animation is pretty massive. They used the Clean 2d animation with the mix of CGI effects and the 1st thing comes into your mind is the Ufotable Strategy. Big production right here, like having the2d smoke mixed with translucent cgi smoke. Heavily filtered characters + the world building here is better than the series. Overall, astounding animation with stellar editing.
Sound 8 - A pretty good one but not so special, they able to capture the scenes with good soundtracks and overall a very decent Sound/Music.
Characters 7 - The main problem of this franchise is the cliche characters, It's OKAY to have cliche ones but please make use of your characters wise and important, the "unbalanced characterization" of SAO is a major major problem but here they kind of fix it but still more work/effort to go.
Enjoyment 10- I really really enjoyed this one :D I can't deny it bruh
Overall 8.4/ ( 8 / 10 ) despite of its problems / issues , they naturally stand out and made a better quality of the series to a movie. Goodsht A-1 pictures not so bad :))
