Armitage III Dual Matrix is not a bad movie sequel but it's not a masterpiece either. The OVAs had a solid premise and mystique to them, this one has new animation which improves certain aspects of the movie. It's a bit of a mixed bag in Naomi's design, they improved her outfit, with tighter dress fitting but the facial expressions of the OVA felt more polished to me maybe it's my cel shaded bias, don't take it as if the details are not there this one has plenty of Naomi details, for the rest of the world building aspects unfortunately it suffers from the not sogreat 3D animations wish they went for the 2D animation only, for the Ross and the mecha animation sequences are very crisp.

Story takes a back seat due to the antagonist being one dimensional fare and the exploration of Earth is not shown that much, if we recall the OVAs we get a deep dive into Mars ecosystem. That however you wont be noticing much. Since they added some political drama into it which makes it worthwhile on understanding the universe. Also somehow they abandoned that idea of Earth being somewhat liberal centric from the OVAs, perhaps the focus of the story is minute. And somethings do not get proper outcome.

One small aspect I would point out is the OST is not a strong aspect of this movie.

The standout part is how Naomi's character arc gets some fleshed out story, that's the top class achievement by the staff here. They took her OVA character and improved on her without taking anything away, she gets to keep her hot style, caring. Ultimately making her into a woman. This makes up the whole story. Plus the best part is Armitage is a Cyberpunk show and it sticks to it's guns and elevates. For the fans of OVA they will not be disappointed even it falls a bit short of it since this is a niche genre and we got this to enjoy the best of Naomi.
