Review of Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale

As someone who genuinely enjoys the SAO series (especially the recent two seasons), this movie was awful to me. But the ratings were even worse. How is it possible that this is the highest rated part of SAO when it has the worst writing and story of them all? *** Possible minor spoilers *** Story: 3/10 The best way to describe this is Aincrad IRL. New console that brings the monster fighting world to the real world, where people can join up to defeat monsters. A guy starts attacking people, and Kirito has to save everyone yet again.The story felt like it was going nowhere for maybe 3/4 of the movie. Then towards the end, it felt like they got really lazy and threw a plot out the window altogether. Even the Calibur arc in S2 had less filler than this.

Art: 10/10

It's SAO. The art has always been good.

Sound: 10/10

Again, the sound has always been good. Just a shame the art and sound were used here.

Character: 3/10

Same characters from S2. No development of anyone at all, and the characters still felt like they were bland and dull and lacking personality.

Enjoyment: 1/10

Majority of this was repeated scenes and random fights that made no sense to the story. It was hard to enjoy something which had such little effort put into.

Overall: 3/10

Yeah, I didn't like this. SAO has since gotten better, but I do not understand such high ratings for this.
