There was a certain girl, who had come home from a certain movie theater, after watching a certain 4k movie. She lay there on her bed, and thought to herself while sipping hot sauce, because her dad was too cheap to buy juice that day, "You think they would have learned by now? That EVERY NEW VR GAME HAS A CATCH TO IT!?" But no. They Didn't learn. SAO Ordinal Scale is not what I expected, but I surprisingly enjoyed it. I personally don't hate SAO, I just don't like Kirito that's all. So anyway, I will tell you from my perspective on SAO: Ordinal Scale. I watched itin a movie theater, I don't know if it was because it was on a Thursday, but there was literally no one there when I watched, kinda said how in my area (Chicago!) even mainstream is not mainstream, so there were only me, my brother, and my dad, and two other guys, that's it, how sad.

The people said it was dubbed, but when we were there it was actually subbed, which for me was a pleasant surprise, but my brother was a little miffed cause he likes dub.

Let me just get straight to it, visuals, voice acting and sound, AMAZING it really blew my mind, the action was amazing too. Don't expect the same experience, because you might not watch this movie in a theater in 4k, but this was actually my first anime movie in a theater before, so I was really excited.

The movie is around two hours long, so we were there for a bit. One problem I have with the action is that it starts off really well, but then the fights gradually get shorter and shorter, until literally one slash and 20 bosses are defeated. Another thing I didn't like was the various plot holes unexplained.

This isn't really a spoiler, it's just there was one part where Yui "loaded" the characters save files from SAO when they were fighting a boss, and they immediately became like 1 million times stronger which.........what?

But anyway if you pay attention you will see the myriad of unexplained plot holes at the end.
There was even information that the movie got wrong. Trying to save 10,000 original SAO players....when approximately 4000 died....and that left only 6000 survivors, but hey whatever, I'm just being critical. I enjoyed the movie, my dad didn't he doesn't care for anime at all. If you like SAO watch it, if not.....you can still watch it so you can hate on it, I really don't care. I just hope you enjoyed my review! Thank you!
