Well then Anime fans or fans of the Fate series it is finally here the new Fate/Stay Night movie is finally mother freaking here and i'm going to tell you my thoughts on the movie weather you like it or not (please like it) so here is my review of Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel I. presage flower.
I hate to start reviews of on a negative note but I really couldn't work out what the heck the story was for this film the film's IMDB page does have a synopsis but that's not the point i shouldn't have to look on IMDB to see what the story is meant to be it should all be there in the film I get that this is the first part of a trilogy and therefor pretty much the first act of a story but even so a film needs to tell a story.
There is a kinda mystery going on in this film I say kinda because it's brought up once or twice and that's really it and the mystery it self isn't that well done not because it's super easy but because this film doesn't do what a good mystery should it doesn't give you clues at all so you can't work out who's behind this mystery which in this case is people are suddenly falling ill.
Starring in the film are Noriaki Sugiyama as Emiya , Noriko Shitaya as Sakura , Kana Ueda as Rin and Ayako Kawasumi as Saber. Honestly the acting in this film is pretty freaking solid and to me that's because all of the actors that i've mentioned have played these characters in numerous projects so they know the characters inside out and thus can deliver a performance that's catered to those characters.
AS with alot of Fate series this movie is animated by the gods that are Ufotable and if you've seen the TV version of Unlimited Blade Works then you know what i'm going to say next the animation in the film is freaking incredible which is to be expected since this studio always puts in alot of effort when it comes to the animation heck the nickname for Blade Works was Unlimited Budget Works so it's a wonder that the animation in this film was top freaking notch.
As you might have guessed by who I listed in the credits I was watching the subbed version and for alot of the time all I could think of was "wow the dub for this is going to amazing" and I have no idea why I was thinking that but it's true the dub for this does look like it's going to amazing it has alot of great voice actors in it.
Now this whole trilogy is based on the light novel series of the same name by Task Ohna and Type-Moon and I do have to say that after seeing the movie I hope that the light novel actually has a plot so i might check it out just to see what the heck the story and something that I forgot to mention was the fact that the pacing in the film was bad there are times when this film feels really slow.
Going back to the animation for a second the film does have alot of great looking backgrounds ok there not as good as the ones seen in something like Your Name but there better then things you'd see in an anime series and the film does make great use of CGI as well.
Fate / Stay Night has always had great looking fights scenes heck one of the few saving graces if the 2006 Unlimited Blade Works was the fight / action scenes and that is true for this film as well all of the fight scenes in this movie looked really freaking and the animation really did a good job of making the action scenes more fast paced and entertaining.
Now I do have something to admit here I downloaded this movie on Wednesday with the intention of watching it on Thursday but as I was about to hit play another and frankly better movie came online and no it's not the awesomeness that is Love Live! Sunshine!! movie it was Wes Anderson's Isle Of Dogs but tho I have now seen Heaven's Feel (duh) bottom line I will never put of watching a Fate Stay Night movie again.
Overall this movie is way better then the Unlimited Blade Works movie but at the same time I was kinda let down by it so i'm giving this movie a solid 6.5 out of 10.
