So this movie had a lot going on for it: excellent animation and visually pleasing action, interesting plot, Asuna x Kirito sweet moments, Asuna's sideboob zoomed in and in its full glory...But I guess the most important thing was the absolute cocktease of a a final scene introducing Alicization.
Yeah I am quite content with this movie. Defo recommended! (p.s: It does require previous knowledge of everything that happened so far)

main cast
* Based on Kawahara Reki's light novel series Sword Art Online.
In 2022, the world of virtual reality was upended by the arrival of a new invention from a genius programmer, Kayaba Akihiko. Called NerveGear, it was the first full-dive system and with it, came endless possibilities to VRMMORPGs.
In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A next-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn't have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality (AR) to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is Ordinal Scale (aka: OS), an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma.
Asuna and the gang have already been playing OS for a while, by the time Kirito decides to join them. They're about to find out that Ordinal Scale isn't all fun and games...

I went in expecting nothing and almost skipped the movie because some recommendations said its not needed for the third season but I ended up watching it anyways. Totally worth it. I very much enjoyed the movie. Fantastic fight scenes, good soundtrack and an okay story fitting to the franchise.

Overall, a decent contribution to the franchise, with excellent special effects and a full 2-hour length to provide more time for character detail to show through. One of the best elements of the SAO franchise is the teamwork aspects between Asuna and Kirito, so it's a bit unfortunate that this show didn't showcase a whole lot of that, but they did at least honor Asuna's inner strength and independence, which is another one of the show's strong points. Overall, I was impressed, but underwhelmed at the same time. The story itself was good, but basically just a rehash of plot elements used in prior arcs. Enough to satisfy fans of the franchise, anyway, without really rocking the boat.

Excellent movie if you liked SAO so far. A nice story coupled with amazing fights and a new and interesting concept. I'm definitely looking forward to the next season!

I wish this could've been a TV series to fully immerse the viewer in this new environment and to expand on the plot. It's cool seeing Asuna and Kirito more mature, but since this is a movie, there isn't too much time spent on the new characters and villains to get invested in them. In the past SAO has had epic fights tied with awesome music, but here everything is decent. Overall this 3rd installment in the SAO franchise isn't bad, but hopefully the next season can spend more time in the game itself.
