The first problem we have right from the get go is that this movie is only ninety-three minutes and the game it's based on is a massive three disc game that takes over one-hundred hours to beat and it shows as the story is rushed so they could fit everything they could to fit it into a film. This also makes it hard to follow the story as it goes by so fast you'll forget what the movie is about. Another problem is that the characters could have been used much better as some of the more important characters you would've seen in the game are used very weirdly as you only see some of them for a few seconds without any introduction and it frustrates me as it's so obvious that the use if them is important but they rush through them making their appearances very pointless. The action in the movie is very good and it did get me very excited but I do wish they toned some of this down (as the fights scenes are pretty long) to extend on the storytelling to make this a much better film.

The computer generations in this film
looks really good and are animated very smoothly. I'm quite fond of
the facial animations as it did a good job capturing the emotions the
characters go through. The Japanese dub was pretty average and it's
just as forgettable as the story of the film. The characters are
also pretty hard to like as most of the dialog is them whining,
bitching, and moaning but to be fair they don't whine for the sake of
whining as the characters do have a reason for being so depressed but
it will annoy people. Music in the film is also very forgettable.

Despite the movie being average the
special features were pretty decent. You get a bunch of trailers
that aired on the Namco Ban-Dai website, television, and in theaters.
There is also a special behind the scenes documentary that ended up
being more interesting than the movie itself. Lastly there is also a
special feature that was more mediocre than the film and it was a
parody reel of them spoofing on themselves which was very painful to
sit through. I can't recommended buying this one as there it's not
very good but if you see this one in the weekly section at your local
video store it will make a decent rental but other than that I don't
recommended this film.
