Guess I can say that I feel like PsychoPass Movie was great as an action movie. But it was an action movie wearing a poor Holo of PsychoPass. Seemed to largely be in the same vein as PsychoPass 2 in that aspect. It greatly disappoints me and makes me wonder if they will ever make another PsychoPass that stands up to that of the original. Music Art Sound All of these are just as amazing as you would expect to find in PsychoPass and never once did I have any complaints. The music all fitted the universe just fine and did a great job. Meanwhile the sound effects where hard hitting and helped to give more power to action scenes. Art throughout the movie was great with a ton of detail being put into what you saw. With the movie dedicating a number of scenes to showing off the designs and set pieces of the world. While a conversation was taking place or a slow portion of the movie rolled around to give some breathing room. Now I do want to mention the Voice Acting and how I hated it. The English throughout the movie was horrendous and seemed like they barely even tried. Definitely was something I would call engrish and should have been easy to pull off. If you have a movie in which a large portion of the dialogue will be English maybe you should find some English VAs who can do the part. Characters With PsychoPass Movie we dont get that many new characters who really matter. And instead spend a fair bit of time with an old friend in Kogami. Kogami who has kinda ended up as a religious type leader to a group of guerrillas helping to support their cause and fight. A man who just wanted to find a peaceful place to settle down finds himself back in the action. It takes a fair bit of time to actually get around meeting him but when it does it certainly has a decent impact. Akane meanwhile is pretty much the same as she was in PsychoPass 2. Nothing much changes with her character still maintaining the same beliefs as before. We do end up with a decent scene early on with some nice character building at least letting us see that she does in fact have a life and friends outside of work. Though I do question why a single woman has such a massive and empty apartment. The Colonel Nicholas Wong kinda ends up just being a generic evil guy. He wants to gain power and control but we never really explore much with him. He doesnt seem to really have any moral compass of any type and could be replaced by anybody really. Im going to just group the mercenaries together cause we never learn anything about them really. They get paid by the Colonel to do a job and that it what they attempt to do. Spec Ops of some kind ruthless in executing their plans and getting the job done. Though they also dont seem to be all that loyal to the Colonel willing to change plans to suit them Chuan Han or otherwise known as the Sibyl System in this movie. A man used as a figure head to get the Sibyl System in place and is fully replaceable and unnecessary once that goal has been achieved. Story A decent fast paced story that asked a simple question really. How could the Sibyl System be introduced to a country in the middle of a civil war. And if it forcing the Sibyl System on the people to achieve peace is worth giving up freedom. Or if the people should still be able to have a free democracy. By the end though it feels as if the choice has already been made for the people. The Sibyl System is in place and staying even if the people choose something different in the elections. Meanwhile I question how the Sibyl System to capable of taking on such responsibilities at all by this point. It seems like the system has always been under pressure due to the amount of people it is supporting in Japan. Just seems like adding hundreds of thousands or even millions of more people would have the system collapsing under the stress. But overall the story does a good job for the time provided. It does a good job at introducing conflict and giving the characters motivations. Even if I feel like the story didnt really progress the world or characters very much but just kinda filled out the world.
