Yesterday, after having my weekend staycation with my wife, we had some vacant time at around 4 pm and were juggling between going home to spend our evening or to go and see another movie. This anime movie had been promoted in the social media for few weeks but since I was not familiar with the series, I was a bit doubtful of whether to see it or not. However, when I saw the positive reactions of various people (and also the high rating), I was a bit intrigued. Therefore, we decided to go see this movie at CGV in the 4DX theater. Apparently there was some kind of promotion where the ticket for this cinema was almost half the normal price. Naturally we wanted to try experiencing the 4DX effects (we only tried that once when it first open many years ago). Anyway, let us get on with the story now, shall we?
Brief Story Line
Story was set in the year 2026 with brief explanation on the history of Sword Art Online (SAO) game played by many gamers using a NerveGear equipment to enter into the virtual reality world where the players can fight monsters, get to know other gamers and so on. Kirito (voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka) was the number 1 player there but semi retired to the gaming world after that game was shut down. He did however still get together with other "survivors" like his love interest Asuna (Haruka Tomatsu), Lisbeth (Ayahi Takagaki) and Silica (Rina Hidaka).
