I highly recomend this movie to anyone who followed the Fullmetal Alchemist anime series. The movie puts together all the big pieces that the last episode of the series seems to leave lying about. As a stand alone movie, this probably isn't as good because it pulls so heavily from the 50 episode series and unless you've watched the series a fair amount, particularly the last 15 episodes or so, you'll be lost during parts of the movie. The movie starts two years after the last episode of the series, which the description tells you. The Elric brothers are trapped in different worlds, and both are trying desperately to find a way to open a portal between them, to find the other. Alphonse Elric has become even more adept in alchemy during the two years of study since the last episode, and travels his world looking for the alchemy to find his brother. Edward Elric, stuck in our world, has taken up the study of rocketry in order to try and find a way back without the use of his alchemy. He encounters and interacts with many people in the other world that resemble/reflect key people from his world that he met during their travels. With the help (and sometimes interference) of these people he moves closer to finding a way back to his world. I gave this movie 4 stars because I loved it as an ending to the series, but as a movie by itself it would never sell because it depends so much on the plot build up from before. I would recomend this to anyone who liked the series and, like me, was a little put off with its ending.Read full review
Bought this movie for my daughter who loves the show and turns out the movie was something her dad and I enjoyed as well. So glad we bought it.
