.hack//G.U. Trilogy Review
This movie is a beauty from start to finish. It removes a lot of the story points but how else can you make a movie without it being 50-60 hours? Cramming three games into one movie seemed like a hard enough job. I'm only miffed a little cause Sakaki only seems like a nuisance and not a pain in the neck like he should be. The combat sequences are beautiful but do not dull the actual story unlike a spiky haired emo I know...
Haseo proves he's not angst and rage, though they do seem to get the job done for him. Well, until [This part is censored for plot relevance] and [see prior] and he proves [you get the idea] etc.
I had expected, with it being condensed and all, Ovan would be more direct. How wrong I was! He maintains his normal status, more so than the other characters.

VERY sentimenmtal - Robert Seymour - Napa, CA
It is a great movie. I recommend it. Remember that this movie is very sentimental. VERY sentimental. I give it a 4 instead of a 5 for a few reasons:
>> We never really get a feel for the scope of the game world (offline or online).
>> The film shows too much of Haseo's forehead while his epitaph is doing the fighting.
>> It would probably have given more closure to the ending if we could have seen some dialog with Aura. Instead, we only hear her voice.
Great Movie, but a little disappointing - DeathScytheRuler -
This was a good movie, but trying to cram 3 video games into 1 theatrical feature was a bit too much. If you didn't play any of the .hack//G.U. video games then you might have a hard time figuring out the finer mechanics of what was going on in the movie. Many of the main characters weren't included like Sakubo and Endrance, only Haseo, Atoli, and Ovan used their epitaph powers, and several of the main enemies were over shadowed or not shown at all. Plus, it skipped most of the games key parts and pretty much remastered cut-senes to make most of the movie. Basically the movie focused only on Haseo, Atoli, and Ovan. Not that its a bad thing, but there was so much more than what was portrayed.
The graphics were amazing and the fight scenes were awsome.
Must buy for .hack//G.U. fans - Jacob Magner - Syracuse, NY
To sum up 3 games into a 2 hour-ish segment is a hard thing to do. You have to make sure you include important parts, as well take out a lot of side story's to make the time frame.
Well they did this well, they took out some of the minor people (like piros the 3rd) and its about the main idea of the story. They changed some of the scenes from the games, but i like the change. It's a great movie, and a definite buy.
I have been a big .hack fan(all the games, animes, books, etc.) and i would get mad if they changed the story of one of the games for no point. Again it keeps the general idea, and they do it really well. It is one of my favorite movies now. A+ buy for fans of .hack, and fans of anime style movies.
