Gekijouban Soshuhen Jujutsu Kaisen: Kaigyoku/Gyokusetsu

Satoro Gojo and his classmate, Suguru Geto, are assigned to protect the Star Vessel. The assignment seems easy at first until they are attacked and are on a race against the clock to keep the vessel safe until the clock runs out.

The latest Jujutsu Kaisen movie is a slight expansion of the second season. The story focuses exclusively on Gojo and his past. The animation is taken directly from Season 2. The viewer's experience of the one-hour and fifty-minute runtime will depend on their individual experience. For those who have seen season two, it might be boring, and for those who have not, it will be exhilarating. With that said, it's a great movie to watch as a refresher before the release of season three.

Extra details, scenes, and just being in the theater with the surround sound systems was a different experience.

The animation on the big screen was just to die for, it was amazing and beautiful. I'm pretty sure some scenes were even reanimated or polished. The music might be a bit different, but there for a fact is a different version of a song that appears. So definitely give it a watch if you are interested in the technical side.

Despite what some say about the series, I'm glad this got a theatrical release, always loved this story arc. Warms and breaks my heart every time.

Also I cried like a little baby at the end of the movie, go watch and you'll see what I mean, haha.

The movie achieved its goal, a recapped and mostly reanimated version. The added atmosphere from being in a movie theatre definitely improves the experience. However other than that it's a recap. Nothing mind blowing but nothing sub par by far. If you're a first time watcher of the show and you haven't gotten to this arc yet, I don't know if I'd tell you to watch this first. A lot of parts that give everything impact are rushed but this is obviously due to it being a movie. There's also some strange decisions made with greying out certain violent scenes, however I don't think that's anything substantial and mostly nitpicking. If you want a condensed, reanimated version of this arc, and also want that same movie experience, this is for you. If you want slower pacing, watch the show's season of it first.

I'm actually happy I got to see anime in cinemas again. I really love JJK and being able to experience it on the big screen is something I can really be glad of. The animation itself and the art was really good (it's MAPPA after all) and I also liked that there were less soundtracks played in this movie than in Season 2 of JJK.

The reason I'm not rating this a 10/10 though is because that this movie is a compliation of the first five episodes of Season 2, making the content of this movie nothing special at all. Sure, there were some extra scenes which made the movie more theatrical, but you can really just watch the show instead for the same portion of content.

I would recommend watching this movie for everyone who'd really like to experience anime on the big screen. That said, watching the first five episodes of JJK Season 2 is also an option :)
