Psycho-Pass: The Movie

This movie make you reconsider everything you felt was true. Twisted and though provoking with a stark and disturbing moral message. The cute animation may fool you into believing this is not a serious film, which only increases the confusion you will feel when you complete the movie. May be best to watch the TV Series first, but even if you do not, it will make you think.

I really like the fact, that the Psycho-Pass movie goes in a different direction than the first two seasons. Although it isn't as good as these two seasons, especially not as the first one. So here we see the situation in another country, where the Sibyl System isn't quite as established as in japan. A really interesting topic makes this really good movie.

And yeah I always love to see Tsunemori and Kougami together.

Though it expands on the world outside of Japan, it offers few compelling insights, and hints at instead of displaying interesting developments. Ditches the crime investigation and interpersonal formulae for run of the mill geopolitics that are neither disappointing nor impressive, introduces many characters that it doesn't expand on, and thus leans heavily on its returning protagonists from the series; alas, two characters and a mediocre plot don't make for complicated drama. Also, both Tsunemori and Sybil seem to be holding idiot balls. The animation was also good but I didn't watch it for the eye candy.

The movie is only for those who have watched the series as it starts off with a belief you know the characters, there inter relation dynamics and how this world and its technology works. There are enough references from past for fan service while giving us a new setting and plot. For me it's been few years since I watched the show, forgotten many of the characters and the story, I felt like I missed out on elements when they get into past talks and such.

The movie is based in Cambodia, a trial capital city is built using the Sibyl System. The problem is local government having to fight rebels outside the capital area, the worse part the rebels seem to be trained by the runway enforcer Shinya Kogami. Enter Inspector Tsunemori, she goes in to resolve the past as well as the present. The story is great, lots of intrigue and suspense all throughout until the end.

The animation itself is amazing, better than the series. The artwork is gorgeous, especially the ones showing the temples of Siem Reap and the jungles of Cambodia. Also, the fight sequences are crazy awesome, the group of mercenaries are bad ass fighting machine.

I enjoyed the movie, although its more action focus than Sci-Fi story driven.

consider this movie an epilogue to the prior 2 season of the TV series. It explores the consequences of actions taken by certain character in those past two series and is ultimately a nice companion piece.

I've heard it said that this movie does not provide resolution to what came before but I disagree. The show is more than just about events, it is about the message the show has been trying to get across and it does this perfectly. 'People need democracy, they should not have a system of governance IMPOSED upon them'.

The film gives resolution to Gino character who was sorely underused in in season 2. The music, the animation, the writing was all top quality. A masterpiece.
