I want to start by saying that if you don't know Fullmetal Alchemist, go to Youtube or Veoh and absorb as much of it as you can. And the ending promises more to come, so now I'll impatiently wait for the second Full Metal Alchemist movie. Even so, there’s enough plot twists, action scenes and special effects to keep any FMA fan on the edge of the couch cushion. The inclusion of Nazi evildoers and an attempt to illustrate prejudice against Jews and minorities didn’t really shine, but only felt like the creators’ stilted attempt to make a point about social injustice. Envy returns too, in a much-transformed state. Yes, the inhuman, eating-disorder guy is back in an even creepier form.
The pivotal battle scene in the film is partially revealed in previews: an epic fight involving a very mutated and grotesque Gluttony, the homonculus who creeped us out so bad in the series. One shocker for me was how many of the main players were killed off in this movie, but of course, I’m not telling which ones bite the dirt. For instance, Colonel Roy Mustang has turned hermit, living alone in a mountain cabin far away from the military and refuses to use his alchemy. But virtually all the characters on both sides of the gate have undergone major transformations and no one is doing what you’d expect them to be. One aspect of the movie I really liked was that all the main characters are essentially doubled Ed meets up with almost all of his past acquaintances as ‘alter-egos’ in the modern day world he occupies now. The plot jumps back and forth between Edward’s efforts in the ‘real’ world (1920s era Earth) and Alphonse struggling to reopen the gate in the Alchemic world. He’s surpassed everything Izumi can teach him and has moved on to become quite a master in the art. Thanks to his unique experience within the gate, Al’s alchemic talents are exceptional, exceeding even those of his brother Edward’s. Concurrently back in the Alchemic world, Alphonse has spent his time studying to improve his skills. Ed is seriously into rocket resear ch, believing it might be his ticket back home to the Alchemic world and to his brother. Then the story picks up with Edward in pre-war Europe, working with his brother Al’s modern-day alternate. The film jumps right back into Ed and Al’s struggles, beginning with a flashback that has them battling a semi-mad scientist type who has invented a dangerously destructive bomb. (And don’t worry, I won’t be giving any major spoilers in this review.)
This film continues the story of Edward & Alphonse Elric, two youngsters who pursue alchemic knowledge and the mastery of the Philosopher’s Stone.
FMA THE CONQUEROR OF SHAMBALLA FULL MOVIE REDDIT SERIES
But I’m glad I waited to see it with the same voices & cast of Full Metal Alchemist I’m familiar with and believe other fans of the TV series will also be thrilled. It was a long three year wait for this movie to be released in an English-dubbed version. More so after I made myself accept the result of that plot twist that ends the series as premise for the movie.FM Alchemist movie: worth waiting for English version All in all I enjoyed the movie, and it did give me more closure. MOVIE SPOILER I got really sad at Hohenheim's death, I think that was some of Brotherhood's doing because I thought he was pathetic in '03. And as usual, they did emotional parts well. They love to exploit a certain character, as usual LOL. Lol RoyEd fuel? Sweet fighting scenes, I wanted more of them in FMA. But i get that this is his character here, and it made for a sweet comeback entrance at least. Plot wise there were times I was 'eh.' but I can't deny they execute it well in at least some aspect nonetheless. Some parts made me remember why I didn't like the '03 anime, as well as what I adored about it. I just wanted a better impression of this show. I expect shonen anime movies to be meh, you might know how it's like generally if you've seen one. I left the series unsatisfied (still not a fan of that plot twist that ended it) but came back to watch the movie like 6 months later.
