Synopsis

After fending off the threat of a Neuroi invasion of Romagna and destroying the enemy's nest over Venezia, Yoshika Miyafuji goes back to her home town in the Empire of Fusou. Despite the loss of her magical and healing abilities, the former officer of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing wants to continue studying medicine. This is in order to help those in need, both civilians and those on the front lines alike. She receives an invitation from a prestigious school in Europe and decides to accept the offer, embarking on a journey back to the war-torn continent. However, a new danger arises, as more and more Neuroi manage to break through human defense lines, appearing unnoticed in supposedly safe areas and disturbing the balance of power in Europe. Yoshika's sense of duty collides with her inability to pilot a Striker Unit, but with her friends in peril, it seems that there is only one thing she can do.

From the very first minute, it was clear that this was going to be an epic battle, judging by the way it was executed. The relentless barrage of attacks added to the tense atmosphere. The visuals captured the escalating chaos in the sky whilst the tactics were being executed. At certain moments, it also offered some refreshing scenic views. The entire narrative was flawless, without missing a single beat. Anyone who followed the previous season will certainly be satisfied with this film.

Like the poster talk about a breath of fresh air. The opening was how all movies should start. Even if you haven't seen the show you see can understand what is going on, and enjoy fo what's worth. I'm a firm believer in show don't tell, and this movie lives up to that creed. The visuals are spectacular the 3d models blended in so well with the background at times I thought they could have drawn them instead and nobody would have known the difference! The armies seem to be push overs if not cannon fodder to delay the Nueroi until the magical girls come in for the save. One other thing to note the very main character inexplicably received a wound though she did back flips with her head, she should be paralyzed or at the very least concussed. Not bleeding from some unknown wound. Overall a great movie to pass the time for casuals, and gun enthusiasts alike. It's thrilling and gives the right amount of screen time for each of it's many cast members showing us just the right amount of their personalities. Though for people like me who haven't seen the series it would've been better to focus more on the girls who'd have more of an impact throughout the movie, rather than a role call I liked the American girl bad she didn't have a bigger role to play in the movie, or the German girls Hartmann, and Barkhorn. Perhaps they were there to tease the audience into giving the series a shot in the end they won me over!
