The backgrounds are as detailed as I've ever seen them each world has a distinct concept which sets a different tone depending on where the events are taking place.
While the militant expectations of fans should never determine an artistic piece, the fact that they are dismissed point-blank ultimately diminishes the movie's impact.AnimationConqueror of Shamballa's animation was certainly at the top if its game when it was first released even better, I can't see it ageing anytime soon due to the high quality of the visuals. The effect was such that, when the credits started rolling, I thought it was some kind of horrible joke. The final nail in the coffin is simply this: Conqueror of Shamballa prefers to throw up new questions rather than answering old ones. I'd argue that the American dub is slightly less confusing to watch however, in being clearer, this version also makes some of the contrivances more obvious. Add to that the rather shallow explanation of events and the story ends up being only vaguely interesting.

Unfortunately, the plot developments don't compensate for this drab setting constructed entirely from the frayed ends of the series and rather disjointed historical elements, Conqueror of Shamballa barely manages to form a coherent story. However, watching Ed solving most of his problems using conventional means and generally just walking around powerlessly just robs the movie of so much dynamism. Sure, Conqueror of Shamballa's the Nazi-era setting looks very convincing, and all of the details point to painstaking research furthermore, the themes of prejudice and scientific responsibility from the series carry over well into the movie. I remember FMA partly for its creativity and energy however, with Ed stuck in the real world, I can't help feeling that these elements have largely been lost. While the central plot is superficially interesting, the real pitfall is that, instead of tying up some relevant loose ends, the movie actually unravels some more. Given such numerous predictions, I still didn't bank on the movie being a shambolic disappointment. StoryTo anyone who has not yet seen the series, Fullmetal Alchemist, I strongly suggest not reading this review as a continuation of the series' plot, any discussions of the movie will inevitably contain major spoilers.įullmetal Alchemist is a masterpiece which set the new benchmark for any anime in the fantasy genre for that reason, I had many expectations of FMA: Conqueror of Shamballa and many ideas about the directions the story would take.
