Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven's Feel - I. Presage Flower

The Holy Grail War: a violent battle between mages in which seven masters and their summoned servants fight for the Holy Grail, a magical artifact that can grant the victor any wish. Nearly 10 years ago, the final battle of the Fourth Holy Grail War wreaked havoc on Fuyuki City and took over 500 lives, leaving the city devastated.

Shirou Emiya, a survivor of this tragedy, aspires to become a hero of justice like his rescuer and adoptive father, Kiritsugu Emiya. Despite only being a student, Shirou is thrown into the Fifth Holy Grail War when he accidentally sees a battle between servants at school and summons his own servant, Saber.

When a mysterious shadow begins a murderous spree in Fuyuki City, Shirou aligns himself with Rin Toosaka, a fellow participant in the Holy Grail War, in order to stop the deaths of countless people. However, Shirou's feelings for his close friend Sakura Matou lead him deeper into the dark secrets surrounding the war and the feuding families involved.

Seems i am proven right again by the masses that i should form my own opinion by watching it myself,as im shocked by the quite low score of this movie compared to the quality. And so should you really.

As for a more objective opinion, i slugged through even the biggest slops anime has to offer, im proud to say i've only dropped 1 anime to date, and my portofolio is way bigger then what i registered on this site. One hand is more then enough to count the anime that raise to the quality of this piece of art,itself included. The quality in sound and ... animation alone is equal to none. The story itself doesn't fall far behind. If there ever was one series that deserved an actual perfect score is this one.

Plenty of people from what i was able to gather mostly dislike this movie series also because it's the sakura route... Non-sense. There's no bad route when it comes to this series.

All in all, a must watch, although i'd recommend you watch Fate/Zero and Fate/stay Night Unlimited Blade works before.

Mixed Feelings

Having finished reading the VN not too long, I had some very high expectations of this routes adaptation as I thought UBW's was great, not perfect, but entirely servicable to the original material.

I can only really call it a mess. Started off strong with the anime original scenes of Sakura and Shirou's past until it devolved into a rushed empty, yet flashy, blur. I started tuning out halfway through, conversations would leave out so many details from the VN and then just end and quickly move onto the next scene. Just a lot of flashy animation without any of the VN's substance. I'll just watch ... a few of the fight scenes and move on because that's all this adaptation really gets right.

Not Recommended

As you can already tell from my score, I did not enjoy this film at all. I don't understand the hype or have anything really to appreciate about it other than the sexy animation from Ufotable. The movie is just straight up boring. A boring introduction to Sakura's route that doesn't feel necessary I don't care about anything that's happening; it feels like a rushed mess. I was bored throughout the entire movie, waiting for it to end.
I'm not someone who likes to be negative, but this film just felt like such a waste of investment for the creators and for anyone to watch. It ... doesn't really set any scenes for the next movie; it just kind of happens. Also, I read about the changes from the VN and I don't understand why they were changed. I feel like the way the VN played out at the start of this route would have made more sense and been WAY more entertaining than this failed attempt at being a mystery anime or whatever.
