Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven's Feel - III. Spring Song

The Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City has reached a turning point in which the lives of all participants are threatened as the hidden enemy finally reveals itself. As Shirou Emiya, Rin Toosaka, and Illyasviel von Einzbern discover the true, corruptive nature of the shadow that has been rampaging throughout the city, they realize just how dire the situation is. In order to protect their beloved ones, the group must hold their own against the seemingly insurmountable enemy force—even if some of those foes were once their allies, or perhaps, something more intimate.

As the final act of this chaotic war commences, the ideals Shirou believes will soon be challenged by an excruciating dilemma: is it really possible to save a world where everything seems to have gone wrong?

This review covers for the entire trilogy, not just Spring Song.

The Heaven's Feel trilogy served as the "True Ending" of Fate/Stay Night, and I think this is the best version I've watched (I haven't watched the original Studio Deen Fate/Stay Night, but I don't think I'll like it as much as I liked this one), as it felt like the most complex and completed ending. The first part Presage Flower I think was solid, but Lost Butterfly and Spring Song completely surpassed my expectations both in terms.

The animation of Heaven's Feel was insane, and goes to show how much Ufotable can truly cook. Like this ... might just be in terms of raw animation talent one of, if not the best I've ever seen.

I think this is the arc that truly filled in the gaps of Shirou as a character, I wasn't the biggest fan of Shirou in Unlimited Blade Works but Heaven's Feel made him such a well-rounded character, no longer blindly trusting his own justice that he believed in and felt more mature, as well as having some incredible scenes. It's also great to see other characters like Rider and Illya fully shine. One of the Fate Series' best traits have always been its incredible casts of characters, and this series pushed this even further.

Overall score:
Presage Flower: 8/10
Lost Butterfly: 9/10
Spring Song: 9.5/10

If you want a movie with a lot of good animation, go for it, this one is full of that, but as an adaptation it fails in a lot of ways, this is not just an "ok" adaptation, it's essentially a 20 lines essay about a 200 pages book, so the plot might be confusing, the characters be much less interesting than what they actually are, and yes, even the fights mostly lack in comparisson to the original material, so for the true experience i recommend to check out the Visual Novel.
Aside from that, if you don't actually know the source material, you might have ... a pretty good time, visually it's great, soundtrack is cool as well, the plot is still pretty good since the original material is amazing, but it's still like comparing a casual breakfest to a complete Christmas meal, it still has a great taste, but far from the real deal.

This opinion will be based on the trilogy after watching the three today. As a Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night: UBW fan, I can say these three movies are bad. Period.

I was very excited to watch all of these and when I started I was not only taken aback by the pacing of the narrative but also by the character's lack of development whatsoever. As a trilogy, it's just not good story-wise, character wise. In general terms I think I'd say these are shallow films. Pretty, very much so, but only pretty. There's no depth. There's no development. There's no clear ending. Story-arcs are incomplete ... or rushed. Characters' personalities are abhorrent. I don't really mind falling into clichés, but Sakura was just a disappointment. Second film being basically soft-p0rn or straight up p0rn... yea I could not make sense of that.
I won't argue about Sakura and Shiro being canon (cuz I guess it has some truth to it) but in my eyes there was never an inch of romantic love between the two, they only resembled sibilings to me. So the whole romance story line just felt forced and pushed.
There's little context as to when all of this is happening and it's frustrating as audience because you are watching very much confused all the time what's happening onscreen. One minute they're doing daily life and the next minute they're fighting between Servants-Masters. In any of the three movies there's a proper explanation as to what's going to happen next. It seems like Ufotable only went for pretty fights and nice animations/soundtrack, but nowadays that shouldn't be the aim to be honest.

Yes, it has impecable animations and fight scenes. It has impecable color grading scenery and a very good soundtrack. If they didn't have any of these, they wouldn't have probably released them at all.
Do I recommend you to watch these? Absolutely not. Go for the tv-anime, original ones. Despite lacking character-arc narrative explanation (which I think it's a general issue with the Fate Series), at least storyline is a lot better put together and there aren't as many holes. They also don't jump into stupid free fan service.
