Just watched the movie and it is bad.
First thing that struck me is the pace. The movie feels very rushed. Each character gets introduced and befriended by the MC way too fast. Plot contrivance is a euphemism at this point. Nothing feels really earned. There are some narrated portions doing ellipses in these girls lives that would have actually been really interesting to see and that's the reason why I think this story would have made more sense as a series. You would have been able to show all these interesting moments of bonding and better develop the characters.
Talking about characters, there's basically only one,
...
the MC. All the other characters are paper thin. At one point, the MC voice over has to tell you what the characters are supposed to be like because they never show it. The character development of the MC boils down to: I was mean, selfish and manipulative and I was wrong, now I'm not anymore, I'm a good person. End.
No particular soundtrack struck me as good, they are decent at least not grating on he ear (best I can say). You won't be able to remember any of them after the movie.
The production value/animation something to be expected from a movie over an anime series at least is nothing to write home about. It is average compared to anime series I would even say. The only moment they could have shown their budget would have been the dance sequence but it was shitty 3d instead (like in many series nowadays).
Character design is subpar that ranges from meh to already seen in a 100 anime to plain distateful.
As for the story overall it had potential but due to the pace it ended up pretty uninteresting. Maybe like 45 min on getting all the cast together then some conflict (when you think the movie is finally going to be interesting) but only for like 15 min before wallowing in the aftermath and resolution.
