One battle scene between Al, a character called Wrath and a beast called Gluttony (it’s subtle isn’t it) is particularly impressive, as they leap about like they’re in The Matrix, gracefully dodging killer blows like it’s nothing. It’s stylishly directed too when things are getting fraught and fights are happening, all swooping shots and close ups on bionic appendages charging up. Of course it suffers from the usual bad acting and dialogue that blights a lot of anime, but at least it looks and animates beautifully. There’s an attempt at the start of the movie to give the heroes Edward and Alphonse Elric some backstory (Alphonse spent most of the series as a suit of armour due to an alchemy cock up, whilst Ed’s missing an arm) in their own world before it transpires that Ed’s merely telling his story to some guy in our world, where Ed’s being transported to after sacrificing himself to get his brother’s body back.Īs messy as it seems though, Conqueror Of Shamballa is sporadically entertaining at least.
#FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST CONQUEROR OF SHAMBALLA FULL MOVIE SERIES#
Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror Of Shamballa (劇場版 鋼の錬金術師 シャンバラを征く者 or Gekijōban Hagane No Renkinjutsushi: Shanbara O Yuku Mono) isn’t worth bothering with if you haven’t watched the series that precedes it, as it’ll just be an impenetrable mess filled with hideous monsters, wild haircuts, steampunk magic stuff and the obligatory Nazis.
