Also, for those interested in voice acting, the Japanese actors are as solid as ever, doing especially well the final scenes. Both fit their scenes perfectly, and are still great songs on their own. Without a doubt though, the best songs are the two new vocal tracks, which bookend the movie. There are a few original instrumental pieces that fit the vibe of Persona 3, while also bringing a fresh atmosphere unique to the movie. More impressive though, is the collection of new tracks. The game music is implemented well in the film, having just as much of an impact here as it did in the original game. To the surprise of very few, the music in Midsummer Knight’s Dream is fantastic. For fans of the game, I think it’ll be difficult to watch her Orgia activation sequence without getting goose bumps.Īnother aspect of the presentation that’s worth noting is the audio. Some of the most impressive shots involve Aigis darting about, dodging attacks, and raining bullets on the enemy shadows. While each character gets their share of screen time during these fight sequences, it is Aigis that steals the show. Each fight puts new demands on the characters, and seeing the protagonists work together to overcome each new challenge is a delight. The strong direction is especially apparent in the fight scenes, which combines tons of fluid animation with creative framing to really keep the viewer on the edge of their seat. If you’re looking for a new wallpaper, you’re bound to find a good shot in this movie. Both the characters and the backgrounds are helped by a smart sense of direction, which culminates in several stand out shots. The Dark Hour is once again highlighted by dark shadows and unnatural smears of blue and red, creating a palpable sense of unease. The world the characters inhabit is simply beautiful, even when it’s distorted by the Dark Hour.
The characters are all sharply designed, and in a fun twist for fans of the game, actually seem to possess more than one change of clothes. Like Spring of Birth before it, Midsummer Knight’s Dream has a fantastic sense of style. Enjoyable from the very first fight, Midsummer Knight’s Dream is still a good movie, but it’s held back from greatness by a few missteps.īefore I talk about those missteps, something has to be said about the film’s presentation. However, P3M#2 also has a host of pacing problems that impact some important character development.
At its best, P3M#2 is a beautifully realized world, with fluid action and impressive direction.
Entitled Persona 3 The Movie #2: Midsummer Knight’s Dream, the film is another impressive adaptation of a very story heavy game. Nearly ten months after the blu-ray release of Spring of Birth, the sequel is finally here. Persona 3 The Movie #2: Midsummer Knight’s Dream is a very enjoyable movie with great fights that succeeds in spite of some clumsy character development.
