Gorgeous but otherwise underwhelming

From its stunning animations to the lovely soundtrack, Fate/stay night [Heaven's Feel] delivers production values that are off the charts. Unfortunately, that is pretty much where the magic ends.The story is a bit of a mess, incomprehensible to everyone but the die-hard fans of the series. I have casually watched Fate Zero (i.e. The prequel series) and Unlimited Blade Works (i.e. The alternate story path series) and nevertheless regularly found myself confused. As a stand-alone movie Presage Flower simply doesn't work, but even as the first installment of a three-parter it is heavily flawed.The mediocre story isn't helped but the terribly bland characters, featuring the earnestly wholesome orphan boy protagonist (He wants to be a hero of justice!), the demure and passive love interest (I'm sure she has no terrible secrets at all.), that serious mediaeval swordwoman most people vaguely know from pop culture, the obligatory adorable yet homicidal little girl, and the even more obligatory miniskirt-wearing tsundere with a twin-tail hairstyle. And I'm afraid that these were the sums total of their characterisations. Do they have dreams, fears, desires beyond their most defining feature? I sure don't know, but hey, that sword fight with the magic beams sure looked nifty!I wish I could say that the other two movies make up for Presage Flower's weaknesses, but although they are better, they still aren't great. Altogether, Heaven's Feel was not worth the time investment for me, but I'm sure fans of the franchise will get their fill.
