Saw Resurrection.

Spoiler:

Pretty decent I think. It feels like fanservice (in the sense of being a party for existing CG fans) overall but it's left open-ended enough that they could launch a new series continuing from this if they wanted.

The overall plot feels to me more like Mao and C.C's plot back in R1, IE C.C putting to rest one of her lost sheep from the Geass cult. Virtually everyone shows up in one way or other but it's really C.C's story as well as (obviously) Lelouch's more than anything else.


The movie thread itself is locked but I'll say this though.....the main plot points in the World of C were quite confusing. C.C reviving Lelouch was straightforward enough....but what happened with Shamna and C.C as well as the blockage in the World of C was rather unclear

For starters, who was that blocking the flow of World of C? Shamna or Charles? At first it looked like it was Charles trying to consume Lelouch....but later it looked like that dark orb is Shamna. And how long has Shamna been in there? Lelouch's put her to sleep plan was only around half a day long but she speaks with C.C as if she had been there for centuries long before the events of the movie. Did she spend countless loops fighting for her brother or is she simply that old?

And when C.C says she should let go, what impact did that have? Did Shamna do anything as a result? All we see is some warped scene of Shalio meeting her after he is physically killed followed by the blockage dissolving and.....something saving Lelouch and Nunally followed by the rain of shooting stars after the bomb in the temple goes off.







On another note, Lelouch was pretty lucky Shamna went momentarily dumb there. The most natural thing to do when she heard that Lelouch potentially had the same Geass was to immediately off herself and from then on operate on that premise, adapting as required while waging a time travel war. Instead she lost her weapon and got subdued.
