Fullmetal Alchemist The Movie - The Conqueror of Shamballa description
The Fullmetal Alchemist theatrical feature, The Conqueror of Shamballa, takes place two years after the last episode of the popular broadcast series. Edward Elric has been transported to Earth and is living in Weimar-era Munich with Alphonse Heiderich, a young engineer who reminds him of Al. This Alphonse is working for the Thule Society, a group of Aryan fanatics who hope to cross dimensions to the world they call Shambala and acquire weapons that will ensure a German victory in the next war. Back in the world where the broadcast series took place, a restored Alphonse Elric searches for a way to bring Ed back. A combination of science and alchemy finally reunites the brothers--with unexpected consequences. Although the film is an exciting adventure that includes many of the familiar characters, viewers who haven't watched the TV series may have trouble sorting out who's who and what's where. Sadly, The Conqueror of Shamballa marks the end of director Seiji Mizushima's and screenwriter Shou Aikawa's work with the Elric brothers: together, they preserved the essence of Hiromu Arakawa's winning characters while adapting them to a new medium. Arakawa is continuing the manga, so fans may one day see further animated adventures of Ed and Al.(Rated PG: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon |

Good movie
|
| If you're buying this movie you have probably seen the series so I can spare you that. One thing I really like about this movie is the inclusion of real world history in the world Ed has gone to. It's nice to add some real history and thread our loved characters into it. Some of the plot involving Dietlinde Eckhart is a little difficult to make the leap to but it is an anime so its not that bad. The Ed and Al interactions are very sweet and its lovely to see Al following in his brother's footsteps. All in all, a good movie and an enjoyable watch. Not as much humor in it as tends to be in the series but still lovely. |
