Review of RahXephon: The Motion Picture - Pluralitas Concentio

Do NOT watch this movie before you watch the series. RahXephon: Pluralitas Concentio is basically the series with some scenes altered, story arch change, some character changes and a slightly different and better explained ending. Although it may be intended to be a stand alone movie, the condensing of 26 episodes into 120minutes leaves the movie disjointed and confusing. Everything is too rushed and the characters undeveloped. However the ending gives a better understanding of what happened then the TV series. All in all I cannot really recommend this movie as a stand alone movie. Even for those who have watched the TV series, I think it would be better served going to the ending to see a better explanation of what and why.
