I saw it back in mid September, a few times. It was goergeous as is to be expected frome S-E and the story, though cliche, wasn't half bad, but they could have done so much more with it. The whole thing seemd a little too isolated to me. I guess I've just been spoiled by they expansiveness and in-depth character developement of the games. To expand on a point made by someone else, I enjoyed the fact that the sword-combining throughout the movie built up to the very beautiful ultimate limit-break Omni-slash. Sure the movie echoed the original story, but, if you paid attention, that was the entire point.
I will be purchasing the dvd when it eventually releases in the US.
