This movie was a huge let down. When I first watched season 1, I fell in love the series. I went on to read the manga to its latest chapter and I went and read the light novel series to its latest book. I then watched season 2 and realised something felt off. The quality of the season looked a bit janky and cheap throughout. Maybe the budget went down slightly due to Covid. But overall, it was somewhat okay. I at least enjoyed the arc. And then I watched this film and I shocked. The quality has comlpletely declined since season 1. I'm so disappointed in the film. As a film, its expected to be of higher quality then that of the main film. If not that, maybe the same quality as the main series. But this whole movie was subpar. It felt more like an elongated OVA. Even the OVA's seemed like they had more of a budget than this movie. I was hoping this movie would hype me up for season 3, but now i'm not really expecting much. I did not enjoy this movie. But if you did enjoy this movie, I'm glad your experience was better than mine. Maybe i'm far too critical of the movie, but I was expecting a lot after re-watching season 1 recently.  Story: 3/10 The whole film is all over the place. I was so bored by the quality of the film at the opening scene. Is was so janky and so long for no reason. By the 20 minute mark, that new character that was introduced basically finished his whole backstory of revenge and what not. Then he turned into such a boring character that was bound to fall victim to a weird ploy by the antagonists of the film. There also was a bit of inconsistency in some scenes. SPOILER ALERT: There is a scene where the Introduced ogre apparently witnessed his village being burned down. However, at the beginining of the film, he finds that his village is already in ruins. So there is quite a few inconsistancies in the plot of the film. To me, it seems that it was going for a more, 'family friendly' vibe. Because the jokes or gag like tropes just don't hit at all. It felt too light hearted, but thats just what I thought. Animation: 2/10 I'm pretty disappointed in the quality of the movie. Its quite choppy here and there. And it's also quite inconsistent throughout the entirety of the film. The particle effects during fight scenes are pretty cool at times but thats about it. And the CGI in this movie looks like a cutscene from a PS3 game. So overall, the budget in this film is a farcry from the amount used in season 1. I noticed as the years went by, the animation was on a decline, but this movie was just not it.  Sound: 4/10 The fact that it wasn't even memorable says a lot. I was quite bored and had no interest in the OST whatsoever. And that ending tracks was super bland. The only think I thought was borderline ok was the sound engeneering. But it's most likely a reuse of the season 1 sound effects. Characters: 2/10  I feel that the entirety of the film was rushed and used as a money grab seeing how the fan-base of the series is quite large/active. And since the film was rushed, majority of the characters were kinda just there. We didn't really dive deep in building a concrete story in the film. The worst part of the characters were the antagonists. They followed every generic trope for a villain you possibly could. Overall, I had no reason to get attached to any of the characters which sucks.

I hate how normal this movie was. Literally the only reason I'm rating this movie a 6/10 and not lower is because I overall love the characters and the universe, but this movie was utterly average, cliche, bad, typical, etc. I am probably one of the most disappointed fans out there because I was absolutely obsessed with the anime, amazed at the fact that the writer is actually creating a world that appeals to me PERFECTLY. I love the protagonist, the side-characters, I usually always have one thing that I dislike about an anime, as far as I was concerned, slime isekai was perfection. But, now I watched this movie, and I've been brought back to reality.  Be it the studio or writer at fault, it's unacceptable. Sometimes what animated movies do is they extend scenes unnecessarily, and here we got exactly that, multiple times. The extended scene that I found the absolute worst was when the MC was chasing/fighting the bad guy, when they could have just.... caught them in a second and interrogated them, or even used magic to find the answers. Not only is the main villain here absolutely generic, cliche and just overall terrible, but the MC is literally just playing around not doing anything. Like, in comparison to the anime, this movie had 0 thought put into it. ZERO. Literally the concept itself is flawed, because everything that happens in this movie, seems to only happen for 'additional extended action'. The protagonist literally just sits there and doesn't even bother doing what a weaker demon did for her instead.  There's so many things Rimuru can do, but doesn't do it, because then the movie would be 30 mins long max, and the writer/studio would actually have to get creative if they were to actually make Rimuru do things....  All in all, I went in with great expectations since the rest of the animated material was GREAT so far. But it seems that nobody really checks the material before it gets written/animated and released into the public. Absolutely disgusting at how cliche this movie was.
