Prequel to the Game

Establishes characters well. You could watch the movie and then turn around and play the game without missing a beat. It flows really well.
You're introduced to Flynn and Yuri and get more of an idea of how their relationship started and why they act the way they do to each other. Other characters are introduced without feeling like they are missing or should have been in the game. No strong attachments are made. It's a great movie and if you love the game you must watch this.
The story is kinda transparent and shallow but the movie focuses more on the characters. It's just telling you what happened before. Explaining who they were, who they are, and why they are the way they are in the game. It's nice to get a good feel for Flynn's background and being able to see more of Yuri's almost anti-hero personality.
The animation is great. Try to find a bluray version if you can spare the bandwidth.

On a side note. I'm not sure if I downloaded it here or not but towards the end the sound drops out and won't come back. Just an FYI.
