Attack On Titan made it’s television debut in 2013 and became a global critical and commercial success. I remember friends of mine telling me about it and it has the same fan reverence for it as The Walking Dead and I think the shows are a fair comparison because both came from continuing graphic adaptations and both had the warning from fans, be careful. Once you get it into it, you will not want to stop.
Attack On Titan spawned a live action version of the story, but that film will never compare to the animated TV series, which even has a catchy theme song. Now the series is coming to an end with the global theatrical release of Attack On Titan: THE LAST ATTACK, which is scheduled to premiere globally as detailed below.
- February 6: Australia, New Zealand
- February 10: United States, Canada
- February 12: Finland
- February 13: Spain
- February 20: Denmark, The Netherlands
- February 21: Norway, Sweden
- February 25: Germany
- February 26: United Kingdom, Ireland
- February 27: Mexico, Chile, Peru, Brazil
- March 1: France
- March 3: Italy
The film combines the last two episodes to create a theatrical omnibus epic with gripping action, tragic consequences and high stakes as the survival of the human race is at stake.
If you are already familiar with the series, then this film will yield greater resonance and emotional involvement though casual viewers can follow easily. The animation is outstanding and if there was element that I would have changed it was the run time, which is nearly two and a half hours. Even the ending is a little bit longer than it should be because unsatisfied with one ending to the story, there are several endings that occur taking the characters well beyond the generation that they’re in and taking us perhaps centuries after the events of the story yet however meta it becomes towards the end, I think had they just ended it succinctly, it would’ve been satisfying enough. Either way stay through the entire end credits, and afterwards because the story keeps going beyond that.
