This movie is...
Highly artistic in the drawing (shingo araki last movie),music (seiji yokoyama last movie) and storyline (kurumada)..
It is a dark , melancholic, but very mature in the plot.
That was the best saint seiya movie when combining all three
Sad that the plot was aborted at the end..

More of the same
Athena's knights are back for one more battle against the gods. This time is Artemis and her angels that threaten the Earth... OK... I'm a fan of the series, but still i'm amazed at the total lack of originality of this movie.
Everything is the same as the previous movies, and the series. A god wants to destroy the Earth, Athena is in danger and only the Saints can same humanity, bla bla bla. The Saints led by Seiya have to defeat several enemies, that interestingly never attack in group(to get their asses kicked more easily, I imagine),and save Athena before she bleeds to death.
The problem is that nothing in the movie holds the viewer attention.
The more annoying thing is the constant rattling of the Saints about their total devotion to Athena and the fact that they would they gladly die for her. Pratically every dialog focus on this, and it's 1h30m of film! Instead of grabbing a chance to make a movie with a different approach to the Saint Seya universe, instead we get exactly the same message of the previous movies and the series. Why bother making this then?? Another low point is the battles. Althougt the fights are very well choreographed and the movements of the characters are very fluid, there is no suspense about the outcome. The Saints take a tremendous amount of punishment, and then some, but there is no doubt that they will win in the end, normally with only one hit on the opponent. So all the fights don't make much of an impression, instead the Saints being a punching bag for 90% of the duration of the battles.
On the plus side we have an excellent animation with a good attention to detail and a very good atmosphere, particularly the way water is shown through the movie.
Only recommended for hardcore fans.

A beautiful abortion of a movie, best buried and forgotten.
Lushly animated epilogue to the series (which has, thankfully, since been retconned),featuring the Saints facing off against Moon Goddess Artemis. Would have been better off without at least half an hour of its running time; and, stripped of any interesting enemies to fight, the rather creepy religious fanaticism of Seiya and co toward their goddess, Athena, is uncomfortably prominent. To top it all off, it concludes on a decidedly undecided note, leading one to lament one's lost ninety minutes. Ah, well: at least Seiya doesn't spam the crap out of his Ryu Sei Ken attack, this time, so gratitude for minor mercies, and all that...
