Gekijô ban Kara no kyôkai: Dai yon shô - Garan no dô

'Hollow Shrine' is the fourth movie of the series, set a bit over two years after the second one and about a month before the third one. Thus, we now know everthing that's happened before the first movie.

Sadly, what has happened can be summed up by a single sentence, maybe two if you want to go into detail. Similar to the previous movies, there's very little actual worldbuilding. At least we finally learn a few more details about some of the characters. After four movies. Ah... From a technical standpoint, the movie is excellent. The soundtrack is fantastic, the animation and background are lovely, the cinematography is well done.

I'm still not all that impressed with the actual content, though. It's barely interesting enough that I've put up with all the confusion until now. 'Paradox Spiral', the fifth movie (set after the first), is supposed to be better in that regard, but it's also twice as long... hrmm.
