The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya - 8/10
Good film, I enjoyed it quite a bit, rather more ponderous and melancholy than I was expecting though, very different tone from the main series in some respects.
While I wouldn't say that the film ever dragged, one thing you could never call it would be 'pacy', having gotten used to most anime films being around the 90 minute mark, a 2 and a half hour one took me rather by surprise.
I enjoyed the greater focus on Nagato and I felt the cinematography...can you use that word for animation?...was excellent. Many of the scenes looked very much like they could've been shot in a live-action film and really helped sell the drama and introspective moments.
