As a long-time fan of the Solo Leveling webtoon, I was thrilled to see it hit the big screen
Story
Over a decade after 'gates' connecting worlds appeared, awakening 'hunters' with superpowers, weakest hunter Sung Jinwoo encounters a double dungeon and accepts a mysterious quest, becoming the only one able to level up, changing his fate..
The movie starts with a one-hour recap of Season 1, which, while a bit lengthy for my taste, served as a solid introduction for newcomers
I brought a friend who hadn’t seen the first season, and to my surprise, he could follow the story without difficulty-although the transitions between scenes and episodes felt a bit abrupt, even to me.
These were breathtaking
After the recap, the real highlight begins: the first two episodes of Season 2 (presumably).
Sony’s collaboration was evident in the polished production
The animation and design perfectly captured the essence of the webtoon, delivering the same thrilling, high-quality visuals fans have come to love.
For fans and newcomers alike, it’s a fantastic appetizer for what’s to come
This theatrical event left me hyped for the upcoming season and eager for its release on Crunchyroll.
