This won’t be a problem for long-time fans of Persona 3, but on a couple occasions I wondered how I was expected to know something the movie took for granted. Some scenes basically demand that the viewers have played the game to completion before, while others expect that you’ve seen (and remember) the previous films. To start, Falling Down is not an easy entry point to the series-as one might expect. Falling Down treats the source material with even more love than the previous two movies, but forced storytelling drags the whole experience down. Falling Down is enjoyable, but the cracks in adapting a 100+ hour RPG while simultaneously developing complete stories are starting to show. Now, with its recent release on blu-ray, Persona 3 The Movie #3: Falling Down aims to continue on with an adaptation of one of the most critical parts of the game’s narrative. The second movie, Midsummer Knight’s Dream, was a solid follow up with a few issues. The first film, Spring of Birth, started the series off strong. From the very start, the Persona 3 movies have walked a tight line between adapting an extremely long game, and telling complete stories in 90 minutes.
