.hack//G.U. Trilogy (2008)

The number of PKs is increasing. Haseo is hunting Tri-Edge because he's angsty and he wants revenge. Things get weird.
Trilogy is a (kind of) retelling of the three PS2 .hack//G.U. games, but they've been condensed into 90+ minutes of animation, so it's got some major pacing problems. It feels like a series of character upgrades and boss battles strung together most of the time. It doesn't help that it suffers greatly from the dead emptiness that plagues most CGI movies.
The ending is the most engaging part, but it's a struggle to make it that far.
