Synopsis
After a mysterious prisoner with only a few weeks left on his sentence breaks out of prison in Central City, the Elric brothers attempt to track him down. The search leads them to Table City in the southwestern country of Creta, where Alphonse rescues a young alchemist named Julia from the very man they are trying to capture. In the thick of the fight, they literally tumble into Julia's home turf, the slums of Milos Valley, and are embroiled in the grassroots rebellion of her people.

San Francisco Chronicle
With excellent animation, gobs of action, mystical mayhem and more twists and turns than you can count, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos - the latest installment of the anime sensation from Japan - is not likely to disappoint its fans. Or the uninitiated. - 63
Slant Magazine
Manages to be an entertaining and faithful expansion on the original material while being inconsequential to it. - 63
Miami Herald
Like a lot of anime, the movie remains entertaining even when you have no idea what's going on. - 60
Village Voice
It's silly and excessive, but Fullmetal Alchemist occasionally strikes a note of adolescent truth, as when Ed wishes for "some way to get our bodies back." - 50
Boston Globe
Just because a Japanese animated film is screening at the Museum of Fine Arts doesn't mean that you can count on Miyazaki-caliber artistry. - 50
The New York Times
The widescreen canvas is an improvement over television's limited expanse. But if you're not among the indoctrinated, don't bother. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Fans, go be with your people. Others, approach cautiously.
