To start, I was never the biggest fan, and I fell off of the game theories and lore speculation around the time the third game came out. I already knew going in I wasn’t going to catch all the references or lore. That being said, I was expecting there to at least be a coherent, if simple, story.

Without getting into spoilers, I thought the movie was bad, mostly because of the final act. The film has a simple premise (which isn’t a bad thing), but still felt the need to throw curveballs with zero explanation. Several characters were frustratingly driven by nothing other than the urge to move the plot forward, only having motivation when the plot demands them to reveal it out of nowhere. The animatronics themselves had no unique characteristics or quirks to them (except Foxy, but only barely), and were all basically interchangeable. I thought the movie was maybe average, at least until the final act severely brought it down for me.
