The plot takes place at the beginning of the 20th century, in a reality where alchemy is real, extremely developed and respected. The plot features brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric who, after attempting the forbidden technique of human transmutation, suffer the consequences. Alphonse loses his entire body while Edward loses his left leg. Edward then sacrifices his right arm to save his brother's soul by attaching it to a metal suit of armor. Edward is then given mechanical prosthetics known as "automail" in place of his missing arm and leg. Upon acceptance into the State Alchemists, he is given the nickname "Fullmetal Alchemist", all while searching with Alphonse for the legendary philosopher's stone, that will repair their bodies. —Olivia Schreuder

Trivia
Atom Mizuishi was brought on as a motion-capture actor for Alphonse Elric. Director Fumihiko Sori was so impressed with his performance that he cast Mizuishi as Alphonse's voice actor too, with approval from Alphonse's original voice actor Rie Kugimiya.

Goofs
In the manga and anime, Edward Elric (Ryosuke Yamada) is shown as coming up to only the shoulders of the major supporting characters (Roy Mustang, Riza Hawkeye, and Maes Hughes, for example). In this movie, not only is he a lot closer to the heights of the supporting characters, he is also taller than Winry Rockbell (Tsubasa Honda).

Quotes
[from trailer]
Edward Elric: [to his brother] promise I'll get our bodies back.

7/10

A good attempt

Overall, I enjoyed the movie. Is it perfect, no far from it. I do think it's much more faithful to the source material then the live action Death Note was, like Death Note it is a very ambitious movie trying to pack a lot of story into a short amount of time. As a result, some characters are omitted and the story is condensed. To be honest, it felt like I was watching a fan-made movie with a big budget. This is not a bad thing, actually it was refreshing because it makes me believe those who worked on it really cared deeply about the original anime and did their best to show it. Other reviewer's issues with the show are right, the acting wasn't the best and I would have liked to have seen more comedy. Also elements of the story were passed over or not explained. What I did like was the homunculus, I thought they were done very well. While the story was condensed, it was still easy to follow and the movie had a good (sometimes too fast) pace.
