Sword Art Online the Movie: Ordinal Scale
In 2026, a new machine called the Augma is developed to compete against the NerveGear and its successor, the Amusphere. A next-gen wearable device, the Augma doesn't have a full-dive function like its predecessors. Instead, it uses Augmented Reality to get players into the game. It is safe, user-friendly and lets users play while they are conscious, making it an instant hit on the market. The most popular game on the system is “Ordinal Scale” an ARMMORPG developed exclusively for the Augma. Asuna and the gang have already been playing OS for a while, by the time Kirito decides to join them. They’re about to find out that Ordinal Scale isn’t all fun and games…
What to know before choosing
Escaping means asking a film to supply an elsewhere solid enough that you do not have to work at believing in it. It is not a question of genre — science fiction, fantasy and adventure manage it equally well — but of density: you need a world, not just a set. That is the criterion this list is built on.
Hulu is the deepest television catalog in the country and a film catalog that rotates faster than any of its rivals — what is here this month is often gone the next, which is why a list about it is worth exactly the date it carries. Its film library leans heavily on the last thirty years and thins out sharply before that. The ad-supported tier carries the same catalog as the ad-free one, so nothing on this page is out of reach on the cheaper plan.
