Yes, this is a fairly standard tokusatsu action movie that will quickly be forgotten, but at the same time, all its elements are quite functional. You care about the characters, Hiromi looks great as the main character with Daiji and Kagero as support.

The interactions between Daiji, Kagerou and Hiromi were enough to keep me watching until the end and I don't regret watching it or anything. I mean, judging it as a standalone movie, sure, it's fine, in a basic kind of way. But my main problem is that it's very detached from Revice. Like, the main thing tying it to the show was the exciting premise of "Hiromi's devil appears?!", but the reveal made him irrelevant as well.

Well, I actually liked 01hers, as it continued the focus on the conflict between humans and HumaGears, had lasting consequences for the characters and story, gave some closure to the show and even set up Gai's mission in Outsiders. For Revice, pretty much everything after Episode 46 feels like filler. So, if I ranked Reiwa V-Cinemas, it would probably be Trio of Deep Sin > 01hers > Forward.
