SPOILERS FOR BORUTO: NARUTO THE MOVIE AHEAD!!!
start [ ˈstärt ]
Definition of start:
noun
A beginning of movement, activity, or development.
This marks the start of Boruto, the best era of the Naruto franchise.
Plot: 10/10 | 
The movie quickly introduces us to the concept of scientific ninja tools and their capabilities. This was a nice touch because the level of technology in the Naruto franchise has always been erratic. Boruto wants to earn his dads praise, but Naruto is too busy working as the ~~mayor~~ Hokage. Boruto sees the upcoming Chunin Exams as an opportunity to gain his fathers attention. During the Chunin Exams, Boruto continuously contemplates using scientific ninja tools to aid him and eventually caves in to using them. All Boruto wants is to succeed so his father will acknowledge him, but instead Naruto punishes Boruto for using scientific ninja tools. Shortly after the Ootsutsuki invade Konoha and Naruto gets captured in order to save the village. The Kage plus Sasuke and Boruto rush to rescue Naruto and eventually do. Naruto and Sasuke have Momoshiki nearly defeated, but Katasuke unknowingly uses scientific ninja tools to revitalize him. This leads Boruto to delivering the final blow on Momoshiki and cementing himself as a Ootsutsuki leveled character in the Naruto-verse. Naruto finally decides to be a dad and acknowledges his son for his achievements.

I guess you have to save the world from an extra-terrestrial deity in order for your parents to acknowledge you.
Boruto's character development throughout this movie is among the best of the best. He starts the movie as a child that only wants his fathers approval and becomes a true shinobi who understands what it takes to protect those that he cares about by the end. Most people only pass off Boruto as a spoiled kid, but do not actually look at how he has grown and become something much more.
The other new generation characters have much less screen time due to the constraints of the movie's runtime, but are still very interesting. All of them have a combination of their parents' arsenals which already makes them better than their parents were at this age. Although their skill sets are similar to their parents, their personalities are unique and make them very interesting characters.
The ~~next~~ current generation of Boruto has a lot of potential to be explored and are looking to be the better version of the side cast from Naruto.
"The new generation always surpasses the previous one"
The animation for this movie was handled by Studio Pierrot just like previous entries into the Naruto franchise. Studio Pierrot really brings their A-game in this movie. The art and animation looks among the best of the best. There are even points in this movie where it is almost at the level of something like Demon Slayer, but not quite surpassing. On top of just the quality, the fight choreography in this movie is second to none. The fights in this movie are the best the Naruto franchise has seen up until this point. This very well may be Studio Pierrot's best work to this date.
The OST of this movie captures the feel that the Naruto OST delivered before and even gave a few new additions. The OST was never the problem for the Naruto franchise, but was actually one of its strong suits. One of the new additions, "Spin and Burst," is probably one of if not the best tracks in the entirety of the Naruto franchise. With that said, the OST for this movie is top tier and does no part in dragging this movie down.
The opening for this movie was done by none other than KANA-BOON. They have previously worked on "Silhouette," the 16th opening of Naruto: Shippuden. KANA-BOON has blown "Silhouette" out of the water with this new opening theme, "DIVER." Among movie opening themes, "DIVER" is among the best of the best.
This movie saved the Naruto franchise and now has elevated it to even greater heights. When it's all said and done we will look back at this movie that started it all and remember greatness. The reputation of the Naruto franchise has been saved and the start of the Boruto franchise is here.
