Unfortunately though the second half of the film just doesn't have any stopping power. It made me think that the current drought of meh Pokemon films was over. To be completely honest, I was really liking the first half of this film. THIS IS NOT A RECAP FILM and honestly I applaud their balls for trying to do what they tried to do. After this event though (minus some other scenes regarding Pokemon Ash adds to his team) we dive completely into new content. What occurs afterwards is a sort of montage of key moments within the first season's content leading up to the 3rd gym battle. There are some wtf animation moments to be found in the film but it wouldn't be a OLM film without that sort of thing. It is, for the most part, a pretty nice looking film. I quite liked the visual style since it was blending in the older character artwork style with updated backgrounds. They dedicate around 10-15 minutes for this content. I wouldn't say it is a shot for shot recreation (it's been awhile since I've seen that episode) but it is pretty close. The film opens with what is essentially episode one of the first anime. No longer is there content present that appeal to both a younger and older audience it is all for the younger generation. It is painfully easy to tell that the past 9 or so films including this one are full blown for the kids. However, the main bit of content (especially the films) are just not for me. of the TV shows (Pokemon Advanced, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, Pokemon Sun and Moon, ext) and films (Pokemon Heroes, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, ext) that I really enjoy. I would describe myself as a closet Pokemon fan. Big shout out to Fathom Events for continuously offering anime films in the United States. It had one showing at my local Cinemark and no matter the audience (mostly kids), I wanted to see it. I was pretty excited to get the chance to see this film on the big screen. I will however touch on material that is present in the first (Red, Blue, Yellow, ext games) and second generation content since this film has elements of those within it.*** ***This review will hold off on any major spoilers within the film.
