Synopsis

High-tech LaRousse City is a pretty impressive place to visit—and a pretty impressive place for a Pokémon battle, too! Satoshi heads straight for their renowned Battle Tower, but things don't turn out too well when his battle partner turns out to be a scared boy named Tooi. Because of a frightening childhood incident, Tooi is scared of all Pokémon—even cute ones like Pikachu!

There's a lot more to be frightened by when Deoxys shows up and takes control of the city, shutting down the machines and taking everyone captive. One Pokémon that is not amused is the Legendary Rayquaza, and it will do whatever it takes to remove this invader from its territory! Meanwhile, Satoshi, Tooi, and all their friends may be caught in the middle, but they're certainly not out of the fight!

I think this might actually be the best Pokémon film so far. Reading the reviews I'm surprised they're not more positive, it's definitely better than those before it.

This film scared me as a kid, Deoxys was genuinely weird and terrifying. The fact that it's an alien with weird tentacles and a cold, unemotional face was scary. The damage it causes and how it put a city into evacuation and shut down all the electronics, creates dark chase scenes that terrified me. Obviously I'm older now, but taking a step back and re-evaluating the film I still think it is the best and rather harrowing when ... compared to the previous films. The CGI is much better in this film, and while it is noticeable, it never distracts from the enjoyment or is bad like in the Jirachi movie. Obviously this is due to technological advancements, but it's still something to be appreciated.

While the plot follows the formula set out by previous films (new city, new legendaries, new characters) it's a lot more believable than previous entries. This is because life and personality has been added into this futuristic city that sets apart from those before it. Things such as futuristic hot dog stands, bins, passports, and walkways add a charm to the city. The general architecture is rather nice and is a good contrast to the rather dull, boring areas we have explored previously. Pokémon live and breathe throughout this city, Plusle, Minun and Munchlax - while there to sell plushies - add much needed character that is lacking through Team Rocket. The trio of Pokémon are much more enjoyable to watch and makes much more sense than the producers trying to shoehorn in Team Rocket anyway they can. I'm surprised they haven't done something similar to this before.

The thing that sets this film apart from the others is that Ash really isn't the main character. Yes he steps in and saves the day at the end, but this whole film is Tory's. A child suffering from PTSD after experiencing a near death experience of being crushed by Walrein's is an interesting concept. We hardly see people in the anime that have had bad experiences with Pokémon and Tory fills that gap. I like his development throughout this film, he understands the Walrein's didn't mean to scare him (and that they were only reacting that way due to Rayquaza and Deoxys fighting), but he can't look past his bad experiences in case something like that happens again. You can see how he wasn't always scared of them (as he finds a Spheal cute in the beginning), he was simply just in the wrong place at the wrong time at an impressionable age that has shaped his development. I also like how his "friend" was a Pokémon the whole time, he has been appreciative of Pokémon since his trauma, just in his own special way. If Pokémon were real, these things would cause fucking chaos, and we would have a lot of Tory's throughout our world. I'm glad we have a film were this is explored and his appreciation for Pokémon comes back after the events of the film.

Obviously this film is much more enjoyable if you're a Pokémon fan (as Rayquaza is one of my favourites), but I'm convinced you could show this to a non-Pokémon fan and just maybe, they wouldn't think it was dogshit as I believe they would with the previous ones.

Don't call it a comeback! But this was the best movie since the third.

The storyline took a while to get going and was mostly an excuse to do fun stuff in Vancouver. But when it did get going, it was excellent, more sci-fi than fantasy and all for the better. In particular, it reminded me a lot of the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and given that I really liked that movie this made me happy.

There was nice comic relief throughout and the action scenes, while not QUITE as good as some other movies, were great and intense.

Above all though was the FANTASTIC ...

I have no interest in watching the Advanced Generation anime. However, this film caught my eye.

Long story short, this film is pretty cool I guess. However there are a few scenes that bored me (ex. The Battle Tower). I also didn’t like Jessie and Jame’s voices.

There are a few things I liked:
- Tory and his character development
- the scene with the Pokémon at the playground
- the lore behind Deoxys
- This Side of Paradise

...
