Synopsis

Mii Snowdon is left on her own after her father disappears while investigating the mysterious letter-shaped Pokémon called the Unown. The only clue to her father's disappearance is a box containing several tiles. While playing with these tiles, Mii makes a wish to see her father again, and this wish awakens the Unown—who summon the lion-like, legendary Pokémon Entei to act as her father.

Meanwhile, Satoshi heads to Greenfield with his faithful Pokémon companion, Pikachu, to meet with his friends, Kasumi and Takeshi. When they reach the area, they are shocked to find the place crystallized. They quickly learn that the Unown are responsible for this, and that they will need to be defeated in order to restore Greenfield to its former beauty.

The situation becomes personal when Satoshi's mother is kidnapped by Entei. To discover why his mother was taken away, Satoshi, along with his friends and Pokémon, must travel the crystallized landscape to confront Entei and the Unown.

Watched years ago when i was like 8 or something, now with 25 i rewached just because i was wanting to watch something related with pokemon and this movie was one of the nuch that camse to my mind.

Now pokemon its an series that doesnt stand out by the complexity of his argument or their characters, almost everyone knows it or at least saw some caps of the series or one of the more than 20 movies that there is to the date, i gonna review the move based in the genere and the audience that its aimed the overall franchise of pokemon and ... not put it at the lv of others series that doesnt have anyhting to do not only for the genere but the general goal of it.

The plot of the movie its pretty simple and sure it might not be the most epic in comparasion with mewtwo or lugia but i think it was one of the good litters of installments that had before it started to actually burn out the same formula over and over again, even more when this one had an approaching kinda refreshing in how they wanted to take the story rather more simple without too many flashing lights and fancy things (if you know what im mean). I liked the fact that in this case the characters has a relationship with our protagonist although was really shame that didnt delve more than an mere mention here and there, the duration wasnt really an problem but i think was wasted in a way focusing in the cclasics pacing that we are used to in this movies it could be nice delving more in the unown, the story of snowdown mii and her mother (that only appears in the last couple minutes without any kind of explanation), or a little glimpse in the relation between ash and mii rather than the two only photos we can see, getting a view a little bigger of Greenfield and their surroundings.

I think that many of the movies of pokemon even thourgh are pretty simple and have a clear message i find it frequently (sadly) that somethimes presents ideas interestings but just touch it really superficially and make me furious i mean not because most of your audience are children has to have such formulatic and served in silver plate per say the story and characters, even then i can percive those little touches from time to time adding a litlte more of spice and interest although never are really carried until the end and end up like just mere wasted potentials, movies like the one of celebi (time travels) ,deoxys (the pokemon itselft as well as the city where happen everything has so much interest to delv into) or lucario (with the war between kingdom that was bassicly wasted ) and many others more.

One thing that i find beautiful in this movie are the backgrounds and i mean are mesmerizing, like many anime of begginings of 2000 the animation in general looked so much better (at least in my opinion) this just make me fall in love with eveything about it, was clean ,crisp and with so vivids colors.

RESUME

As i mentioned above this movie is of the few that were pretty nice in the overall scheme of what is pokemon, it has his problems (like every single pokemon movie) but still i think i could appreciate many things of it. If you like pokemon or at least have some interest to watch something related i could reccomend it , just dont expect anything crazy about the story or characters, i like to delv in the little details that are portrayed in the movies(not only of pokemon but others anime too) and pay attention to the settings and little ideas that are propose (but never are really exploited hehe).
I give it an 8 based in the other movies that i could see of pokemon this one at least deserve an try to watch once and see if you like it.

Mixed Feelings

The movie starts off with a slightly ridiculous but cute short film about Pikachu's adventure with the Pichu brothers. (It's actually the lenght of a normal TV episode, about 20mins, so no wonder it felt so long!) While that one was okay, it was a bit childish, not to mention felt a bit drawn out.

The actual movie itself was better than the second Pokémon movie. The plot was calmer and more detailed, the art was beautiful, and I liked it quite a lot.

Sometimes the events did get a bit repetitive, and when the plot had a few crucial turns near the end, I wasn't sure ...

Not Recommended

This is going to sound harsh but it's just on my personal enjoyment, I'm not trying to talk on the objective quality of the movie or challange someone's opinion. Disclaimer has been placed.

Spell of the Unknown is a borderline emotionally-manipulative movie for simple minded buffoons. It's just trying to hit simple uwu emotional beats but if you're a little cynical like me, you'll see how mind-numbingly basic & uncreative the story is. No, SotU, pulling heart strings is not enough to have merit as a movie, you gotta try a little harder than that.

The "villain" girl is self-righteous, unreasonable & just aggression inducing ...
