Synopsis

As they continue their journey through the Johto region, Satoshi and his friends visit Altomare, an island city that hosts an annual racing event called the Pokémon Water Race. While Takeshi and Kasumi are enjoying themselves, strange things seem to be happening to Satoshi—he somehow loses the water race, sees some women attack a girl with their Pokémon, and despite them saving her, the girl later denies ever seeing Satoshi and Pikachu before!

Fortunately for Satoshi, his confusion clears up as he learns that the girl he and Pikachu saved earlier was actually a Pokémon named Latias, who likes to disguise herself as her human friend, Kanon. Latias and another Pokémon, Latios, are known as the Eon Pokémon, as they inhabit and guard Altomare along with a mystical blue sphere called the Soul Dew. An ancient legend of Altomare is highly connected to the Eon Pokémon and the Soul Dew, and is well known among the locals—as well as among Latias' earlier assailants, the thief sisters Zanner and Lyon. As the thieves attempt to capture both the Eon Pokémon and the Soul Dew, Satoshi is forced to act in order to stop them from bringing disaster to Altomare.

This is definitely my favorite Pokémon movie. The storyline is interesting. Ash, Misty, and Brock are in the city of Alto Mare, which seems to be heavily inspired by the city of Venice, Italy. Very cool. The guardians of the city are the Pokémon Latios and Latias, who Ash later meets and befriends. Little do they know, Team Rocket duo Annie and Oakly are also in Alto Mare with evil intention. They want to capture Latios and Latias and use their power to take control of a machine known as the Defense Mechanism of Alto Mare. This movie has interesting story and good characters. Latios ...

A step up from the fourth, though not as good as the first 3.

The main storyline started out boring, but it got very interesting once the Soul Dew was introduced. Things really picked up after that, and it stayed engaging until the end.

There was some nice bits of humor throughout the movie, and nice action. Latias was sort of annoying, however.

But then there's the animation...yipes. The animation in this movie was OUTSTANDING. Pretty much every scene in the movie looked lovely, and the scenery and atmosphere of Alto Mare was captured beautifully. In fact, a good argument could be made that this has the ...

Mixed Feelings
Of all the movies with the original trio, this is the one I never remember for some reason, and I'm really not sure why. It's not a bad movie. Maybe not one of Pokémon's best, but still perfectly enjoyable.

There are some low points. The villains aren't at all memorable. Team Rocket is there just to be there. Even Misty and Brock are there just to be there in this one. (Seriously, I don't think there's any other movie where they do less.) Even Ash doesn't really learn or grow in any meaningful way. It felt like a typical showcase movie-- introducing kids to the ...
