Mixed Feelings
Expect spoilers.


I want to start by saying that even though Digimon Adventure tri. 5: Kyousei isn't as bad as the previous one, Soushitsu, it wasn't good either. The same thing that made the fourth film go down on my concept is the same thing that sank this one.

Everything starts well with some action, so I had the impression that they would make their wrongs right, but all went down the drain went almost 3 episodes were about Meiko and the DigiDestined convincing her about things that were already said in previous films. A mention about how displeased Meiko is with Meicoomon's actions would be okay, plot-wise, but we end up with almost all DigiDestined trying to convince her that she is Meicoomon's partner and she must stay by her side, and they repeat that several times, until her decision is like "kill my digimon". Woman, Homeostasis and Yggdrasil have been trying to do that, but you guys keep butting in, anyhow it doesn't unfold like that.

What made me give a 5 instead of a 4 this time were the action scenes and Tailmon's (Gatomon, whatever you call her) mega evolution, which people were expecting to be Ophanimon, but it was a fallen version of it (also you guys remember that episode from the original series where people have been saying that Hikari was in love with Taichi? When Hikari saw that Taichi disappeared and she was saying things like "I must be by his side" all the memories came back, if you ship TK and Hikari it's time to drop that ship) thanks to Hikari's incapacity to deal with a possible Taichi's death.

What I said in the last review stands for this one as well, and I'm afraid to say that, being the next film the last one, Digimon Adventure tri. was poorly written, it raises more questions than answers, the concept of Homeostasis, Yggdrasil, Hackmon's intentions and many other things are left unexplained, maybe those concepts were better explained in other series of Digimon, but being tri. a direct continuation of the original two (also nothing yet about those 4 DigiDestined from the 2nd season) they should have explained it better.

I do hope that film 6 will be a longer episode, because from experience of film 4 and 5 they waste too much time with information that either is repetitive or unnecessary.
