I heard reviews praising this movie for its dark plot - but to be honest, it's much shallower than the hype made it out to be. There's a theme it's trying to get across, but instead of delving deeply into it and creating a rich story, it just pads time with drawn-out battle scenes and panning shots.
On top of that, it takes a third of the movie's runtime just to get interesting; and it's full of details that you won't understand if you haven't watched the show, details that end up being irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
The battle sequences and creepy vibes were the only things that held my interest. It ends in a beautiful way, but it's a shallow sort of beauty where it just feels undeservedly melodramatic.
Feels more like a TV movie than a theater movie. If you like Pokémon, that might just hold you over for the 1 hour 30 minutes. Otherwise it'll be a real bore-fest.
