For those who grew up in the 90's you may remember the 4kids adaptation of the popular (second to pokemon) series Digimon Adventures or just Digimon. It was the anime that made kids choose either Team Pokemon or Team Digimon. It was very popular at the time. When it was annouced that there was going to be a Digimon Movie and all of the original characters were going to be apart of it and grown up of course i had to watch it.
It was then later announced that there will not be one but four Digimon tri movies so yeah, we got more Digi movies coming our way.
The movie was broken up into four, thirty minunt episodes (why i really don't know) the first episode we get to see how the characters have matured and are in high school and Junior High. Everyone seem to be living a ordinary life. Tai is on a soccer team, Hikari is in Junior High, Yamoto is in a rock band and Mimi is living in America while the others are just living the ordinary teen life. Stuff was going fine till a bug from the digital word decided to enter the real world and fuck shit up. Not knowing what to do yet wanting to play the hero Tai decided to follow the bug and tries to stop it on his own that is until his first original digimon appeaser, Argumon
The second episode has the whole group fighting three of the evil digimon at the airport and the third has Tai and Yamamoto aruing about if what they are doing is right and confronting their teacher who is also a CIA agent sent to protect also in that episode Izzy(Izumi) creates a digital world so that the digimon can stay in and be called when needed. The last episode they fight a huge Digimon name Alphamon and Tai and Yamoto maked up so that they can form Omegamon and a new Digi trainer is introduce.
The First movie besides the movie being broken up into four part, I kinda didn't like the fact that they had Tai have this "Internal" struggle. Like i would have like to seen that later on in the third or fourth movie (if there is one) not the first we are JUST getting reintroduce to the whole digiuniverse and the original Digimon Cast. I understand they wanted to make it more mature than the original series seeing how they are now older but that could have waited till the second movie.
Sound-6
Characters-8
Art-8
Overall-8.5
I still love this movie. Yes the first movie has flaws but i think they are setting it up for the following movies. Being reintroduce to the old cast was such nostalgia. I am looking forward to see what they are planing to do with that new digi trainer though.
