Brilliant and touching

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie not decent or bad to watch and the problem for its visual effect, special effect, and dubbing are poor. Story slightly better than previous film. Better thing is "the space- like vehicle" could be its one of several creativity that should doesn't exist in this condition.Well unlike another anime in 2000s and before 2000s, i cannot find the main focus of this movie. Like 1997 Princess Monoke which related its story and quality of effect. This is only for children and children will entertained. Other audience cannot do anything except for watching this film or hearing horrible noises. This is will be a bad nightmare for adults.So I prefer you wait till next year and sit down the next movie and like what that movie. Being better or worse?SHORT REVIEW END i m sorry if my English is not good

My second favourite Pokemon film. This film is set in the city Altomare, based on Venice. The city is guarded by Latios and Latias, two dragon and psychic Pokemon. They also protect the Soul Dew, a jewel said to contain the spirit of their father. However, two thieves come to steal the jewel in order to power the DMA (The Defence Mechanism of Altomare), although the reason why is never explained. Once again, coincidentally, Ash, Pikachu, Misty and Brock are visiting the city and get involved in the race to save the city. There also a wonderful bond between Ash, Latias and Latios, which seems to be the main support beam which prevents this movie from turning bad. As a nice point to Mario, the curator of the city's museum is dressed in his attire.

This Pokemon movie was not as good as the 4th one, but it's great. I liked the part where the "Pokemon Heroes" are about to save the city, Altima (?) and eventually, Latios had to give up his life to save the whole city. That ALMOST made me cry, however, so this movie wasn't as great as the 4th one. I just hope people like the next two movies, because they're great! I agree with others that the 5th Pokemon movie is good, but not great, because it has some flaws in it. Sorry, Pokemon! I feel sorry for you, but if you could just improve some things in this movie, I would give this movie an 8 or a 9. The music for the Pokemon movies are great, too. Although it sounded almost the same as the music that you hear in the Pokemon series, the music in the movies were a bit more "improvised," so I give all the Pokemon movies two thumbs WAY up for the music criteria.

As it should be. This movie continues along the concept of the original movies: to further the sales of the games by expanding upon their concepts. For those of you who actually play the game, this movie makes complete sense. For everyone else, I suggest you start by playing the game to get some background before delving into the Pokémon Universe (and giving this movie a one).
