Pokémon: Detective Pikachu (2019)

When I originally watched this film in the cinema, I of course thought it was brilliant, the animation (even if it can be creepy at time) is amazing, the story was ok and the world was very convincing. To start I'll first talk about the world building, it's incredible, the city in which the city is set is a mish-mash of many of landmarks in one mega-city. The visuals help with this immersion, making the creatures look almost real but still on the exit of the uncanny valley so still not perfect. The audio (while me not being an expert in audio) is also good with a great soundtrack to accompany the action. Due to all of this world building you can see the world being a real place and I feel that's a major quality that some films lack. You get very invested in the characters, feeling bad when something goes wrong for them and happy for the classic happy ending. Overall I think this is a good movie! It's not perfect but the story beats are good but it may be confusing if you have never heard of pokemon or the cannon/lore surrounding it.
