Pokemon movie Remake: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution now on Netflix

[Shark_Blade]

Just released today! I’m watching it now

They also uploaded the Japanese version surprisingly, watch that one. The dub is terrible.

Wait...this thing is a legit production? I thought it was a fan-made 3-D project. I guess its what I get from being removed from the world of Pokemon since Hoenn started.

Why on earth would you think it’s a fan production? Even if you’re not into the franchise anymore it was promoted online for a year and came out in Japan last year.

They could have done something different and adapt the original version of the movie, before the decision was made to continue the series beyond the Kanto Region.

I only saw a teaser image of it and heard or seen nothing about it.

So this is a frame for frame redo of Mewtwo Strikes Back, but in CGI instead of traditional animation?

I don't know how to feel about a complete shot for shot remake.

On the one hand, the first Pokemon movie was one of my favourites so I'm curious to see how it flows with new animation, but there are literally zero new additions to the plot here from what I've heard.

Even Disney didn't copy their old films this much.
Some of their remakes were complete hot and flaming garbage yes, but atleast they tried to be different in some things.

I'm gonna watch it now, but I don't expect to be wowed.

At least it seems we are back to Movie Satoshi next film.

Yep but I went with English dub yesterday because the original Brock voice actor returns.

Gonna watch the Japanese one on later rewatches.

I can appreciate these stylised cgi characters, they look so cute like little Sims walking around. And the water effect like sea waves splashing, puddle on the jetty, water cannon burst, etc are top notch.

It’s kinda weird when Ash became solid metal(?) when trying to stop Mew vs Mewtwo. Shouldn’t he be dead when two energy beams blasted him? And pokemon tears could heal him?? I still don’t get it but it’s still enjoyable. (plus the humans don’t shed a tear for Ash - not even Brock and Misty lmfao)

It's not. Bill Rogers voiced Brock in the dub of this movie, the same guy who did him in Battle Frontier and DP. Eric Stuart was 4kids Brock up to the end of Hoenn, he's not here. All the VA's for Ash/Misty/Brock and TR were the same ones since the dub switch in 2006...the only difference is they improved a lot over the last 15 years.

[Shark_Blade]

Huh I thought all of them were the same guy. Learn something new.

Can't believe I've been working with this franchise for 14 years now.
Here's to many more!

Just watched it, here is a quick rundown of things I liked/disliked:

-CG is both gorgeous and ugly so that's both a + and a -
- New script is more faithful but also worse than 4Kids localization
-the original pokemon first movie soundtrack is a million times better
-neat seeing a 1:1 remake in such a weird style however
-huge missed opportunity to actually do a new version of mewtwo strikes back

You can read my full review and comparison to Pokemon the first movie with Mewtwo Strikes back here, sorry for all the links, big Pokemon fan

Yeah, I'm interested in following Movie Reboot Ash Continuity after The Power of Us which was good, even if Pokemon I Choose You wasn't a good movie. But the next movie so far looks boring, I'm guessing it deals with the new legendary. Yawn. Hope I'm wrong

[Allio]

There isn't really much we know about Koko though aside from it probably being a another Johto movie.

edit: NVM i see there is a new trailer.

Yeah, doesn't look very fun so far, it looks like the average Pokemon movie where Ash meets the legendary. At least with reboot Ash they tried to do something different with I choose You, Power of Us and hell even this Mewtwo Evolution.

If we're getting a generic movie they might as well use anime Ash.
