#POKEMON MEWTWO STRIKES BACK EVOLUTION MOVIE#

The battles themselves can be exhilarating, but the characters around them often don’t feel as lovable as they once did. They all have texture, fur, and appear as if you can reach out and touch them in a way that makes every monster’s appearance a delight. The Pokémon themselves are often a middle ground between the show’s animated style and Detective Pikachu’s more realistic versions. The world is incredibly colorful, with grass and nature popping out of the screen beautifully.Īs great as late 90’s anime looks, there are times when Evolution’s new style shines. Evolution, instead of expanding on ideas, often shortens them, and the whole thing feels much less impactful because of it. The scenes that are here though are much more dynamic thanks to the virtual camera movements and more lifelike visuals especially in the environment. Evolution greatly shrinks this opening chapter from the original film, and his motivations are less clear as a result. Fuji, an expert on cloning was assigned to the Mewtwo project, partly thanks to a mission to try and resurrect his daughter who had passed away. Mewtwo struggles with his identity, yearning to know what his true purpose is, and breaks free from the lab of his birth. Mewtwo was created from the eyelash of the Legendary Pokémon, Mew, and for the sole purpose of being a weapon for Team Rocket’s leader Giovanni. Add the villainous Team Rocket organization to the mix, and you have a setup for a colossal adventure. Caught up in that are the familiar trio of Ash Ketchum, Brock and Misty as well as their Pokémon (like Pikachu of course) in the middle of their training.
