Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning

Nothing in this film makes any sense. It's just a set of set-pieces strung together, no logic to any of it. The writers know the effects they want to achieve, but don't put enough effort into getting there. It's a typical sentimental Japanese effort. All presentation, no content.

The story centres on the childhood trauma of some character called Lui. However, the story doesn't have the courage of its convictions and wipes it all out at the end, for reasons that aren't really very clear. Somehow this is supposed to be terribly significant for the world of Digimon, but it doesn't really come across.

4 stars for some atmospheric visuals. I'll stick to Pokemon, at least their films have plots.
