What if a high-stakes jewel heist turned into a midair crisis, forcing Conan to outthink not only a master thief but also gravity itself? The Movie raises the tension from city streets to the skies, combining heist intrigue with disaster-thriller spectacle.
The film begins with Kaitou Kid targeting a precious gem, as expected in his cat-and-mouse encounters with Conan. However, the story takes an unexpected turn when a bomb is planted on a passenger plane carrying Conan, Ran, and their friends. With the pilots incapacitated, Conan must step beyond detective work to prevent catastrophe, navigating both the mechanical intricacies of flight and the psychological strain of impending disaster.
Analytically, the film balances two genres: the cerebral duel between Conan and Kid, and the adrenaline of an aviation survival drama. Thematically, it explores illusion versus reality-Kid's dazzling tricks contrasted against the very real threat of a plane crash. Yet the dual focus creates uneven pacing: the jewel heist feels rushed while the disaster plot dominates the narrative. Character interactions, particularly Ran's emotional moments and Conan's ingenuity, add depth, but the lack of intricate deduction weakens the mystery's core appeal.
Visually, the midair sequences are tense and cinematic, though the resolution relies more on spectacle than clever unraveling.
Rating: 6/10 - a visually exciting but uneven entry, blending heist drama and airborne suspense, with flair that entertains but leaves the mystery underdeveloped.
