Digimon Adventure tri. Part 1: Reunion

I had no clue this series of movies existed until about a week ago, and after watching the first, I'm more curious than excited to see where things will go. There's a lot of romantic jabs and developments in this movie that I don't remember much in the original series, and I wish more time was spent on making the 'infected' Digimon plot more interesting. Not that romance is bad to have now that they're all teens, but it didn't hold my interest much. Already had a few spoilers too, but I think I'll watch through the whole saga.

The original digivolve music was so catchy, cool and perfect. So the producers decided to come up with boring music instead. Why would they do that? It makes no sense.

The story is perfect, action is nice and it was great to see the originals back together again.

Reunion was way better than any animated Pokemon movie because its causal and down to earth.

Recommendation: To original season 1 Digimon fans.

I was a fan of Digimon as a kid, but unlike Dragon Ball Z and Escaflowne, I'm not a fan as an adult. Digimon just doesn't hit that sweet spot anymore I guess. I was expecting stellar animation like that which was in the previously theatrically released Digimon: The Movie, and safe to say I was disappointed. In this new film the animation was choppy, the facial and eye artwork was sloppy, the sound design was jarring, and overall the pacing was way too slow. A 96 minute long movie never felt so long.

And yes, I know Digimon: The Movie was three short films edited together to make a full length movie. And yes, I know that most fans don't like the English version of this movie because of the bad editing. But it still has stellar animation, no matter what Fox Kids did to it.

I saw this movie in the English special theatre release. I liked the voice acting, though Vic Mignogna as Matt was jarring because Matt is blonde haired and blue eyed, which just made me think of Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist the whole time.

I get that this isn't technically a movie, it's the first four episodes of a new series. In any case, it's still slow and choppy. I get too that it only had a small budget, which was obvious in the amount of still shots in the movie, but even so, the artists could try a little harder on the faces.

I was a huge fan of digimon when I was 7 years old. I can understand now why I loved it so much. It's all about digital universe. I am 25 years old right now I am a software engineer. I think there is some effect of this show to make me software engineer. I think this movie is created in a way to all fans of the digimon adventure to have some nostalgia. Thank you very much for creating Digimon tri and bring my old memories!

It appears this film is the first in a series of film which will conclude in 2018. If I knew that I wouldn't have watched it. The following review will be for both the first and second films. From what I read, the third is supposed to be awesome but I haven't been able to get my hands on it. The first film in the series is extremely lacking because it simply acts an introduction or reintroduction. Plus there is hardly has any action in it.
