Spoiler Warning. Elements of surprise.
This review's goal is to give a moment of realization about how this movie is actually good.
This movie had 3 refreshing and unexpected story and execution elements. I respect them for pulling these off making it a good bonus story.
1. The Movie is way darker than expected from Digimon. At some time we though we wil see some Higurashi level moments xD. It was build up around that pretty well and interesting that the movie was not boring despite having less action.
2. The fights were not extended and the villain SPOILER (has not achieved his goal as it normally
...
happens in most anime making it refreshing and unexpected. Maybe they make up for the lack of action in future movies. It is hard to make a big enemy versus all fight look good shown in recent anime series and movies for example (One Piece and Dragon Ball), so they just did the basic thing carried with animation quality.
3. They respect the anime being complete and do not develop their characters or power more than reflecting the true meanings and being more open minded. As they are completed characters they shift the focus to a struggling tragic character who seeks redemption and that is a good way not to ruin the main story with a bonus movie.
Furthermore, I still got my at least one time movie theatre given goosebumps and did not feel boringness. Some moments were weird as when the main character and his Digimon looked into the camera trying to show something and looking fake, but that is fine as they want to show something instead of acting normal on purpose. However, I think this movie has lower rewatch value as it is based on being refreshing and shocking. So, it is hard to enjoy it after realizing it had some creative aspects and have a more appreciative take on this anime. I hope those who see the fine score and watch it afterwards not expecting much have a better enjoyment.
Besides, I liked it being shown simultanousely in all countries not making me prejudiced by its score and maybe not going there as I did not watch the previous movies from Tri to Evolution and rewatched the old animes yet.
Post-credit scene was so mind-blowingly good too wooooow xD
I hope for future movies of my beloved Digimon Data Squad and Tamers too. :=)
