Pokémon Detective Pikachu


Pokémon Detective Pikachu
A live-action with some animation, the story begins when an ace detective goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is the detective’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, the son and Pikachu join forces to unravel the tangled mystery. This film is releasing in 2D and 3D. This is the 2D version.

Alex Isaacs quote iconPokémon Detective Pikachu is by no means perfect, but it's precisely what you need if the world has been a little too much lately. Escapism at its finest.

Tomatometer quote iconPokémon Detective Pikachu may not take its wonderfully bizarre premise as far as it could have, but this offbeat adaptation should catch most -- if not all -- of the franchise’s fans.
