It's easy to to punch this one for not attempting to be about much, but I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with a simple "literally saving the entire Eurth!" story in a movie series of this sort. Particularly when it released at the final zenith of the first craze. And really, depending on how successful you think the first and third actually are at relaying their messages the second may be better for it. I don't think I agree with that last point but I get it.

I never thought anything of her, but dig the vintage spiky hair. What's funnier to me is how closely her sister resembles a certain someone. That said nothing special brunettes have been most of the player characters in these games for the last 30 years. Hmm.

You always think the old CGI is going to take you out of it but it never does for me. It has the cool factor of Mewtwo's intro, only little bit more coherent and you know Lawrence/Gelerdan isn't going to be the sole focus of the movie so you wonder how the elements will play out.

I haven't looked around anime hosting sites for this lately but the torrent usually thrown around is ~768p from the Japanese HD version. This stream uses the 1080p (via a bit of letterboxing) 4Kids version you see on Viz's US Blu-ray, for example. That said I imagine there must also be a torrent that latter version around somewhere.
