Chicago Reader -
By the time the fighting between clones and their originals turned to fraternal bonding, I was quite moved, even blissed out.

San Francisco Examiner -
The film is obviously a long-form episode of a show better digested in 22-minute segments.

Chicago Sun-Times -
It's just a sound-and-light show, linked to the marketing push for Pokemon in general.

USA Today -
Plays a little like a pacifistic variation on Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon."

New York Post -
Strictly a kids' movie, but parents may be relieved to sit back and enjoy the fact that for two full hours, they won't have to hear the kids asking them to buy any more Pokemon trading cards.
