Pokemon Detective Pikachu (HD/BD)

Good family fun movie, watch it with my kids. They loved it.

Arrived in good condition and sealed, liked the movie as well.

Adorable movie have watched it several times

Good Movie. Comes with the 4k Blu-ray and the 1080p Blu-ray. No scratches on either disks. Only taking a star off because of the confusion around whether this came with a promo card. This version does not.

Grams love this!

if you replace Pokémon with normal people, how would this movie fair?

Rob Letterman’s 2019 film, “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu,” tells the story of Tim Goodman (Justice Smith), a disillusioned Pokémon trainer and an insurance agent who travels to Ryme City following the death of his estranged father, Harry. After meeting Harry’s old boss, Detective Hideo Yoshida (Ken Watanabe), Tim goes to his father’s apartment to clear it out, encountering memories of his youth. In the midst of his packing, a Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds) appears that Tim can mysteriously understand even though people normally only hear Pokémon saying their names (Ikue Ōtani, the voice of Pikachu in the video games and animated series, reprises her role for this). Pikachu claims that he was Harry’s partner and needs to solve the case they were working to figure out how Harry died. Reluctantly, Tim agrees, especially when they discover that something called “R” is making Pokémon particularly aggressive. They work with Lucy Stevens (Kathryn Newton), a junior reporter, who shows them evidence pointing back to Clifford Industries and its heads, Howard and Roger Clifford (Chris Geere and Bill Nighy). They being to uncover the nefarious goings on at Clifford Industries. Along the way, they meet Mewtwo (Rina Hoshino and Kotaro Watanabe) and see the wonders of the Pokémon world, with Tim rediscovering his love of Pokémon. All is not well, however, as Clifford Industries is up to far more than genetic experimentation to enhance Pokémon’s abilities.The movie is a lot of fun and captures both the nostalgia of the now-26-year-old franchise while telling a fun original story. The setting of Ryme City evokes other urban noir films. Reynolds, Smith, and Nighy are great and the visual effects make the Pokémon look as realistic as possible, with real-life analogues such as fur, skin, scales, and bone looking particularly great. This is great for both long-time fans and now their children, too. Bonus features on this Blu-ray include “Detective Mode,” which allows the viewer to watch the film with hidden clues, pop-up trivia, and more; an alternate opening; “My Pokémon Adventure”; “Creating the World of Detective Pikachu” featurettes; “Mr. Mime’s Audio Commentary”; “Ryan Reynolds – Outside the Actor’s Studio”; and a music video. The packaging also says that this Blu-ray includes a special Pokémon trading card, but it was not included with the copy I bought.

Loved the movie enough to want to purchase a copy for home. The product came USED even though it was advertised as new, missing the Blu-Ray disc. The DVD was also smudged. Disappointing.
