The adventure explodes into action with the debut of Mewtwo, a bio-engineered Pokémon created from the DNA of Mew, one of the rarest Pokémon of all. After escaping from the lab where it was created, Mewtwo is determined to prove its own superiority. It lures a number of talented Trainers into a Pokémon battle like never before and of course, Ash and his friends are happy to accept the challenge. Ash's excitement turns to fear and anger when Mewtwo reveals its plan for domination, creating powerful clones of our heroes Pokémon so it can even the imbalance between Pokémon and their Trainers. Despite Ash s protests, Mewtwo refuses to believe that Pokémon and people can be friends. But faced with the determination and loyalty of a young Trainer, Mewtwo just might have to reconsider, especially when pitted against the power of the mysterious Mew. (Manga Home Entertainment)

English Strongly underestimated mix of everything that could be admired about this phenomenon against the background of a surprisingly emphatic human story. ()

English Oh, how I loved it... Even now I can still watch the movie and not give a damn what anyone thinks ;-)) Just wondering why it's such a bad movie for you. Is it because of the Pokémon in it? So what? The story is sometimes even a hundred times better than some American blockbusters and that gets 4 stars ... Anyway, the Pokémon are on the move... ()

English Yes, I have a weakness for Pokémon; it's like my childhood and adolescent love because I devoured the series and especially the game, which has stuck with me to this day. I'm simply a collector and I like to collect. The film is definitely primarily for those who are familiar with the series because there isn't much introduction to the characters here; you have to know them already. It's actually kind of a bonus for the fans. I just have a weakness for these films, and this one at least has a story and emotions, so it's quite easy to get into. ()
