Greetings. Hello everyone I just wanted to share my experience of my time to see the Movie.
I went to see it at Rave Motion Pictures Ridgmar 13, at this address
Ridgmar 13
2300 Green Oaks Rd.
Fort Worth, TX 76116
and here is a pic of my ticket to prove it.
Now I want to start out by saying, this card,.. is my lucky Geodude Card.
I once found it in a parking lot awhile back and I picked it up and I keep it in my wallet always. I thoguht it was destiny as when i first got into pokemon in 1998, Brock's Geodude was the first pokemon I started to like alot. So to me I felt it ment alot and it became my lucky card.
When I found out the movie was coming to my Theater, I was excited.. I had not seen a pokemon movie in theaters since pokemon 3 the movie. But... the list showed that only one theater was going to show it... in Fort Worth....Fort Worth is one of the largest cities in texas... I had a feeling it was going to be a nightmare. Then i found out there was only going to be one show a day... and i almost panicked.
. so I waited and when the time came I went out the friday night to buy a ticket early, asking my geodude card to let them not be sold out! It was cold and drizzly, but I'm a trainer and will do what i can!I can't let this stop me!
So off to the mall I go to ask about ticket, and thank my geodude card, they were not sold out.. I was thankful, bought a ticket for the sunday morning show and was off!
So Sunday finally arrives and I bare the even colder temperature and rain to go see the movie. I slapped on my coat, and slipped on my classic Pokemon League Expo Hat ((AKA Ash hat))
I go on in and smile seeing others buying tickets, i walked to the box office as i was told to come and ask for the free promotional pack that everyone got, since i boguht my ticket the night before, as i wait to get my pack, others are buying tickets for pokemon.. nothing else. I liked that. Went in and went to find my seat, fourth row from the top. the theater already had alot of people in it. I was surprised. Most were older fans, which made me smile. I was happy to see them and took a seat next to some older fans, a guy and his girlfriend. Saw a group of guys wearing home made Team Rocket shirts, I know these had to be the same guys I once saw back in 1999 wearing Home Made Team Rocket shirts to pokemon the first movie. Saw a woman carrying a small zoroark plushy, some kids with their DS'es. It was nice to see. Before it started, the top three rows were reserved for a birthday party, in which three rows of small kids marched in to watch it. One of the kids saw my Hat and told me he liked it! I was glad to see somone as young recognize Ash's hat, a hat he had not worn in the series since before this kid was born. It made me smile seeing pokemon fans from different generation coming together as one. This is what pokemon is all about, Fans of All ages, how it is intended to be.
Now I'm not going to say much about the movie as I do not want to spoil it for others who have not seen it. But the movie was great. Breathtaking, Beautiful, such as the time Ash and pikachu went to find Victini at the pond, their reflections on the water was stunning.
The opening theme was wonderful and one of my favorite parts, the long version of "Black and White" to go with the tournament was great. It was also awesome to finally see Serperior, Emboar, and Samurott in animation form at last!
The Story was simple, yet deep at the same time.. were a man named Damon wants to do something nice for his mother, to bring back the kingdom of old, and which he feels it is in the good, yet it brings about chaos. It's great to not have a clear cut villain for a change.
The battles were great, the humor was nice, Victini was so cute! There was also sad scenes as well. But it would not be Pokemon without a mixture of emotional events.
I have nothing bad to say about this movie, I had a wonderful time, despite some small talking during some of the more non action oriented scenes from the birthday troop behind us, and the occasional bumping into my seat
but hey it's all good, they were all enjoying and having fun, and that my friends, is what is most important.
I really hope I am accepted for the prize pack here on pokebeach,.. I really would love to have the pokemon movie white movie poster! and I thank you in advance for everything and giving us this opportunity to enter into this contest. ~Kev
