Detective Pikachu

[baratron]

We went to see Detective Pikachu last night. I wrote about it on Tumblr, which seems to be the appropriate place for fandom stuff.

It's set in Ryme City, and was filmed in London. You can SEE London under the CGI and it's amazing. But there is also a very important Content Warning for the plot, which can also be read on Dreamwidth.

Frustrating as all hell, because the movie otherwise does diversity very well.

Thanks for the content warning. #2 has been getting very excited about the film (sqeeing every time he sees an advert for it on a bus and trying to convince me that pikachu should come under my wider Bunny classification*) but we are obviously going to need to do some unpacking...

*he knows they are officially "electric mice" and has also suggested writing to Pokemon headquarters to get that corrected

Thanks for the heads-up. Grr... As Ludy says, I'm likely to be seeing this soon.
