Detective Pikachu First Screening
Warner Brother’s Pokemon: Detective Pikachu seems to be the most unpredictable film of the year. When the Ryan Reynolds led film based on the iconic video game was announced, many people were quick to dismiss the film as a Hollywood cash grab. However, when the first trailer dropped many people quickly got on-board with the film. In the past, we have seen some great trailers and it turns out the film is terrible, but it appears that Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is quite the opposite. Warner Brothers previewed the film to a few junket journalists at an event in Japan this past Tuesday and the early reactions are in, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is great!

Detective Pikachu: Synopsis
The story begins when ace private eye Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.
