Finally got to watch the whole thing, felt very nostalgic and I can't wait for the next movies. I find it interesting to see the government more involved with Digimons in this series, it's a nice change and I like the concept, hopefully these guys don't mess up like Hypnos did back in early Tamers. Talking about Tamers, the new style for the evolutions reminds me of how they did it there, with the whole covering the mon with an egg and then taking away the skin/textrue to show the mesh underneath to then recolor it as it evolves.
Meiko, the new character, was cute but I feel she was just there, I hope the next movies development her and I liked how the Chosen just welcomed her to the group, but that just makes the absence of the 02 cast feel even bigger. I am not sure how to feel with what hey did with the 02 cast, I know people hated them but it's almost like they were retconed and the Chosen didn't even notice.
I can understand why Taichi is worrying so much about the collateral damage and how that makes digimon look, but a part of me just feels he hesitated too much but I understand that this is part of him developing as a character. I feel that Taichi might try to handle Alphamon with a method other than fighting, and maybe talk with the big guy to understand why he is suddenly attacking. I have to add that Yamato is really trying to help Taichi, but sadly nothing he says seems to drive away the doubts that plague the leader over this whole mess. Besides that I loved seeing the original Chosen again, specially Mimi and I am not sure how to feel about how sidelined Jou was the whole movie, but I guess that's part of his arc. Shipping wise Toei gave hints to almost everything including a lot of Taito but I really don't care since my favorite ship got some hints and that's what this really is about.
Alphamon was imposing and it really drived homed how strong he was and how he was just playing around, still find it weird how he never talked in this, but I hope we can learn more about him in the next movie.
