Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

"Dejimon adobenchâ - Bokura no wô gêmu!" or "Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!" is a 40-minute animated/anime short film from 200 that takes us into the world of Digimon of course as you can see from the English-language title. I cannot really say anything about the voice actors and filmmakers here, but of course unless you speak Japanese you will need subtitles from start to finish. I personally have always been more of a Pokemon than a Digimon fan and watcher and this one here cannot change that at all. I did like the occasional shots at comedy, especially during the interactions between humans, but the core of the film, i.e. that Digimon that threatens to destroy the global phone and internet system did as little for me as the other Digimon to be honest. As a consequence also the mission and battle to stop it from his evil plan weren't too convincing for me. In short, the plot and story were really to weak to be justified by some of the more entertaining, but rather pointless moments. As a whole, this gets a thumbs-down from me, but I don't know perhaps Digimon fans will appreciate it more, maybe even really like it. But if you are not into Digimon already, watching this is fairly pointless. The animation is fine I give them that, but almost everything else is not. Watch something else instead.

Without question, this is the best of the Digimon television specials; a 40 minute episode featuring some of the most surreal and creative visuals the franchise has seen. Set between the first and second seasons, it chronicles an event (obviously inspired by the Y2K Bug scare of the time) that calls the original team back into action. Though Tai and Izzy are the most prominent ones, it's actually pretty neat to get a glimpse of what became of the kids after the adventures in the series. The conflict itself does not disappoint in terms of sheer scale, actually feeling worthy of a cinematic treatment. It begins rather subdued, but escalates appreciably within the running time, as well as with the enemy's growing power level. Because the foe in question, ultimately named Diaboromon, is able to disable and distort technology, he poses a new challenge to the heroes, forcing them to use to greater ingenuity to catch him (and allowing Izzy to flex more of his technical skills). Speaking of which, the fact that all of Diaboromon's attacks are capable of breaking the mega digimons' armor grants him a scary presence. Of course, the action sequences are the critical points, and they are nothing if not interesting. Despite the limited budget, the animators did a good job of crafting a surreal physical representation of the internet that adds kineticism to the fighting. All of this is occasionally shocking and consistently exciting, culminating in possibly the greatest action sequence in the entire franchise. It may be of interest to some fans that there exists a rather successful anime film called "Summer Wars" that was directed by the same person as "Our War Game", evident because it boasts some eerie similarities to this TV special. I recommend it, partially because it affirms that "Our War Game" should have been stretched out into a full length film. In so doing, the writers would have had the opportunity to expand upon the relationships from the first season. Would it not have been so interesting to get more detail on that subplot between Tai and Sora? Regardless, this TV special to this day remains one of the franchise's best achievements, a project that has received some commendation from even the uninitiated.

This is the best of the three movies that made up the American Dub. I haven't seen all the Digimon movies as of this writing, but this is currently second to X-Evolution. This is an action movie, comparable to WarGames. There is a genuinely creepy villain and the setup seems illogical, but still makes sense in this setting. Everyone is in character, and both versions have great, albeit very different, soundtracks.I had seen some of the show going into this, but this movie made me love the show even more. What happened in the other two segments...don't even remember. But this one ruledThe dub is not bad, but some things were cut out. I say, stick to the sub if you can. If you're watching the American movie...skip all the rest and just watch this.

Our War Game is a good short movie that's just enough to satisfy any Digimon fan. The story is basically that a digimon egg hatched is messing up various electronics. Taichi (or Tai for you dubbies) and Koushiro (Izzy), Yamato (Matt), and Takeru (T.K) must now stop the digimon. So now that we have the small symnopsis out of the way what else is there to say about this movie? Not much, but it's still a good movie that I would recomemd for Digimon fans.
