Product Description
Ash may think he's seen everything when it comes to Pokemon, but is he ready to face the mysterious Darkrai in his latest awesome adventure? While touring Alamos Town -home of the Space-Time Tower -with the beautiful Alice, Ash and his friends discover that the town's special garden has been decimated! Baron Alberto, a dashing but arrogant fellow, immediately blames the destruction on Darkrai. As if it just overheard the accusation, Darkrai appears and confronts our heroes! Who is Darkrai? Is it a friend... or a friend in disguise? And as a battle between Legendary Pokemon Dialga and Palkia rages directly above Alamos Town-and threatens to tear a hole in the space-time continuum-will Ash and his friends survive this showdown and learn Darkrai's true nature? Stills from Pokemon Movie - The Rise of Darkrai (click for larger image)
Amazon.com
The 10th Pokemon movie introduces Dialga and Palkia, two Legendary Pokemon from the "Diamond" and "Pearl" versions of the game. Ash, Brock, Dawn, and Pikachu visit the town of Alamos, which is dominated by two lofty towers that represent space and time. Alamos has been plagued by nightmares and supernatural events that the arrogant Baron Alberto blames on Darkrai, a powerful and elusive Pokemon. Alice, a gentle musician whose grandmother discovered Darkrai, disagrees. Her professor friend Tonio proves the escalating problems are caused by a clash between Dialga and Palkia. Unless the humans find a way to end this battle, the space-time fabric will tear and Alamos will be thrown into another dimension. Ash and Pikachu save the day, with some help from Dawn and Alice. The Rise of Darkrai (2007) is most the elaborate Pokemon feature to date: the CG effects range from the graceful towers to fireworks and energy storms. The drawn characters and computer-generated special effects are better integrated than in the previous features. The results are sure to delight Pokemon fans. (Unrated, suitable for ages 6 and older: cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

A Pretty Good Pokemon Movie July 7, 2008

Great animation, the plot moves a good pace that keeps the action coming, and almost every character and creature that appears helps out and make themselves useful. Too bad it has a lousy dub's (as usual)

I bought this for my Grandson and he was very Happy with it. I was very happy with the speed in which it came and the condition was very good.
 Company LIED that this would have Japanese audio. June 7, 2008

I ordered this before the release for my kids. They are bilingual Japanese and were expecting it to be in Japanese as the company promised. Now that the video has been released the ad has been changed to say English only. What a scam. Would it have been so hard to include both an English and a Japanese audio track like with all the Miyazaki movies? Now I have to return it and buy it here in Japan, (where it costs twice as much). What a waste of time. Thanks, Viz.
 Movie is fun...but no extras whatsoever. May 31, 2008

I was disappointed with the DVD (I have bought every pokemon movie so far for my 8-year old son)
Usually, this dvds come loaded with extras, as short movies, more content, etc. but in this case ONLY THE MOVIE...not even Japanese Language (I like the original voices).

I'm an avid DVD collector who loves collecting series. I got "The Rise of Darkrai" because one of the series I collect is Pokemon. Both the movies and the series (in order up to Orange Islands now). This DVD is welcome being that it is a movie. There is no special features. I am entirely grateful for it. However, I dislike the fact that I'm forced to sit through a Mystery Dungeon preview every time I put the disc in. I can't skip it. No fast forward, no rewind, no chapter ahead, nothing, you have to sit through it. Kinda cruel considering there are no special features. It makes me think they release this DVD just to market Mystery Dungeon.
EDIT: I think it's funny that during the end credits when they are giving the music credits, they spell Darkrai wrong.
