Initial release: August 8, 2014
Running time: 95 minutes
Who doesn't know about this blue-rounded-robot cat Doraemon. We often see him in the manga and anime whose filled our childhood memories right? The presence of Doraemon, Nobita, Giant, Suneo, Shizuka have been embedded in our hearts and minds.
So recently, people around me started talking about this movie even months before it's released. Lots of rumors spread such as; this will be the last movie of Doraemon, Doraemon will be broken and can not be fix, Doraemon will never meet Nobita again, and others sad ending prediction. Well, those rumors sure made me curious, and i decided that i have to watch this movie.
When the movie was released in Indonesia, apparently there is only one cinema that will showing this movie. I thought it will be very crowded and the ticket queue will be very long, so i decided not to watch it on the first day its release. The next few days after the release day, some of my friends have watched it and they said that they had to queue for hours to get the tickets, they said the cinema was very crowded and the queues are very long. From hearing what they said, my friend and i decided to wait for a few days, again. Finally we went on the second week and when we got there the queues are still very long and all the seats have been occupied, so we decided to watch another movie, Supernova, instead. Finally, my friends and i went on the third week. Even though the queues are not so long, but the auditorium was already full. After all, we got some seats and watched it with high expectations.
So the main thing is the 3D animation, which successfully entertains the audiences. People often see Doraemon and friends in its manga and anime, so when we see it in 3D animation it's just delighting to see them looks so real and we can see the expressions and emotions from the characters well, so the audiences can feel what they feel directly. It was fun to see part of our childhood memories that we have in minds getting more real.
Besides, one thing that disappointed the audiences is the ending.Why? Well, all those rumours aren't true. It turned out to be happy ending ta-da. For some of the audiences, also some of my friends said this movie is plain, no climax, and didn't bring tears as they expected. Well, i would agree with some of their reasons, even though that i was crying a bit. I thought that the reasons why it couldn't brought tears as expected is because the plot! The plot is just too fast, it's just seems like Doraemon came to Nobita's life for two or three weeks. Their closeness wasn't described well, because the plot is just to fast so the audiences couldn't catch their emotions for living together. Until finally Doraemon have to come back to the future, it's just seems like he is just a guest, not best friend, for Nobita. I thought that the duration is just too short for the whole story, can you imagine just 95 minutes, one and a half hour, can tell all those emotions between Nobita and Doraemon that we used to read bunches of the mangas and animes. I don't mind to watch the movie in two hours or even three ours to get the emotions and climax, but maybe the animators was just too tired too built all those animation effects.
Over all, i admired the animation effect for the realness. Also some of the stupid and funny reactions of the characters that built well for the audience to shake the auditorium with laughs. The seiyuu or dubbing is quite great for making the characters alive. But the one that we expected the most was the climax which not so great, i just hate for the fast plot i wish they can make it longer. Well, at least I'm not curious from those rumours anymore.
