Okay, time for my review. *Takes deep breath and slowly releases*
I think that this was a really good movie. Not my favorite, but it's up there with the best of the Sinnoh trilogy.
I felt that this movie was quite good. I liked that the characters in the past didn't really look at Pokemon the same way as Ash and Co., what with calling them "magical creatures" and all. Not only that, but Marcus' fear that Michina would become a wasteland again actually was a good reason for his actions. Still doesn't excuse him from attacking the creator of the world, but still...
Damos was an interesting character. I got over my initial Yami Yugi shock and enjoyed him. It seems like this isn't his first time in trouble, seeing that the Spike Ear Pichu knows where the key is. Speaking of her, the Pichu really didn't play that big of a role. Not that I minded, since there was already enough going on as it was.
The movie seems to put together what happened in the previous two quite well, especially having Giratina recognize Ash from before. The only thing that I really have against this movie is that it really seemed to resolve the three dragons conflict a little bit too fast. I would've liked to have it been drawn on until Arceus' appearance, then having them realize what really happened.
This movie's setting is a little more personal to me than any other the others going into it. I had actually visited the places that the animators visited to study. I must say that Michina did reflect Meteora (the place in Greece that most of the setting is based) quite well. It's too bad we didn't see much of the town; I would've liked to have seen how they translated Kalambaka. The ruins remind more of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, but they seemed to mix pretty well (I don't think Greek Orthodox monestaries would've worked for a movie like this).
As well, there was quite a bit of CGI in this movie. However, it seemed to translate quite well into the setting. The fields of crops felt much more alive thanks to the CGI. The meteor's effects were quite good, too.
The music score was quite good in my...er, ears. I liked the piece especially that played when Damos was retrieving Arceus' plate, perfect for the "resurrection." The pieces used during the fights was quite good as well. Overall, I rate it just above the Darkrai soundtrack (despite not having that powerful "Oracion" piece that stood out from the rest).
If I can think of anything else, I'll post it later. But for now, I need a break... *Collapses from exhaustion*
