On the distant planet of Mobius, all is peaceful. However, the days of the planet's peace are numbered when a man named Julian Kintobor, who now goes by Robotnik, declares himself ruler. Three months later, Robotnik has taken full control of Mobius. But although he thinks he has destroyed all animal life in the uncharted land of the South Island, one still remains, and that is Sonic the Hedgehog. Sick of the evil doctor's dark rule, he sets off, determined to restore freedom to his planet. The evil Dr. Robotnik takes over the planet Mobius and it is up to Sonic The Hedgehog to put a stop to put a stop to his evil plans. I would say that for a rookie filmmaker, this film would have been a decent effort, but looking at how long writer and director Eddie Lebron makes films already and how prolific he has been, it is a bit disappointing, even if he is still a couple years away from his 30th birthday. I cannot even say that this is a good watch for those who love the Sonic video games as the inclusion of him here is fairly random in my opinion. He appears in a couple scenes, but he does not really make a significant impact, even if the mix of live action and animation isn't bad. It also feels random how, near the end, they included a couple shots that look like a mix of real world and sonic video game. And the camera shot from behind on the red fox was interesting, but is also nothing but bait. The only somewhat funny thing was the recurring "Dark Knight" reference, even if with that one I wasn't sure if it was just a spoof or the film was actually taking itself that serious. I have to say neither the acting, nor Jaleel White's (Steve Urkel) voice acting were memorable for whatever reason and the story certainly wasn't either. Not recommended. Back in 2010, Eddie lebron directed a cult Mega man fan film that stayed true to the game in every way. I even bought the DVD. Now, this time Eddie released a follow up entitled "Sonic."<br/><br/>The Good: Great cgi work Great action sequences Good casting for dr. robotnick Great sonic model Decent acting Jaleel white is back as the voice of Sonic, Genius! No one can be sonic but Jaleel white! And he still sounds the same! And it stays true to the game, that's all that matters.<br/><br/>The Bad: Too short, but that was only because they were on a budget, so they wanted to spend a little more time on the cgi and action sequences, and a little less time on the duration so that they had more money for the cgi.<br/><br/>Overall, an absolutely flawless adaptation! If you were born with a sega genesis, like me, and you are a longtime sonic fan, then you will love this movie!<br/><br/>FUN FACT: Yuri Naka (creator of sonic) praised this film, he tweeted "awesome." If the creator of the game likes, then you know it's good!
