Blu-ray Reviews, Reviews, Top Story

The epic Digimon Advnture Tri movie series has hit it’s third installment with Confession. These are not individual sequel movies, but part of a large story arch. With that in mind, Confession comes in a part of the storyline that features a major story shift that ends with what would be the middle crisis in a movie. The big crisis is when Meiko discovers what infected Meicoomon that caused him to turn on the DigiDestined. Turns out the other Digimon are also infected. The only hope they have is to reboot which means their little pals with have their memories wipes. But can they afford to do that when there’s still danger about?

The film gets very emotional as it deals with self and sacrifice. There’s a chance that smaller kids might get sad as the reboot open is explored. Be prepared to have a long talk with them about rebooting. Here’s Josie’s review of Confession:

The video is 1.78:1 anamorphic. The art looks great with the extra resolution. The audio is 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. The aural effects shine during the battles. The original Japanese soundtrack is also available in case you want to compare casts.
The movie is subtitled in English.

DVD has movie and bonus feature.

Digital Download lets you watch the film anywhere on your smartphone.

They talk about returning to the project after all these years. It sounds like it was odd bringing the band back together. They all learned in odd ways that Digimon was coming back. There’s talk about voicing for original animation and dubbing an already made film.
