InfinityDude88★ 5Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Little Space War continues the trend of Doraemon movies always having extremely interested premises executed in the most basic way possible. This time around, the gang meet a tiny alien who is fleeing a war back home so they are called in to action to help. Probably my favourite portion of this movie was the opening sequence, as it featured a mix of film references to keep it interesting including Star Wars, E.T., King Kong and even the MGM intro. I found this to be an especially delightful way to open the movie and to pay respect to the key sourcesof inspiration for the film, as upon watching you will soon realise that it is essentially an amalgamation of all of those films in to one. I also appreciated that the story felt more cohesive from start to finish this time around, as Papi is introduced very early on and the alien/space war remains integral to every scene. However, as usual the film falters in the second half, offering little originality to keep the movie fresh as it goes on. Instead, it returns to the safe adventure and action that has defined the majority of the Doraemon films so far. This far into the series, I would expect one knows if they are a Doraemon fan or not and this film will certainly appease those looking for another fun Doraemon adventure, but it ultimately does not deliver a satisfying experience for anyone searching for anything more than that.
