Pokémon: Detective Pikachu Trailer Reactions - 5 Ups & 3 Downs

2. The World-Building & Production Design

From the gorgeous opening shot of Ryme City itself, it's clear that a ton of care has been put into the movie's world-building and creating a locale that viewers will wish they could be whisked away to.

This isn't just true of the digitally altered skylines and buildings, though, but also smaller details like the various flyers and posters visible around the world.

That it all integrates this seamlessly is extremely impressive, as it'd be so easy for the CGI elements to feel like they were just lazily pasted over the top.

The impression from this trailer is that it's a living, breathing world and one which should leave itself open for greater exploration in the inevitable sequels should it hit at the box office (which it definitely will).
