Before you read this, you should know I will be spoiling almost the whole movie. If you don’t want to be spoiled, refrain from reading this article excluding this first section and the final two sentences. So, unless there’s a way to block text on the Armijo Signal (I never saw the reason to ask and neither did you) be warned.

I’ll start off with the worst part of the movie, Sonic flosses twice. Of course, even one act of flossing would make a movie completely unwatchable.

If you still dare to watch this movie, there are still some minor problems with the movie. While this is a only a problem if you don’t see this movie when it comes on dvd/Blu-ray/streaming or happen to arrive to the theaters on the exact time of Showtime, be warned that all of the previews are meant for children, so they will remind you that you are a high schooler going to watch a children’s movie. Like me. Also this movie is kind of generic but uses its other pros to its advantage. Anyways I will be spoiling the movie now so see only the last two sentences if you want to experience sonic for yourself.

The movie starts off with the logo for Sega that shows a vast array of all of their franchises that they almost all forget and/or do not care for anymore. After that we jump into one of the most clichéd beginnings, starting at the middle of the climax, and then quickly flashes through the previous events of the movie extremely quickly. Then we cut to Baby Sonic running in his home island on a different planet. We are informed that he is watched over an owl (original to the movie) and that he has to hide his powers from the native Echidna tribes (introduced in — and ruined by — the original Archie comics).

The owl is presumed dead when she gives Sonic magic rings that have Doctor Strange powers, as in they let him travel to any destination he wants, even off planet. Our favorite/least favorite hedgehog travels to our planet in a small town called Greenhills, spends a decade in hiding, and ends up idolizing a local police officer. The local police officer’s name is Tom Wachowski, our deuteragonist (second protagonist) who plans on leaving his hometown for a police job in San Francisco. He is supported by his veterinarian wife Maddie, whose sister hates him.

Our story kicks in when Sonic runs in a circle fast enough to start a large scale power outage, drawing a large amount of attention to himself.

The U.S. government realizes that they need to hire Robotnick (aka Jim Carrey, the best part of the movie) to find out what caused this anomaly. Sonic realizes this and quickly tries to find a place to transport to the mushroom planet, which he hates. He goes to Tom’s shed to safely transport, Tom finds him and expresses his second amendment right with a tranquilizer and shoots Sonic in the thigh, causing him to accidentally lose his rings in San Francisco.

Robotnick then tracks Sonic down to Tom’s house where Sonic is found out, as well finding one of Sonic’s powerful quills. After they escape Tom agrees to help Sonic find his rings, and after many hijinks Sonic and Tom grow stronger as friends.

When they arrive at Maddie’s sister’s house to help Sonic recover from his injuries, Sonic meets the sister’s daughter, who gives Sonic better (as well as iconic) shoes. Maddie then joins Sonic and Tom to the place where Sonic dropped his rings. After they recover them, Robotnick finds them and holds the lives of Tom and Maddie hostage to make Sonic sacrifice his body for science.

Sonic teleports Maddie and Tom to a safe place by pushing them off a building and throwing a ring under them. He then finds out that Robotnick used one of his quills to powers one of his machines, becoming as fast as Sonic.

After a thrilling battle sonic goes back to Greenhills and defeats Robotnick with the help of Tom, and sends Robotnick to the mushroom planet. Tom and Maddie then let Sonic into their life and the movie ends.

So, even though I spoiled the movie, there is still a lot I left out. Heck, I didn’t even mention the post credits scene (and I won’t either). So, If you’re looking for a 7.8/10 movie, I suggest this one. Just come in a bit later to avoid the second-hand embarrassment of the movie previews.
