Review: Sonic The Hedgehog movie
The release of the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie has been brought forward and will be coming to your home screens on April 10, 2020 – just in time for Easter weekend!
I took the boys to see the movie when it was released in the cinema over February half-term and we really enjoyed it. We loved seeing the lovable Sonic being brought to life in movie form.
Synopsis
Powered with incredible speed, Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz), aka The Blue Blur, embraces his new home on Earth. That is, until he accidentally knocks out the power grid and sparks the attention of super-uncool evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey). Now it’s super-villain vs. super-sonic in an all-out race across the globe to stop Robotnik from using his unique power for world domination. Sonic teams up with The Donut Lord, aka Sheriff Tom Wachowski (James Marsden), to save the planet in this action-packed hit that’s fun for the whole family.
We were sent a preview copy in advance so have a read of our thoughts on the movie below.
Sonic The Hedgehog movie is great entertainment for the whole family. Based on the original game by Sega the movie introduces us to Sonic who has been sent to earth to live on his own in order to hide from the baddies who are after him for his super-fast abilities. I won’t spoil the plot of the movie but there are lots of jokes and laugh out loud moments – we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it’s as a great movie to watch with the family, regardless of whether you’re a fan of gaming or not.
Sonic The Hedgehog movie is available to Download and Keep at all digital stores on April 10 from Sky Store, Apple, Amazon Prime, Google Play, Rakuten TV, BT TV, Sony Playstation Store and XBOX
U.K. Rating: PG—Action, some violence, rude humour and brief mild language
