Movie Reviews of Code Lyoko: The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Better With Time
Summary: 4 Stars
"Code Lyoko" strikes many as, odd. The animation style really stands out amidst the anime-style artwork that many shows boast today, and the switch mid-episode into CGI images is another difference.
However, while the initial season is repetitive, Code Lyoko is an absolute joy to watch. It deals with a group of students living in the French boarding school of Kadic Academy. They're four very different people, bound together by two things: Aelita, and the virtual world she lives on, Lyoko.
The 1st season doesn't really introduce the main characters. Instead, it jumps right into the middle of the action with "TeddyGodzilla" and over time we're introduced to the central plot of the season. Jeremie, a gifted student - finds a SuperComputer and an old warehouse. His curiosity getting the better of him, and he turns it on. Inside, is a totally unique virtual world known as "Lyoko" which has been divided into four sectors- and contains a sole inhabitant. A virtual AI computer program known as "Aelita". Soon - the threat of XANA is introduced. XANA is a computer virus that can possess objects at will, and uses them frequently to attack the main characters.
On Lyoko, the students become colorful warriors to combat XANA's monsters in creative, CGI action sequences. Jeremie tries to come up with a code to allow Aelita to live with them on Earth, so they can shut down the Computer for good.
Where the First series of the show falls short, is the repetitive nature of the episodes. There are some wonderful exceptions. While the plot of the 1st series doesn't keep you watching, the characters do. Each one is unique, and watching them interact as a team is great fun. The plot thickens in the later seasons, as new mysteries are uncovered and new characters are introduced. The CGI too, improves rapidly in S2 of the show. Either way- it's worth a watch. You don't have to be a kid to enjoy the fun either. ;)
