Movie Reviews of Street Fighter Alpha - Generations
Movie Review: Wow! Really as bad as everyone says.
Summary: 1 Stars
I watched this after watching the Street Fighter II V series. I didn't like the animation in Generations and after reading other people's reviews I can say the animation is crap.
I want to say the story was good, but I am not even sure I understood it. If I were teaching a class on story telling I would use Generations as a perfect example of how NOT to tell a story. It jumps around and doesn't develop any character properly. Maybe it's due to time constraints (45mins).
I can't even recommend this as background viewing while you're on your computer or doing something else.
Generations is the equivelant of Dragon's Lair for the NES. Probably the worst POS I've seen in my life. The only redeeming value is that it is Street Fighter and includes Ryu, Ken, Akuma, and Sakura.
Generations makes the Street Fighter USA series look like gold.
Summary of Street Fighter Alpha - Generations
When ryu returns to pay homage to his deceased mentor gouken he is tormented by disturbing memories of his masters killer. In a quest to become a true martial arts master he sets out to hone his street fighting skills & deliver himself from the haunting legacy of the dark hadou. Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 10/25/2005 Run time: 45 minutes Rating: Pg13The OVA Alpha Generations serves as a prequel to the popular Street Fighter continuity that includes two movies, a TV series, and another OVA. (There's also a live-action Street Fighter based on the same video game.) Ryu returns to the mountains where he lived as a child to visit the grave of his original martial arts master: Gouken was killed by Gouki, a renegade student who embraced the "dark Hadou." Much of the back story is related by an old monk who helps Ryu in his training and explains the ancient origins of the evil Hadou that turned Gouki into a demon. The monk's wisdom and the gentle presence of his granddaughter prepare Ryu for his inevitable battle with Gouki. The minimal plot unfolds in disjointed fragments, but fans of the Street Fighter series aren't looking for compelling narratives: As four members of Japanese cast say in the special feature, "watch the fighting scenes." (Unrated, suitable for ages 15 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
