Do you like movies? Enjoy going to the theater and getting a snack, or maybe sitting down at home and relaxing for a movie night. If you do, I suggest you never see the third Sonic movie.
This winter break I went to see the new Sonic The Hedgehog 3 movie. After seeing it the only thing I could think was “that was surprisingly terrible.” All the voices were high pitched and
annoying, the eggman character seemed way more goofy and weird than the first movie, which is the only other one I’ve seen. I understand that the movie is mainly for younger children so
there’s some cringe bits in it. But there were way too many times where I either wanted to put in headphones or leave the theater.

You may be wondering why I think this movie is bad, so I will break down the main events for you.
(CAUTION, SPOILERS)
In 1974, the alien hedgehog known as Shadow crashed into the earth contained inside a meteorite. He was taken in by GUN (Guardian Units of Nations) and experimented on by Professor Gerald Robonitic under supervision of Captain Walters. Shadow and the professor’s granddaughter, Maria, form a very close friendship. One night as Gerald, Shadow, and Maria were trying to escape the facility to try and prevent shadow from being taken away, Maria is accidentally killed in an explosion. Walters had to shut down the facility and place Shadow into suspended animation. Fifty years later someone hacks into GUN and releases the hatred filled Shadow. Team Sonic (Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) gets recruited to help defeat Shadow, but they get beaten and Shadow escapes. Team Sonic meets with now-Commander Walters, who tells them about shadows past. Suddenly Dr. Ivo Robotnik’s drones attack and kill Commander Walters who hands off a keycard to sonic before he dies. They decide to find Shadow without help from GUN because one of the officials, Rockwells, turns on team Sonic after finding out about the keycard. Team Sonic meets Ivos assistant, Agent Stone, who claims to have no part in the drone attack. They form an uneasy alliance with Ivo and track the stolen drone to the abandoned GUN facility. Ivo encounters Gerald, it’s revealed he freed Shadow and hacked the drones, as he’s explaining Shadow captures the others. Gerald says how the keycard is one of 2 needed to activate the Eclipse Connan, an orbiting laser space weapon he designed for GUN in exchange for his freedom. The laser has the power to destroy any targeted location on earth. He claims that he plans to use it to destroy GUN headquarters in London and avenge Maria’s death, Ivo agrees to join him. Shadow takes the keycard from Tails and makes a miniature black hole that destroys the base as team Sonic is left behind chained together.
Team Sonic escapes with a ring portal and asks Tom and Maddie to help steal the second keycard from GUN’s headquarters before the Robotnik’s do. Tom successfully obtains the keycard, but Shadow nearly fatally wounds him, allowing the Robotniks to launch the eclipse cannon. Enraged, Sonic abandons Knuckles and Tails, steals the master emerald, and uses the 7 chaos emeralds within to become super Sonic. Sonic confronts Shadow and gets the emerald beaten out of him, Shadow then steals the emeralds and becomes Super Shadow. Sonic eventually overpowers Shadow but relents when he realizes he let anger and revenge consume him. Sonic explains his backstory of how he lost his mentor Longclaw and how the love for people they’ve lost is more important than revenge. Having a change of heart Shadow agrees to help stop the cannon. On the eclipse cannon Gerald reveals his true intentions of destroying the whole world to avenge Maria. Ivo attempts to disrupt the firing sequence because he would rather rule over humanity than destroy it, but Gerald destroys the command console. Tails and Knuckles show up and the three knock Gerald into the reactor core, killing him. Sonic and Shadow try as hard as they can to hold back the laser beam while the three onboard (Ivo, Tails, and Knuckles) steer it away from the earth’s direction, slicing off a piece of the moon on accident. Sonic loses strength, exits super form, and starts to fall down to earth but is saved by Knuckles and Tails using a ring portal. As the cannon’s core begins to melt down Ivo makes a final broadcast to the earth acknowledging Stone as his only friend before he and Shadow sacrifice themselves to move it away from earth as it explodes. Sonic reconciles with Knuckles and Tails as Tom recovers. During a race with Tails and Knuckles, Sonic accidentally ends up in New York and is ambushed by an army of Metal Sonic robots but is saved by Amy Rose. Elsewhere, Shadow has survived the cannon’s destruction. (The End)
