After 5 decades, Shadow, another alien hedgehog, escapes his prison and begins to execute his revenge plan. G.U.N. cannot apprehend him and turns to Sonic and his friends for assistance. Outmatched and overpowered, Sonic must team up with his nemesis, Dr. Robotinic, to stop Shadow and save Earth again.
This is the third installment of the Sonic franchise, and it is darker than its predecessors. The movie has all the classic Sonic references from the games and some references from the animated series. The story introduces new characters and expands the history of Sonic and aliens on Earth. The story does not entirely explain or share the history, creating some plotholes. Watching the Knucles series before this installment may help clarify the present state of the story and characters. The runtime of one hour and fifty minutes feels long when the movie starts strong but slows down in the middle. With the dark undertones and action sequences, this movie is for older children.
