WARNING: SPOILERS! If you're a teenaged girl & you've never watched the original Jem cartoons, you will probably love this. If you're an old-school Jem fan, you'll probably be disappointed. Much of the plot has changed, and so have some of the characters. Aja makes out with a random guy in public, steals money from Rio's wallet, and says she's spent time in juvenile hall. This sounds more like a Misfit than a Hologram. Speaking of the Misfits, they don't appear except for a brief scene at the very end of the movie. If you don't sit through the closing credits, you'll miss them entirely. I did like two of the changes. Jerrica's transformation to Jem is accomplished through wigs and make-up, rather than a hologram-projecting computer, which made the film more realistic. Changing Eric Raymond to Erica Raymond also made sense. But Emmett Benton leaving a cutesy, robot-like Synergy to his daughter Jerrica serves no purpose, other than to make Jerrica run all over Los Angeles pursuing clues so she could watch a final video of her deceased Dad telling her how much he loves her...couldn't he have just left her a DVD? Not to mention his other daughter, Kimber, gets nothing. Still, this is worth watching, if only to see a live-action version of a beloved animated show. It has a few good songs, and I'd have liked to see a sequel with the Misfits. Read full review
