Video games are, in many ways, more immersive than movies. The experience of interactive narrative requires a level of investment and engagement that exceeds that of watching a film. Detective Pikachu was undoubtedly the best video game movie ever made when it came out in 2016. It still had several notable issues that plagued previous attempts, but it accomplished something few others had tried. Detective Pikachu lets the audience feel immersed in the world of Pokmon.
