The world's first vacuum-tube super-conducting linear train is built with the latest Japanese technology and timed to coincide with the WSG opening ceremonies.WAYYYYYY TOO MUCH GOING ON WOW but such high quality production!!!!!!!

People who sail to sea all fear JOLLY ROGER which was formed by red flag Jolly Rouge & devil OLD ROGER. Now 2007. Conan won in a gazette riddle and Mori used the money on vacation inside Koumi island with the kids and Ran. Iwagana, Koumi travel guide, wish to avail tourists' wisdoms to find Anne Bonny's 1700 plotted treasures. What was the precious treasure that Anne Bonny kept inside Yoriyajima since 1700 times when she worked with Mary Read?Boring, underwhelming, but good suspense. Filler movie.
- DirectorTomoka NagaokaStarsMinami TakayamaWakana YamazakiMegumi HayashibaraAfter being recovered from a pirate ship sunk in the nineteenth century off the coast of Singapore.Boring, not that memorable. Singapore was cool.
- DirectorYasuichirô YamamotoStarsMinami TakayamaWakana YamazakiAkira KamiyaConan and Kogoro Mori was tasked to solve a crime on a given time. The lives of their loved ones(as well as their own) are on the line. Solving the mystery means saving everyone.Flawed execution with a messy plot. Good pacing, nothing else worked that well. Theme park was cool, villain wasn't.
- DirectorKenji KodamaStarsMinami TakayamaWakana YamazakiKappei YamaguchiThree Police officers get murdered. Then, Ran saw the murderer murder her best friend and she lost her memory. Now Conan and Inspector Megure are trying to find the murderer.A fun time (and theme park), until the end - no satisfying closure :'( WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN!!!! One of the few Conan movies that made us mad.
- DirectorYasuichirô YamamotoStarsMinami TakayamaAkira KamiyaWakana YamazakiA murder was committed on a ship. To solve the case, Conan will need to open a case from 15 years ago.A boat one. Boring, predictable, filler movie. Mouri was the highlight, otherwise characters slimmed down to the basic versions of themselves.
- DirectorKôbun ShizunoStarsMinami TakayamaKappei YamaguchiWakana YamazakiAfter participating in the opening ceremony, Conan, Professor Agasa, Ran, Haibara, and the Detective Boys are enjoying the view from the observation deck of the 635-metre tall Bell Tree Tower. Suddenly, a bullet breaks through a window, strikes a man's chest and breaks a TV screen, causing everyone to panic. Conan stays calm and, using the zoom function on his tracking glasses to follow the path of the bullet to its source, spots the sniper. He and Masumi Sera, who had been present at the Tower as part of an assignment to shadow the victim, pursue the fleeing culprit on Masumi's motorcycle, but the chase takes a violent turn when the suspect uses a handgun and even hand grenades to take out his pursuers. Even the FBI get involved in the chase, but the culprit and the mysteries of the sniping end up vanishing into the ocean. The investigation turns up a connection to the special United States Navy squadron, the Navy SEALS and other former US military officers working in Japan. However, the first sniping was just the beginning; as more people are shot, the citizens of Tokyo panic! What is the meaning of the rifle case and dice left behind? As his investigation progresses, Conan soon finds himself in the sniper's cross-hairs, only to be saved by Masumi who intervenes and takes the bullet in his stead. And, in the background, Subaru Okiya begins to make his move... The sniper/culprit is Kevin Yoshino, while the entire murder plan was created by his master Timothy Hunter. Kevin became Hunter's student and helped him carry out the plan because he wanted to repay Hunter for saving his life during their war operations in the Middle East. The reason for the serial killings was that Waltz was jealous of Hunter's achievements, which belittled his own actions. Waltz set Hunter up so he wouldn't get the Silver Star. He even ordered Murphy to assassinate Hunter, but the bullet failed to kill him, although a fragment of it remained in Hunter's skull and damaged his optical nerves, severely impairing him. Yoshino eventually discovered the deception, but Waltz destroyed the evidence before it could be used in court, driving Hunter into conceiving his revenge plan. The five sniping positions used for the murders, if viewed from ground level, combine to form a pentagon, which marks the five points of a Silver Star. Kevin attempted to kill Waltz, but Conan saved the latter by kicking a ball at him to knock him out of the bullet's way. Kevin then attempted to kill Conan, but Subaru saved him. Ran, unaware of Conan's plan of saving Ayumi decides to go after Kevin herself but trips ends up being Kevin's target. She is saved thanks to the combined effort of Conan and Subaru, and she manages to take Kevin down after that - for Ayumi, for Sonoko and for Sera. In the end, Subaru Okiya answers a call from James Black with Shuichi Akai's voice.Inferior to Raven Chaser. Confusing characters and plot, not fulfilling. Black Organization clickbait SMH WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN!!!!!!!!! Filler movie, Conan figured it out too conveniently.
