Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER

The Heisei era is coming to an end but the stories that occurred during that time will be remembered forever. The same thing goes to the Kamen Riders of the Heisei era as the latest installment of TOEI's Movie Taisen series pays tribute to all of the Heisei Riders as they are taking their one last hurrah to save the world from a powerful new enemy.

Kamen Rider
Heisei Generations FOREVER

Heisei Generations FOREVER pays tribute to all of the Heisei era Kamen Riders from Kuuga to Zi-O as all of the Riders joined forces to battle against the most powerful adversary plotting to erase their existence in a snap. Rings a bell, huh?

While the film features most of the memorable characters from the Heisei-era Kamen Rider TV series including Zi-O's Sogo Tokiwa, Geiz Myoukouin, Tsukuyomi, and Woz, and Build's Sento Kiryu, Ryuga Banjo, Kazumi Sawatari, and Gentoku Himuro, among many others, it features original characters such as a young Kamen Rider enthusiast, a mysterious Imagin named Futaros and a powerful new villain known as the Super Time Jacker Teed, trying to erase the existence of Heisei era Kamen Riders in a snap.

Also, Zi-O battles against new Another Riders never seen on the Kamen Rider Zi-O TV series such as Another W, Another DEN-O, and the baddest of all of the Another Riders, Another Kuuga. Such fierce battles deserve fierce upgrades and Zi-O, along with numerous Ride Watches he and Geiz collected along the way, is armed with movie-exclusive armors such as the W Armor  and the Kuuga Armor. Won't spoil how he done it but expect epic fight scenes along the way.

The appearances of all of the Heisei era Kamen Riders in the film really is the most ambitious sendoff ever pulled off for the whole moviegoers, especially Rider fans, to see and while it's about as close as you can get from the Infinity War, it's a great honor for the fans to see their favorite childhood Rider heroes once more as they have reached their endgame they will never forget. The thrills, the suspense, the epic fight scenes, this film knows how to end this era with a bang and while it wasn't large scale as such, fans are happy that they are part of the endgame the Riders ever pulled off.

My rating: 3.9 out of 5.
