Jay Aldridge Well, Jon Chu (the director and co-producer) apparently said that this Jem movie before it was made was going to be a love letter to the fans, the original fans of the animated series. It was so far removed, when images first appeared of Jem and the Holograms, and the trailers arrived, it didn't resemble the show properly with alleged missing things from the series like the Jem star earrings, the Misfits and Synergy. Two of which did appear, but one of the three, the Misfits, did look like them, but Synergy was a little male robot webcam on wheels instead of a female holographic computer synthesiser machine. The trailers and movie did sadden and disappoint people, so much so, some people didn't go and see it and others may have seen it and then said how bad they found it to be online to other Jem fans. I'm happy for new fans who didn't know of the animated series, and I'm happy for new fans who know of the animated series, but all of us Jem fans are seeing it from a different angle, era and style of the Jem brand. 😃
I honestly loved the original Jem and the Holograms. It was complex, fun, and it was honestly a wonderful series and franchise. It was hard going into this movie after seing the trailer, but I decided to put my thoughts aside and watch the movie. I thought that the movie would be great and I could enjoy the film like the average movie goer, but the movie itself is bad. The writing is terrible and the acting is really lack luster. The comedy was always off, and the thematic elements were mis placed. If the film was good, I dont think all of the original Jem fans would be upset. They are mad, because you took from the source material and connected very little of it,made a really bad movie, and then slapped the name Jem and the Holograms to it. The movie got boring, I felt as if they did an American Psycho 2 . Have a base script that has nothing to do with the movie they are connecting it with, made a really bad, and added the source material name to it for box office revenue. It was clear they wanted to get the original audience in the theaters to make money off of the movie, and I am glad it didn't work. Also they said the movie was going to be in the 80s, and be based off of the comic book series. The director lied to the fans and expected us to watch. That's why we don't like it.
Jay, we gave it a chance and it literally was nothing like the cartoon, which if they was gonna name the movie after the cartoon, at least make *SOME* type of similar creation to it. I liked the music from the movie, though.

I was jem growing up, in so many ways. My mom made me the outfits and I wanted pink hair, three years of Halloween I was Jem even. I am obsessed and this song just resonates with me. It means something to me. The lyrics have meaning, unlike so much garbage on the radio right now.
I'm a bit late but Jem and the Holograms was originally a TV show. Many generations grew up watching it and it was arguably one of the best cartoons ever made. This studio and director completely changed up everything but the names, which is why it isn't "popular" nor positively-reviewed.
Patrick Ballestia I'm happy you like it, Patrick, and I'm sure it's wonderful too, but it's definitely its own creation of Jem, so to speak. Check out Jem and the Holograms on Netflix, or other places like Dailymotion, and you'll see the mind-blowing coolness that 1985-1988 had to share in that animated series. 😊😃
I see why people are salty about this film. But whether people like to admit it or not, the 80s cartoon isn’t known by many kids in this generation. They just modernized the story so that kids from this generation could enjoy jem and the holograms like everyone else did back in the 80s. This movie definitely will never live up to the greatness of the original show, but it was a decent film for a modern take on the story of hem and the holograms.
bailey mcroberts I wouldn't say that original fans of the animated series are "salty" as that is not a particularly nice word to describe them. 😄 Jon Chu, a fellow 30 something, who was quoted as saying that this was a love letter to the fans, meaning the original fans, as nobody younger were Jem fans until they had gone and had seen the movie. 😃
I've been here in This place I've been stuck In this space Like a ghost that's been missing,it's lie Silent words in my mouth Yeah,they want to scream out And I'll leave my old shadow behind In my heart and out of my mind (Oh woah) I'll go,but won't go quietly Go down, but I'll go down fighting Don't know where,don't know why But I can't go back, back to the way I was I'll show who I am from the inside Gonna take my walk on the wild side Don't know where,don't know why But I can't go back, back to the way I was Oh woah, oh woah, oh Oh woah, oh woah, oh Oh woah, oh woah No, I can't go back, back to the way I was I'm the leaf, I'm a seed That's been waiting for spring I'm a girl reinventing herself We might fall, we might rise We are all butterflies Breaking free from our jars on the shelf Finding out the truth for ourselves (Oh woah) I'll go,but won't go quietly Go down, but I'll go down fighting Don't know where,don't know why But I can't go back, back to the way I was I'll show who I am from the inside Gonna take my walk on the wild side Don't know where,don't know why But I can't go back, back to the way I was Oh woah, oh woah, oh Oh woah, oh woah, oh Oh woah, oh woah No, I can't go back, back to the way I was I'll go,but won't go quietly Go down, but I'll go down fighting Don't know where,don't know why But I can't go back, back to the way I was I'll go,but won't go quietly Go down, but I'll go down fighting Could be hurt, could be love But I can't go back, back to the way I was I'll show who I am from the inside Gonna take my walk on the wild side Don't know where,don't know why But I can't go back, back to the way I was Oh woah, oh woah, oh Oh woah, oh woah, oh Oh woah, oh woah No, I can't go back, back to the way I was
Die hard Jem fan. Butchered the source material, but they used a lot of it at least. This movie really should be the prequel to the real Jem movie. With the Misfits introduced at the end of this film, they really could have made the proper sequel. More REAL holograms. Give Synergy a female voice now she's complete. Jem could be running Starlight now with Rio. I know I'm dreaming but... :P
Michael Wood Check out Chickbait's channel as they made a Jem fan film, which was crowdfunded by fans (and on less than 5 million dollars) and it is more like the animated series. 😃 It's not out yet, but the trailer is here and ready to hit our screens this Spring. 😃 ruclips.net/video/Y-aSu72YVa4/видео.html
I saw the movie, I do not remember this song, but that's understandable because I tried my hardest to forget what I just saw in the movie theater. Love this song. Real nice!!
I am a man 69 years old. And I thought this movie was good. I watched this movie when I was 65. And the message that I got from it is that we are all trying to figure out who we are. We are tired of being manipulated by an unjust system of people who think that we are here just for their use. We are instructed by them in how we should be instead of them opening up our minds to the possibilities of who we can be. And they instruct us in how to be what they want us to be for their use. When GOD saved me from the life that I was told that I must live I found out where I belonged. But this system does not like free thinkers. Once you have been enlightened to the freedom to be something or someone better than they tell you you are. You can't go back to the way you were. When you have been freed to embrace the freedom of choice to be better, you can't go back to the chains of someone else's desire for you. In the song it talks about us all being "Butterfly's". But think about a butterfly in it's previous state. A worm. Crawling around on many legs. Subject to being stepped on by someone who didn't like how it looked with its many legs. But, everyone looks at a butterfly and admires its ability to fly and move on the freedom of the wind. to go wherever it wants when it wants. Thus, I can't go back, "Back to the way I was".
As a fan of the original from the 80s knowing how far Hollywood has advanced! They could've done more a lot more! Closer to the fantasy! We grew up with!
Not sure why this movie wasn't better received (more popular) - Just watched it and loved it, the vocals and songs were great. My inner 80s child was grinning ear to ear :D
I'v been looking for so long for this movie 😭 remember only the rythm and dat didnt help at all😭 only after 5 years do i finally get to see this piece of art again😭😭❤️🥺
The worst part, @shqipe L, was the ending when you see the fans of the show talking about why they love it, and the people who made this film edited the footage to make it look like they're talking about the movie.
So I grew up LOVING this show in the 80’s it had quite the impact and I fucking love this movie. This song is almost my senior quote from high school, “I shall go down fighting or will not go down at all, bang bang!”
I love this movie a bit more after discussing it with Samantha Newark. She didn't even skip a beat when I asked why Jem songs from the old show weren't included. She told me straight up it was because of copyright.
I liked the movie. but the rivalry between jem and the holograms and the misfits is what made the cartoon so great. the end bit of the movie with the misfits was awesome, but we won't get to see that happen in a second movie now. bummer!
Stephanie Cline Maybe if Jon M Chu, Jason Blum, Scooter Braun, Ryan Landels and the rest of the crew and the fans crowdfund the movie, maybe it could happen. The script has already been written for a sequel and the cast and crew are all up for doing it. It was, (or it still can be) to be called "Jem 2: The Rise Of The Misfits". 😊😃
Why do I feel like I’m the only person in the world who actually enjoys this movie? Yes story wise is not the best but you can’t deny the music is stunningly beautiful
This was a very entertaining movie for all ages, and the music was very enjoyable. I just wish I knew what happened to their Mother if anyone knows please let me know. (Molly Ringwald was really great also!)
Jerrica and Kimber's mother Jacqui died in a plane crash on the way to a show where she was performing (she was a singer herself), only a few years before their dad Emmett passed away.
+Johnny Galindo No worries... When Jacqui died Jerrica was about 13-14, and Kimber about 10-11... They had already adopted Aja and Shana by then. Jacqui had a single called "Starlight" and used to wear earrings like the ones that Jerrica/Jem wears now. 😊👍🏻
I remember when Jem and the girls went to their old house and they looked at the cement where they signed their names when they were kids i'm guessing she was still alive then. That was a pretty cool moment. Starlight!! That means Erica Raymond used that name for her record label.
TRuThsTeR: Wake up world please.. really? ? You're gonna comment a year after someone posted a comment just to be mean to them ? Your life must suck troll.
Tbh I only heard about this film months ago, I actually don't even remember it being out in the cinema or seeing ads, I saw it on TV and instantly fell I love with it, I really like it idk about anyone else also I've seen some eps of the cartoon on RUclips and yes ok this is nothing like it but it's still grate and Inspirational
Totally agree. Don't know why people say it's bad just because it's not like the cartoon. I think it's still a great movie. Songs are great, the story is great and I love how they did this scene. The lighting for this is awesome. I'm so glad I don't listen to people's negative remarks when it comes to movies. And I never look at Rotten Tomatoes ratings. I watch for myself and then decide if it's good or not. This is good and I own it so I can watch it as many times as I want.
I love this movie, it's so original, it may not be like the original series from before, but her new ideas are as good as synergy, etc. I do not understand why she's so hated, to me it's so amazing :)
Hiram Luque I am happy you like the 2015 movie version of Jem and the Holograms, Rio, Synergy, etc. 😊😃 The animated series is cool as well. You should try and watch that. The episodes are all on Dailymotion's website, which is like RUclips. 😊😃
I've made comments before but a while back after the movie was pulled from theaters, there was a convention near my town that had Samantha Newark (the voice of Jem). I went and ended up having my own tiny interview with her about what happened. She claimed that the director's original script was very, VERY Jem! They just couldn't find out who owned the rights to the music, and when the trailer released the director didnt even get to sign it off as ready. She actually pleaded for me to rewatch and give this new Jem movie a try because she believed it was a good introduction for the new generation. She even sang a few lines from I'm Still Here. I know she's not the original singer, but she is such a sweet woman in person. The movie might not be canon or close due to changes, but it was still Jem. Sad we didn't get a sequel :(
The fans of the movie on certain Jem and the Holograms fan pages on Facebook are trying to get Jon Chu, (maybe Jason Blum and Scooter Braun as well) to make a sequel as there was a script written, bringing the Misfits into it as well. 😃
I love the movie so much, and i think it’s perfect to watch with our father for father’s day make me realize how much i love my family and also my father who take risk for many years to give me colorful life💕😭
I don't know why but when I hear this song it reminds me it is okay not to be the same person as always .its better to find a place where your happiness is rather than remain where your comfort zone is
Because Jem was an icon 80's cartoon with a story we all part of that generation know. And they took those characters, names and did a totally different movie ruining what we fans all over the world wanted and expected from a Jem movie. We want them to use the original script and concept that made from Jem one of the most unforgettable cartoons ever.
It's a beautiful song. The words could be inspirational for someone who is suffering from gender dysphoria and deciding that they have no choice and must transition in order to stay alive. In the song the butterfly evolves and is free. So many obstacles and battles to surmount.
This was a great movie. I really cant understand why it got bad reviews and why it wasn't promoted more. Love this song its my favorite part of the movie. Great job guys and the end really took me by surprise with the misfits especially Kesha playing pizzazz. I'd love to see more from that character. Wish they had a second part.
I think the movie was excellent. I think its a great story for little girls about the decisions you make have important effects on everyone and of course having respect for the individual that you are.
I liked the film, but I loved the soundtrack. Honestly, the film could have been better, but at the same time I understand that it was updating the story better to match the times rather than rehash some of the more outlandish plots from the show. Both versions of Jem have their own hearts and I think we have to keep that in mind. But I adore this song - rather than something sad like they used it in context to the movie, it feels more like a self-empowerment song - "I'll go down, but I'll go down fighting" and "I can't go back to the way I was" really hit me more saying "I've been knocked down and shoved in the dirt, but I'm going to fight for myself now and I'm not going to be your doormat anymore - I'm going to be myself and I'm not going back to that low place ever again". I just really like this song...
I think the movie was okay as far as story line went but the music and her voice are incredible.
Agree but they shouls had male a series first and later the movie cuz the new generation don't know who Jem is
I didn't like the story much, plus there was no internet and Synergy was a male robot and in the tv cartoon...Synergy was a female board speaker🤔
@@rubyweymouth6843 Why is everyone saying she's a male robot in the movie? There's literally a scene where Jem finds out it's a girl..
I loved the movie. Don't know why people didn't give it a chance. I love this song.
Jay Aldridge Well, Jon Chu (the director and co-producer) apparently said that this Jem movie before it was made was going to be a love letter to the fans, the original fans of the animated series. It was so far removed, when images first appeared of Jem and the Holograms, and the trailers arrived, it didn't resemble the show properly with alleged missing things from the series like the Jem star earrings, the Misfits and Synergy.
Two of which did appear, but one of the three, the Misfits, did look like them, but Synergy was a little male robot webcam on wheels instead of a female holographic computer synthesiser machine.
The trailers and movie did sadden and disappoint people, so much so, some people didn't go and see it and others may have seen it and then said how bad they found it to be online to other Jem fans.
I'm happy for new fans who didn't know of the animated series, and I'm happy for new fans who know of the animated series, but all of us Jem fans are seeing it from a different angle, era and style of the Jem brand. 😃

this song is heart touching
Very true
It is. Too bad it’s in a terrible movie that completely shits all over the original Jem and what made it good in the first place.
I love this song so much. All of them actually. Aubrey is so amazing,
The lyrics are very meaningful, believe it or not. Since my mom grew up with the original show, she still loved this

In my heart and out of my mind

We might fall, we might rise
We are all butterflies
Breaking free from our jars on the shelf
Finding out the truth for ourselves

So I grew up LOVING this show in the 80’s it had quite the impact and I fucking love this movie. This song is almost my senior quote from high school, “I shall go down fighting or will not go down at all, bang bang!”
This is my favorite song from the movie.
Very awesome scene. Choreography was on, song was on, and Jem's look.... ON!!! #saveoursequel
i love this movie so much
I love this movie a bit more after discussing it with Samantha Newark. She didn't even skip a beat when I asked why Jem songs from the old show weren't included. She told me straight up it was because of copyright.
i get shivers EVERY single time i watch this
aya palomo Is that good? 😃
My dad loved this song and he listened to this song the night that he passed away
I miss you rip dad
i love you gem .i cry for this movie.
I liked the movie. but the rivalry between jem and the holograms and the misfits is what made the cartoon so great. the end bit of the movie with the misfits was awesome, but we won't get to see that happen in a second movie now. bummer!
Stephanie Cline Maybe if Jon M Chu, Jason Blum, Scooter Braun, Ryan Landels and the rest of the crew and the fans crowdfund the movie, maybe it could happen.
The script has already been written for a sequel and the cast and crew are all up for doing it.
It was, (or it still can be) to be called "Jem 2: The Rise Of The Misfits". 😊😃
They should’ve stuck to the source material more for that to possibly happen.
Wait there was a show?! If so, please tell me!

It was a rad carroon from the 80's. One of my absolute favorites as a kid!!
Ash Merlin Check out “Jem and the Holograms” on Dailymotion as all 65 episodes from the 3 seasons of the 1980’s animated series are there. 😃😊👍🏻
Why do I feel like I’m the only person in the world who actually enjoys this movie? Yes story wise is not the best but you can’t deny the music is stunningly beautiful
@flytothemountains824 I ain’t reading all that
@flytothemountains824 who are you? My mom?
@flytothemountains824 wow, it completely went right over your head 😂
@flytothemountains824 you make absolutely no sense 😂
@flytothemountains824 you hating on this movie makes no sense. You don’t see the bigger picture.
This was a very entertaining movie for all ages, and the music was very enjoyable. I just wish I knew what happened to their Mother if anyone knows please let me know. (Molly Ringwald was really great also!)
Jerrica and Kimber's mother Jacqui died in a plane crash on the way to a show where she was performing (she was a singer herself), only a few years before their dad Emmett passed away.
Thanks for the info, that's one I can scratch off my bucket list! Still very sad!!
+Johnny Galindo No worries... When Jacqui died Jerrica was about 13-14, and Kimber about 10-11... They had already adopted Aja and Shana by then. Jacqui had a single called "Starlight" and used to wear earrings like the ones that Jerrica/Jem wears now. 😊👍🏻
I remember when Jem and the girls went to their old house and they looked at the cement where they signed their names when they were kids i'm guessing she was still alive then. That was a pretty cool moment. Starlight!! That means Erica Raymond used that name for her record label.
TRuThsTeR: Wake up world please.. really? ? You're gonna comment a year after someone posted a comment just to be mean to them ? Your life must suck troll.
I love this film. It was very interested and beautiful.
God knows how many times I have listened to this song its so encouraging I can't go back to the way I was
This movie is so underrated it’s so freaking good!!!!!!!
Tbh I only heard about this film months ago, I actually don't even remember it being out in the cinema or seeing ads, I saw it on TV and instantly fell I love with it, I really like it idk about anyone else also I've seen some eps of the cartoon on RUclips and yes ok this is nothing like it but it's still grate and Inspirational
Totally agree. Don't know why people say it's bad just because it's not like the cartoon. I think it's still a great movie. Songs are great, the story is great and I love how they did this scene. The lighting for this is awesome. I'm so glad I don't listen to people's negative remarks when it comes to movies. And I never look at Rotten Tomatoes ratings. I watch for myself and then decide if it's good or not. This is good and I own it so I can watch it as many times as I want.
when I was a little girl I LOVED this song, I find it after years and it's still the same emotion lol
This movie needs more APPRECIATION
I love how this song is so empowering I don't want to go back to the abusive life that I had, I can't and I won't
Love It!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
That part of the movie made me cry 😭
I love this movie, it's so original, it may not be like the original series from before, but her new ideas are as good as synergy, etc. I do not understand why she's so hated, to me it's so amazing :)
Hiram Luque I am happy you like the 2015 movie version of Jem and the Holograms, Rio, Synergy, etc. 😊😃
The animated series is cool as well. You should try and watch that. The episodes are all on Dailymotion's website, which is like RUclips. 😊😃
I love this movie gems father encouraged her to pursue her dream so inspiring.

I love this song so much I really love it so much
2021 and I'm listening to the song...what an inspiration
I've made comments before but a while back after the movie was pulled from theaters, there was a convention near my town that had Samantha Newark (the voice of Jem). I went and ended up having my own tiny interview with her about what happened. She claimed that the director's original script was very, VERY Jem! They just couldn't find out who owned the rights to the music, and when the trailer released the director didnt even get to sign it off as ready. She actually pleaded for me to rewatch and give this new Jem movie a try because she believed it was a good introduction for the new generation. She even sang a few lines from I'm Still Here. I know she's not the original singer, but she is such a sweet woman in person. The movie might not be canon or close due to changes, but it was still Jem. Sad we didn't get a sequel :(
The fans of the movie on certain Jem and the Holograms fan pages on Facebook are trying to get Jon Chu, (maybe Jason Blum and Scooter Braun as well) to make a sequel as there was a script written, bringing the Misfits into it as well. 😃
I love the movie so much, and i think it’s perfect to watch with our father for father’s day make me realize how much i love my family and also my father who take risk for many years to give me colorful life💕😭
I know it makes me feel like how I am now because I use to be someone else but now I'm just different.
I don't understand all of the negativity this film received. I thought it was amazing.
Nikki Long Me too
Nikki Long so did I! They're all very talented and this movie really did inspire me
Nikki Long this movie was amazing it made me cry
It's a matter of opinion, and there's no right or wrong opinion. I don't think that it's a shitty adaptation, and I liked what they did with the film.
This movie was really great! So sensitive! I always cry when I watch it! Loved it!
This song has so much meaning. I cant believe she agreed to go solo
Love this song so much can't stop listening to it.
Nice song
2020 and this still touches me differently every time I hear
Love her songs and her movies
I don't know why but when I hear this song it reminds me it is okay not to be the same person as always .its better to find a place where your happiness is rather than remain where your comfort zone is
This song always gives me hope or strength to stand tall.I loved this movie so much to me it never gets old😘😘
i love jem!!! this is making mine heart go
Her voice is amazing💗👏
Brilliant Work!
this movie its amazing its a dream of every person wonna be singer love it
Awesome..the movie inspired me and her music ..
This fits where I was and where I must go now.
Because Jem was an icon 80's cartoon with a story we all part of that generation know. And they took those characters, names and did a totally different movie ruining what we fans all over the world wanted and expected from a Jem movie. We want them to use the original script and concept that made from Jem one of the most unforgettable cartoons ever.
Everardo Mora thank you!!!!
Nice hook 💘💘
this is an amazing movie😍😍
i love her voice, she's remind me of sia!!! i love it!
This movie was the introduction of Jem for many of us. I think the movie was ok. I wouldn’t mind a second part.
Love the movie and the song very much
Such a good song..she killed it
who is watching in 2017
Abs Baxter I'm watching love the music love the film
Abi Baxter me and I Love the song too!
Abi Baxter me
Me !!!🤚🏽
Screw you I'm watching this in 2018
i cant stop listening to this song hahaha nice job
i loved the movie no one can say any different
i also love this song the way i was
SAME!!!
This is my favorite part of the movie. She didn't wanna go solo but she killed it anyway #Jem
It's a beautiful song. The words could be inspirational for someone who is suffering from gender dysphoria and deciding that they have no choice and must transition in order to stay alive. In the song the butterfly evolves and is free. So many obstacles and battles to surmount.
a fantastic movie with fantastic music
I would like to own the soundtrack! love aubreys voice
I'm so I'm love with this movie
It's so amazing and beautiful 😿
This was a great movie. I really cant understand why it got bad reviews and why it wasn't promoted more. Love this song its my favorite part of the movie. Great job guys and the end really took me by surprise with the misfits especially Kesha playing pizzazz. I'd love to see more from that character. Wish they had a second part.
This reminds me of Percy Jackson. after everything he's been through he can never go back to how he was before.
one of my favorite movies
I think the movie was excellent. I think its a great story for little girls about the decisions you make have important effects on everyone and of course having respect for the individual that you are.
I liked the film, but I loved the soundtrack. Honestly, the film could have been better, but at the same time I understand that it was updating the story better to match the times rather than rehash some of the more outlandish plots from the show. Both versions of Jem have their own hearts and I think we have to keep that in mind.
But I adore this song - rather than something sad like they used it in context to the movie, it feels more like a self-empowerment song - "I'll go down, but I'll go down fighting" and "I can't go back to the way I was" really hit me more saying "I've been knocked down and shoved in the dirt, but I'm going to fight for myself now and I'm not going to be your doormat anymore - I'm going to be myself and I'm not going back to that low place ever again".
I just really like this song...
Love this song and this movie
JEMMMMMM
This song always makes me cry
