Today’s film was 9. This is the first and only time I will watch this film. After watching the trailer a couple years a go with Coheed in the background I was very hopeful of a great film but this film did not meet my expectations. This film is not good. It suffers from so many clichés and doesn’t come to any conclusion.
This clichés bothered the film, and me throughout at least the story and characters, felt old and unoriginal. It’s sad because the visuals are beautiful. The art direction is great. I loved how the puppets and monsters looked. Even the one that looked like the spider baby from the original Toy Story looked great. But the heroine who is loved by the main character, the leader who is eventually bad, the dumb jock/guard, the death of the sidekick, all these clichés tear this film down.
While watching I had my idea for the end and when it got there I was disappointed. This ending was bland and didn’t really make much sense. I was hoping of an original idea that successful created meaning to the puppets and to the film but it didn’t. I really feel bad because the film has a great setting and a great idea for a story but the path it takes doesn’t work. The action is really just tossed in to keep it entertaining and it still is only 71 minutes.
I can’t help but dislike this film. I know that a lot of people like it but I can’t put myself down enough to enjoy it. If you like it, that’s great, keep liking it but if you haven’t seen it I suggest you pass. If you want a post-apocalyptic world with robots watch Wall.E,
Positives: Art direction, character design
Negatives: Lose and unoriginal plot, clichés, characters
Score 2/5
*It might seem lame that I’m not doing bigger and more popular movies but I feel that most people have seen them. I’ll still do one if somebody wants me to but I’m trying to find films that I’ve always wanted to see or the are films that got overlooked. The Departed was the biggest film I watched and you can see the terrible review so I’m going to try to stick to films I haven’t seen so I can give you my initial reaction and try to hopefully give you new films to watch. But anyway, once again thanks for reading. Any suggestions on films for me to watch are much appreciated.
