Even the rest of this character's lines were pretty awful, but that was pretty hilarious. This movie is weird and awkward in all the wrong ways. Everything to do with the human "Spot" is just cringe worthy and bad. I was hoping the kid would just get eaten instantly and we could have a totally different movie. Though it wouldn't make the movie THAT much better considering Arlo isn't that great of a main character either. The characters are by far the weak link in this film and it really shows. Not one of the "sad" scenes with Arlo and Spot or any of the characters did I even remotely feel empathy for. The whole side thingy with the T-rexes was also incredibly awkward and weird and didn't feel right at all. That's definitely the next biggest problem with the film is that since it feels so incredibly by the books that when they do do different things, it just feels so cringy and wrong. At least the animation looked really nice, but that's Pixar. It also doesn't help that my two least favorite dinosaurs are "Long Necks" and T-rexes so having them as basically the only good dinosaurs in the film is a huge whatever for me. Overall that's really what I think of the film though. A huge mass of whatever. This doesn't hold a candle to The Land Before Time or even a couple of its sequels. red: A non-sequel Pixar movie that is terrible? What have we come to? Well, we've come to boring. We're supposed to be seeing a world where the dinosaurs didn't die, but we see so little of the world it feels like we just went to a world with a dinosaurs and a single human. These dinos are farmers, for some reason, and everyone else we encounter will be savages. Then you have Arlo. While you can feel bad for Arlo, at the end of the day, he is an idiot and the cause of all problems. He gets his own father killed and then proceeds to put the rest of his family at risk for starvation. Also Arlo is supposed to put his mark on the silo for accomplishing something, but his only accomplishment at the end of the movie is being lucky enough to make it home without dying. He is still worthless. charon: Though this is not Pixar at their worst, it is definitely them at their most forgettable. A boring trod through a mix of beautiful animation and badly done CGI, this movie is led by an unlikable protagonist who never really manages to grab anyone's attention. I'm kinda glad Arlo came along, now Aladar will shine in the gauntlets for sure! Anyway, there are a few decent moments here and there. It's not like it's a bad film; it's just very forgettable and definitely feels like a throwaway title from Sony or another studio. Pixar or Disney being behind this feels very wrong and strange to me. If I had to pick a favorite part, it would be the semi-emotional scene where the main characters reveal that they are connected because they're both orphans. If I had cared about the characters themselves better, I would have probably shed some tears here. It only moved me some, because I remembered I barely cared about any character in this film at all. The supporting cast, the side bit characters, the villains. Everything is so eh. Nothing detracts, but nothing attracts either. --- :> Truly smilin' ... Copied to Clipboard! |
