The animation and background music are both well done and fit perfectly but mostly everything else leaves much to be desired. I will say I did enjoy the final 20 minutes but the first hour and a bit kind of just dragged on. Karo: Nine miniature robots named after numbers awaken in a post apocalyptic wasteland and try to survive the mechanical monster that is hunting them for some reason. When one of them gets captured, 9 puts together a rescue mission to save him. This endeavor results in over half of them getting killed, including the guy they were trying to rescue, and them accidentally powering up (another) evil machine. Nice job, guys. Many questions are left unanswered, such as why was the Machine trying to steal the souls of the nine anyway? Why didn't the inventor just destroy the Machine's activation key instead of just leaving it around so some numbskull could reactivate the whole robot menace that ruined the world in the past? Why did the talisman suddenly spout bacteria? Hell, the talisman key in general never made any fucking sense at all, it just seemed like whenever the writers hit a dead end they went like 'its the magic talisman, bitch! that's why!' Once again, Tim Burton gets the chance to make another animated movie, and once again it is very disappointing. It makes you wonder if it was really Burton that made Nightmare Before Christmas so great in the first place. red: There is little I hate more than a mystery that doesn't deliver, and this movie is a big giant mystery that doesn't deliver. With a deliberately bleak artstyle and same-looking characters, the movie certainly isnt a great attention getter. And the mystery just...doesn't make sense. Don't destroy the robot, but we are going to destroy it anyways. And then its going to rain bacteria somehow because reasons. This is somehow supposed to save the world, I guess? From what I understand this is a short that they tried to turn into a full movie. Unfortunaterly, the narrative and plot just wasn't there to stretch this out to a whole film. What you are left at in the end if a big "ok, that happened, I guess". Theres little fulfilment. For a movie that feels like its hiding something from you the whole time, the answers just feel like you wasted your time. --- :> Truly smilin' ... Copied to Clipboard! |
