Maybe expectations were
too high: Brad Bird is a fantastic director, whether it's animation or
movies, all his work has been top notch so far. Damon Lindelhof, though
more hit and miss, has participated in some of the most impactful
(scifi) work of recent years. And yes, the trailers were actually really
cool. Also, maybe it was more aimed at children that I expected /
wanted it to be. However this doesn't excuse two major faults in this
movie: 1) pacing is incredibly slow. Nothing really ever actually
happens. It's just 'there' the whole time and is quite remarkably boring
at times. 2) It's quite idiotic in its moral. Yes the world is going to
hell blablabla but, even if aimed at 6 year olds, there are better
& more subtle ways to get the point across. So yes, very
disappointed. Acting was good (good to see Hugh Laurie back); visuals
were nice but, at the end of the day, I was pretty bored for 2+ hours.
