Lightyear (2022)
6/10
Better than expected, but nothing extraordinary
3 August 2022
This movie shouldn't exist, but here we are. Does that mean that this movie is bad? No, i was surprised with how much i enjoyed it. It has an intriguing concept and of course the animation is beautiful. Pixar is only getting better with their animation. Are they getting better with their films? Ehhhhh, maybe not. Turning red and lightyear just miss that original pixar spark. And Pixar has proven that they can still make amazing movies. Look at coco and the masterpiece that is Soul and I would even say that Onward is very good. I just don't really feel anything with these movies anymore. It's good that Pixar is trying out new things, but that doesn't equal fresh movie ideas. As a Toy Story fan, i enjoyed this movie. But i hate what they did to Zurg. He looks so menacing in this movie, wow, but then we get an explanation as to who he really is, and I hated that. It kinda ruined Zurg for me. In conclusion: I enjoyed it far more than I expected. There is humor, great animation, somewhat interesting story and just family fun. But it had no reason to exist and it also adds nothing new to the table. That's disappointing but let's hope the next Pixar movie will be as good as soul.
