Featured reviews
10/10.
Just Like "Tale Of The Brave" Most Of The New Characters Are Fantastic Bill And Ben Getting Roles Here
It Brought Back So Many Old Characters
Sailor John Is An Amazing Yet An Insane Villain
Thomas Is 100% In Character Here
Robert Hartshorne's Score Was At His Absolute Peak Here
The Songs "Never Overlook A Little Engine" And "We Make A Team Together"
The Subplot Of Marion Mistaking Oliver The Great Western With Oliver The Excavator Is Funny
Baddies: Ryan's Character Could've Been Better
Bert, Mike And Rex Don't Serve That Much In The Movie
My Rate: Fantastic.
They also - finally - give screen time to engines who have been mentioned in other stories, but not really had screen time, add a new engine; a new tank engine, whose orders may cause conflict. And a new type of vehicle that's cute and imaginative, even if it could be seen as shoe horned in because of the story.
With Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne and Oscar Nominee John Hurt offering vocal talent, alongside the talented Olivia Colman (who doesn't appear on IMDb, despite voicing a major character), the storyline follows on - if not directly - with a popular franchise; last time it was dinosaurs, this time it's pirates, with many of the clichés that go with that, though while it kept my 19 month old and 3 year old stock still for much of the time (the younger one wasn't happy with the Fat Controller at one point), there are some points about Sailor John that may make adults stop to think. He seems a bit more evil than usual Thomas baddies, especially in regards how he treats Skiff. While there is a back story about the Lost Treasure, there's no real explanation about how he fits into it. And, he can't seem to work when the sun rises...but seems evasive when asked why.
The art work is very pretty - especially the sun rises and atmospheric night shots - and there are a couple of songs; one that sounds like it wouldn't be out of place in Monty Python, the other could fit in a church. We saw the film in a cinema, and there were a couple of great shots that looked even better on the big screen. If your kids like the Railway Series, it's unlikely they'd be too bothered by the story. If you're a parent who has had the previous films on constant repeat, it'll come as a relief to have some variation.
