    Lego the Movie meets the Matrix

    It gave me that Master Builder meets Neo vibe. Down to songs, "Everything is Awesome" and Mariah's "Fantasy" playing constantly in the background.

    Nevertheless, I really, really enjoyed this movie with my wife and son, along with 3 others in the theater. It felt good coming back to an actual theater. I always waited at the end of a movie's run until I go out watch and this kind of felt like that. But, this was the very first movie I watched on opening day. And this was a real good one to watch.
