Mini Film Review Volume 15

Trolls World Tour

When the Queen of the Hard Rock Trolls tries to take over all the Troll kingdoms, Queen Poppy and her friends try different ways to save all the Trolls. I personally love the first one as it a surprise hit with me, but this one is colourful enough but it failed miserably as the song is flat, no characters development and there is no subplot as it try to be safe. It feel like they just rushed it from the start and not really thought about it and it eventually becoming a messed as it try to be funny and endearing but it wasn’t.

Moon

Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three – year stint on the moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet’s power problems. The setup is there and that is the only positive thing in the film as this is so tame with an overcomplicated story and becoming muddled and the lead is bland as well, no character background as well as it become too wearisome.

Shaun The Sheep Movie

When Shaun decides to take the day off and have some fun, he gets a little more action than he bargain for. A mix up with the farmer, a caravan and a very steep hill lead them all to the Big City and it’s up to Shaun and the flock to return everyone safely to the green grass of home. I’m really into Aardman film and this has got potential but it fail on many levels as it not as heart-warming or generally funny and the characters hard to like, it is thinly plotted as there is not much story to it as it is so disappointing.

Cats The Movie

A tribe of cats called the Jellicles must decide yearly which one will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new Jellicle life. I know everyone slaughter this film but it isn’t that bad whatsoever as it is well intentioned with a real story underneath the gloss and star-studded cast that is so good, the emotional core to this film is dead on. The only thing is the SFX might be slightly off putting and some of the song doesn’t work as much and the rest of the song can be really powerful.

Crip Camp

Down the road from Woodstock, a revolution blossomed at a ramshackle summer camp for teenagers with disabilities, transforming their lives and igniting a landmark movement. Don’t judge this documentary from the first frame as it is life affirming and it will change your life forever, it ring true to me and I can connect with this as it is one of my personal favourites. It is a character study with a political view to it and it can be hard to watch in one scene but it doesn’t matter about that one little bit as it just a perfect documentary about with people with disability and it is worthwhile a watch.
