Review of Cars 3 (2017) by Jason H — 10 Sep 2017
"Cars 3" returns to its roots, and expands on its world without jumping the shark. The story and its beats are predictable, but it's the character focused parts of the film that keep it interesting since most of the film spends too much time referencing the first, as well as flashing back to moments that happened minutes ago, and it gets repetitive.
The first half was the roughest to get into since it rushes exposition in order to get to Lightning's crash scene, which ends up not being that big of a deal anyways so it just makes the film longer than it had to be.
What saves the film though was the 2nd half, where we finally get to slow down, and take in the story. If you enjoyed the first film, you'll find some comfort here. It's still one of the weaker PIXAR films to date, but it's not bad either as it eventually provides some new ideas to make it worth your time, and I appreciated it for being practical.
