Review of Elemental (2023) by Drumjoy — 29 Jun 2023

Seems as though many reviewers don't actually have a vocabulary or the ability to think past generic criticism and the use of the word "woke." Was this Pixar's best movie? No. Not by a long shot.

Is the story one that has been told before? Sure. But to rate this movie a 0 for the sole reason of it being "woke" is to 1. be blatantly racist and 2. pay zero attention to any other factors that make a movie a movie.

If you were being more thoughtful, you might also ask, how was the animation? Stunning. Throughout the whole movie. What about the voice acting? Also pretty solid. Do I like all the choices made in the characters? No.

But there's a lot of room on the spectrum between 0 and 10. And just because it wasn't Pixar's best effort doesn't mean it doesn't have any redeeming qualities. So do yourself a favor and just ignore anyone who took the time to review this and simply give it a 0.

If anyone is being unimaginative and pushing an agenda, it's those people.
