Review of Finding Dory (2016) by Masamuneriku — 16 Jun 2016

Finding Dory has its amusing and funny moments however the overarching story fails to deliver - especially for a pixar movie.

The biggest issue that I have with this movie is that it is almost solely fueled by 'deus ex machina' moments. It prioritizes luck over problem-solving which ends up as weak storytelling. Also the appearance of Marlin and Nemo felt unnecessary as they only minimally contribute to the progression of the story while taking quite a bit of screen time.

Overall a passable movie but without the depth that I expect from pixar.
