Review of Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) by Akusurei — 19 Aug 2016
I had a chance to see and advance screening of this in 3D. My biggest issue with the movie wasn't the movie itself, but the poor quality of the theaters projection. The 3D is some of the best I have seen, but the picture presentation was murky as hell! This obviously isn't the movie's fault, my suggestion would be, "If you choose to see this in 3D, see it in a newer theater." This movie would make Kurasawa smile.
Pros + Fantastic use of 3D.
Amazing stop motion animation.
Likable characters.
Gets emotional at times.
I loved the Regina Spektor cover of "While my Guitar Gently Weeps".
Great voice talent.
Easy, Breezy, Story.
I love the amount of love that went into the making of this.
Fantastic end credits.
No annoying forgetful fish. Warning: This movie does contain fish.
Cons - Story is predictable, it's a fetch quest, Grab these items and proceed with caution to the next.
Location.
The surprise Kubo finds out about during his journey.
