Review of Lightyear (2022) by Ccateni — 17 Jun 2022

This is supposed to be the film Andy watched that the Buzz Lightyear toy was based on?

Yeah, I don't see it...

This film is a snoozefest. The animation is ok, but generic Pixar at this point. It wants to be a film like Ridley Scott's TheThis is supposed to be the film Andy watched that the Buzz Lightyear toy was based on?

This film is a snoozefest.

The animation is ok, but generic Pixar at this point. It wants to be a film like Ridley Scott's The Martian or Nolan's Interstellar, but it doesn't work with Lightyear. Similar to Dr.Strange 2, the tone is a mess. Going from serious in the first 1/2, to extremely goofy at times. The characters range from boring to unlikeable. Compare to the TV show, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, it had likable characters, a good balance between these two tones, and both actors who VA Buzz in that show do a great job. The film also misuses Imax. I noticed no big advantage that other films Top Gun Mavrick and JW: Dominion used extremely well.

Honestly, your better off skipping this cashgrab of a film and with the TV show, and I came in without expectations other than just wanting a good Pixar Film. At this point, why did I expect something better when this is the same studio that came out with Turning Red, a C grade Disney film under the Pixar name...
