Review of The Good Dinosaur (2015) by Moviebuffreview — 26 Dec 2015
The Good Dinosaur may be perhaps one of the most frustrating viewing experiences I've had at any Pixar movie. On the one hand, it is one of the most technically impressive films the studio has done, with near photorealistic environments and incredible attention to detail in the characters.
Furthermore, the characters are all, for the most part, quite memorable, and there are moments of excellent visual storytelling that match the studio's typical high mark in quality. At the same time, The Good Dinosaur has almost as many frustrating moments, where the plot falls into cliches, where the storytelling becomes on the nose and rushed, and where the bad parts often times stand out more, unfortunately, because of the glimmers of brilliance throughout.
The Good Dinosaur still lives up to the name of being "good", but in a movie where it had the potential to be "excellent", I cannot say that I'm not slightly disappointed.
