movie review - Planes

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.12.14

This is a Pixar movie, but you can scarcely recognize the genius behind "Toy Story" and "Finding Nemo" in this abysmal straight-to-DVD release that incredibly somehow makes "Cars" look good. And "Cars" is not a good movie. With OK animation but a stiff and puerile plot that most children would find dull and uninteresting, we're expected to invest ourselves in the bid by one dis-interesting, two-dimensional plane in its bid to win a race because reasons. This is as lazy a cash-grab as has ever been produced by Hollywood, on par with let's see what the hell they made five sequels to "Highlander", wow, well here we are.

Not recommended. Terrible.
