Meet the Robinsons
is a good digital animation sci-fiction joy ride.
It's about a 12-year-old orphan boy who
has been working on a science fair project that will enable him
to retrieve old memories -- and get a glimpse of his mother --
who abandoned him as a baby.
This film has plenty to offer the grown-ups
-- and is way more intelligent than most cartoons.
I was pleased with the adventure, and the
message to get kids interested in science. |
As animation goes, this one is pretty cool
(whether you see it in 3-D or not).
It takes you to a not-too-distant future
that is nothing like you think -- full of weird characters, weird
ideas, and hundreds of hit-and-miss jokes (some that occasionally
work).
It's no Disney classic, but certainly better
than those princess movies they've been turning out in past years
-- enjoyable enough. |
I found this kid flick to be a mediocre
computer animated film.
Most of the characters lack feelings, and
a lot of the comedy seems to be from other sources.
There's so much going on in the movie that
the production team doesn't know when to take a break.
It's an out-of-control time travel story
set in the past, present, and future, and all happening or existing
at the same time.
I think the problem was too many screenwriters. |
