Lightyear (Angus MacLane, June 17, 2022) Movie • Page 7

In junior high school, my favorite pen died and ran out of ink. I buried it in the sandbox in our backyard. So I get it. Haha

 

Thought this was alright! Kiss is def there.

 

All I cared about was how cool it was they had a bit about time dilation, which reminded directly of Interstellar. Don’t get though how they didn’t plan for it in the first place

 

as someone who recently retired their (second) iPhone 7, i feel his pain.

 

now on D+

 

Even my kids are like “nah no thanks”

 

It was pretty fun

 

Bunch of dorks.

Sorry, I shouldn’t be harsh to children. Bunch of ummm silly billies.

 

i'm watching it now with an open mind. Pretty entertaining so far.

I can definitely see the disconnect this had though. If they would have made a sci-fi adventure that's a tribute to late 20th century popcorn films and aims to inspire kids to enter STEM that's its own IP unconnected to anything else it could have worked.

 

the setup for this makes 0 sense. if they already had a crystal and were traveling at hyper speed on their original mission, how did they not know about time dilation?

so many other questions, but the main bulk of the story was pretty good.

 

Yeah that was the first thing that threw me off first - how would they not know time dilation would affect them?

 

the only thing that bothered me was the idea that everyone wouldn't know the Zurg reveal decades later and they would still be able to sell toys around it, the Darth Vader reveal is a big enough cultural milestone that Homer reveals it on the Simpsons

 

wow this was extremely boring.

 

I know you are but what am I

 

I really liked this! A good sci-fi adventure, had no business being tied to Toy Story though, very weird decision. Would have been much more suitable being a D+ only premiere in its current form, that spins off into an episodic series of their adventures afterwards

 

Watched it in pieces with my daughter over the last few days. It seems fine. Feels pretty melodramatic, and the time dilation stuff seems to be an obvious plot device for a space movie at this point.

 

Honestly thought this was kinda a mess

- For starters, the entire premise of this being *the* lightyear film that got Andy into Buzz Lightyear... I don't buy it. It didn't feel like a film plucked out of the 90s. Kinda shot themselves in the foot with that premise, as if you view it as a modern reboot of the buzz lightyear story I guess it... maybe works?

- Except it really also doesn't. Star Command turning on Buzz and taking away the cat makes no sense. There would've been far more room for conversation there. The timeline splitting stuff doesn't really make any sense. (Time dilation is an actual thing that sure you can take liberties with to make the story work but turning it into time travel...). "Zurgs" motivations... maybe kinda make sense for the movie but don't make sense for Zurg as a long term villain. The overall plot felt rather predictable, and it honestly wasn't that funny

Was definitely room to do make a lightyear film that worked. Would've been a challenge to nail that "Make a modern movie that feels like its plucked from the 90s" vibe... but honestly feels like they didn't even try.

 

My kids and I finally watched it. It was not great!

 

My daughter literally said it was fine after her first watch. Harsh criticism from a girl who loves Mulan 2

 

It’s definitely bottom tier Pixar
