How do you go from making a masterpiece like Inside Out to such a bland, "safe", and predictable film as The Good Dinosaur?
Now, here me out Pixar fanboys. I don't think the film is terrible. The backgrounds are some of the best I've ever seen. It really submerges you into its world. Some of the designs of the animals are realistic and cool looking. The score is phenomenal, even rivaling Inside Out's.
But the praise stops there. The main problem I have with the film is that it's SO DANG LAZY!!!! It is literally Big Hero 6 crossed with Finding Nemo. You can predict the plot within the first few minutes of the movie. It's the same "boy and his dog try to find their at home" story we've seen millions, no, billions of times. C'mon, Pixar (and movie industry in general)! Can't we just move on from this freaking story?
The characters are no more than two dimensional and very forgettable. They don't portray any emotion. Oh the irony, Pixar.
The humor is either non-existent or to kiddy like. There isn't anything really to engage anyone older than let's say, 9 years old.
The designs of the dinosaurs are atrocious. I tired of the gummy, overly cartoony look. Give them some feathers already! Even the 2000 movie DINOSAUR did the designs better!
To sum up, it's for the most part a visual treat, but not story-wise. This is strictly a kids film or a 3D nut's film.
