wow! My parents took my kids to see this movie so I did not see it. But it's really getting panned. The problems seem to be:
So yeah, the question from the title. Can Pixar turn this around? Do they have too many considerations and voices in the room?
- Doesn't use the rule of thirds, the composition is usually in the center. Not sure if the world of Tiktok and phone sharing and clips has something to do with this
- The alien designs are uninteresting, they don't make sense from a functional point of view and the silhouettes are bad...maybe they were too focused on toy design?
- Bean design, bean mouths which are easier to rig I guess and perhaps lazy
- Exposition dumps
- Nothing unique about the kid Elio as in a year from now you'll remember who he is or what makes him unique
- Yet another movie about a kid who feels like he doesn't fit in, a "kids" movie versus an "all ages" movie
- Theater experience is expensive and parents want to just catch it on Disney plus
- Possible re-works and inexperienced people at the helm
- If you showed this to someone seven years ago they would likely not guess this is Pixar
