Disney and Pixar really raised the bar for animated movies. Over the years they have very consistent in delivering original stories, great CGI pictures and music scores that are soothing to ears. The likes of Zootopia, Coco, Encanto, Soul are testaments to amazing feat they have achieved so far in the animation genre.

I expected Elemental to follow the path of it predecessors. The animation style, color and concept, were mesmerizing, it keeps you transfixed and captivated on the screen.

The music scores like always were rhythmic, melodious and pleasing to the ears.

They got everything but the story right. It was very unoriginal and cliche. The story stenchs of mediocrity, something we've seen numerous times. In light of that, and their track records and success on previous animated movies, it was really a disappointment. They could have come up with something unique, something different, something better. They are Disney and Pixar for fvck sake and not some indie studio.

Call me an arm chair critic all you like, but that right there is the unclothed truth.
It's not surprising, they're unwilling to changeπŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ because they've made enough money from it, so they don't want to take risks

I disagree with you. The story is unique because something impossible in reality worked because of the power of love 😍. I loved Elemental because of the plot twist and unique characters. You may disagree with me but I'm sticking to my pov.
The story wasn't unique in any sense, the elements stuff was just to clothe the unoriginal plot and what plot twist is that? I knew the ending even from the trailer. The rewatchability is mostly due to the beautiful colours and not unique but cliche love story

Well we are all entitled to our opinions. No matter how you try to deny it, the fact still remains that the core of the plot is cliche, in fact, if I'm chanced enough, I'd drop a Nollywood movie with similar or identical plot.

The elements symbolism to speak could also be represented with: social class, tribe, race, ethnicity, diversity.
An Igbo man and a Yoruba lady falling head over heels with each other and family, society being against the union thanks to tribalism and ethnicity. At the end of the day, the power of love conquers all.

Yes the characters were unique and diverse.

Plot twist?? for me, i don't know. The plot seemed pretty straightforward to me. Half way through the movie and you already know how it's going to end.

Well let's agree to disagree. You probably saw something out of the ordinary in the movie hence your opinion. For me, it was nothing new, unique or something I haven't seen before.

The Invitation.

Not a bad movie. Love the pacing, the acting, the dialogue but a lil bit disappointed cos there is little nudity. 😁

Anyhow, the movie isn't that bad.

No Hard Feelings 7.5/10

Nice comedy movie to watch, I downloaded it bcus of Jennifer Lawrence and I wasn't disappointed, they is a beach scene she went full nude still trying to figure out if it's body double or real cheesy

Now I actually wish we could have a real Zombie apocalypse in Nigeria.
Rule number 1; avoid any communities.

No.she didn't use a body double, it was all real, full frontal bush and lemons πŸ‹. She bagged a whopping $25m for the role.

If it so happens and with the level of hunger in the land and considering how aggressive zombies are, nobody would survive. Na person way chop belly full day get strength to run or fight. When they get to you, just willingly submit yourself for bitingπŸ˜„, no need fighting or stressing yourself.

For me, i rather kill myself than turn to a zombie or a survivor and wander about aimlessly, fighting off both zombie and fellow survivors, running like a bull on heat when being chased by hordes of zombies and eventually starving to death. Infact it's a dream i wouldn't like to have talk more of experience it.

Eventually, we'd all be zombies and after few years, we'd all die of hunger because there'd be no one to feed on.

There is a sure way to know those who are loved at home offline..... Nobody with love in his/her life will wake up, look at his loved ones then come to Obasanjo's internet to say he wishes there is a zombie apocalypse in his area of residence and looking forward to be separated from his loved ones.




Therapy should be fully integrated into our lives in this country... We have a lot of disturbed persons roaming around undetected.

There will be survivors scattered throughout. The population that needs actual food to survive will dwindle rapidly creating more food for survivors. The wise and careful ones that have experience from watching dozens of zombie flicks will definitely survive.
I'm one of those people.

I'm not talking about WWZ zombies oh abeg or that Zack Snyder's Iteration with Batista (army of the dead) grin

Abeg no even reason the Zombie matter jare, as is its, people are going through hell already. In fact what a whole lot of Nigerians are going through now is worse than a Zombie apocalypse.

A lot of folks eat once in a day now or sometimes nothing a day, trek long distance before they get to their destination. People commit suicide on a daily basis because of untold hardship, those who are managing to survive are either used as target practice by unknown gun men, bandits and herdsmen. This and many more are the untold hardship and the sad reality of things in this country presently. What we are presently experiencing in the country is the real life aftermath of an actual zombie apocalypse.

Extraction 2

I want to rant becos its paining me. Why will tyler go and extract somebody's wife and kids when they are apparently not in danger? Its makes absolutely no sense. Its a family matter. The man is protecting his family and you threw caution to the wind to go on a useless mission becos of money barely nine months out of coma. Not like the victims need saving. The son was even asking for his dad. I cant wrap around this becos I thought the storyline was solid. This right here is an unnecessary mission and sham of a thriller. Its like the hero caused a war and i'm supporting the villain. This is nonsense

tell me you didn't understand the movie without saying it...

Tyler didn't do it for money. It was a favour to his ex I believe... (Can't really remember)

The man was abusing his wife and even his son knew it but turned a blind eye...

He kept his family locked up and trapped in prison with him in the name of protecting them from his enemies...
That's not the life they want to live...imagine being stuck in a prison because of a man when they should be walking free...

If they stayed with him, it was only a matter of time before he either killed them or caused their death or his enemies killed them...

The extraction was necessary...
His wife wanted a better future for her children instead of becoming criminals/warlords like their father till death

Weekend Watch List

- When Marnie Was There (2014)

One of the few Ghibli titles that don't have Miyazaki or Takahata involved. Interested in seeing how well Ghibli delivers without these 2 juggernauts.

- Elemental (2023)

Mid Pixar is still Pixar. And the audience reception promises a fun time, at least.
