The Wild Robot Movie Review
I didn't think I would ever see this movie but... here we are.
When I first saw the trailer, ( Which was almost the second it came out because I am way too much of a movie nerd ) I thought it looked really cool but................. depressing:
Then after the 600th time the trailer aired on TV, I finally said: "Okay, this looks dumb."
...and then I ended up watching it the next week.
I liked the overall movie, but I have a lot of picky, movie critic things I have to say about it:
- The little gosling Brightbill's training seemed like it was rushed over.
- The ending was very abrupt and could have much better
- Sound effects were lame
- Bad messages
Brightbill's training was rushed over- If you watched the trailer, you probably thought ( Like me ) the entire movie was going to be about a robot who teaches a newborn gosling how to live a good life... but then you sit down and watch it and find out that his training only takes up 6 minutes of the film. It's like the gosling ate a couple of worms and then grew 15 years older. It just seemed like lazy writing because I think we needed to see more of his training. It could have added a lot more to the plot.
Abrupt ending- ( SPOILERS AHEAD IN NEXT FEW SENTENCES 😂 ) At the end of the movie when Roz leaves the forest and goes to the plants lab ( Or whatever that was ) Brightbill randomly pops out of a bush... WHAT!? The ending was just so CHEESY. I don't think Roz and Brightbill should have ended up with each other in the end. It kind of ruined the whole point of Roz leaving in the first place. The film should have ended with her watching a flock of goslings fly off into the sky............ and then the credits started to roll. We didn't need them to reunite. If it had ended the way I said it should have, it would have left room for the audience to dream up what happens next instead of it all just HAPPENING in the last 10 seconds. ( None of that probably made any sense at all )
Sound effects were lame- I know this is gonna sound SUPER picky but it felt like the sound effects were really bad. Here's some examples:
- When one of those bad robots with the lasers spun his sword around really fast, it wasn't making any noise
- When the otters at the beginning jumped into the water, it sounded like a teeny tiny drip instead of a big SPLASH
- When the raccoons were climbing up Roz, they weren't making almost ANY noise
...you get the point.
Am I being too picky about this? Comment below! 😂
Bad messages- "fOlloW yOuR hEArT".................... no. Just........... stop......... please...
I liked this movie a lot. ( Besides those 4 things I noted ) I really would want to see it for a second time and I do recommend it to anyone who... likes... movies...............................
Or just anyone.
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed!
