The Good Dinosaur | Peter Sohn | BR/DVD release 2-23-2016 | Pixar's first BO flop

Recommended Posts





I know it's far from getting panned on RT, but I have no idea how it is so far below at least a 7.5 average rating. That is just plain wrong. If WDAS made it I bet it would have Tangled/BH6/Frozen level reviews. But critics always expect Pixar to deliver something more "adult" which isn't really fair.

Yeah but it's expected at a family-oriented movie. I don't mind it too much when kids are making noise, and if they're too loud then hopefully parents will take them out (alternatively I notify a staff member and they deal with it).

 

Earliest showtime possible = smallest audience as possible, at least on a week day like Friday.

 

Also, old people can be really rubbish moviegoers in my experience. They talk and they make strange noises throughout the film.

Screaming kids would detract from any theater experience.

If I were watching something like Despicable Me or Ice Age I think they'd be a lot easier to shake off

This... times a million. I just got out of a showing and we had a family with four kids and a very much newborn baby sit right next to us, so we got up and moved, and again, got stuck this time by a couple with fucking twins. Thank god I am a fucking queer. I can't do that whole children shit, and I am glad I will never be the person subjecting people to my screaming sacks of shit...

 

Anyway, now that I have that off my chest, the movie was good, what I could hear over all the fucking children. Some very pixar like moments, and some that felt a little awkward to be honest. The movie was a tad bit too long, and I can understand where people say the story was lacking, but the visuals are everyting they have been made out to be, and it really was a mostly enjoyable film.

^ to anyone who has seen it, how does it compare to Big Hero 6?

BH6 is actually a pretty good comparison to it. Both have simple stories of the sweet and heart tugging nature, with two likable leads that create a well developed bond throughout the film. I'd say Arlo>Hiro, Baymax>Spot. I prefer TGD however, largely due to the world of the film and that stunning animation. TGD is more graceful in its narrative techniques too, whereas BH6 was a little too cliche in its execution I thought.
