Lightyear (2022) Movie Thread

The first teaser trailer for Lightyear has dropped.

Barrel-scraping IP extraction from Disney after they already tarnished Toy Story with the unnecessary fourth film. The sad thing is, the likes of Luca and Soul go straight to Disney+ and this gets a cinematic release. I fully anticipate this to do really well, while their original title Seeing Red flops, leading to only Pixar's reboots/sequels/prequels getting cinematic releases.

Saw this earlier and it starts off really well, for the first half-hour or so it's a cracking film. But it just loses momentum after that and I found my attention drifting and by the end, I'd kind of checked out. It's a shame because like I said it starts off so well and there was real potential for something special here.

After the success of Top Gun Maverick I think Disney will need to reconsider their "Woke" approach, it is not working. People know instinctively when they're being lectured to and told what they should like and dislike and the expression "Go woke, go broke" has some validity to it.

Anyway, it is an Ok film all in all but it could've been a lot better.
