Worth the Trip

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2019)

This postmodern technology might be the harbinger of death for movies ... and by that, I mean "user reviews." With the multiples of millions of dollars to be made on tentpole films, armies of trolls are to be expected.
Here's a spoiler-free review that will set your head right for this film:
1. Is it an MCU film? Absolutely. The de-aging CGI used on Fury and Colson are flawless, and most importantly, you forget you're seeing a special effect, after a few moments. Which is precisely the point of special effects, to help tell a story. Brie Larson is up to the task, portraying Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel within the complicated universe with gravitas and panache.
2. Is it a "feminist" film? Who cares what the Incels spout - to me (as a guy) it was a feminist film the right way - we see an accomplished woman (Air Force pilot) on her journey to become an accomplished Hero of the MCU. I can't recall a single time in the movie they even referred to her gender. Why would there be any backlash?
3. The cat is a star.
4. It was ideal escapist entertainment - we went to the theater, saw a movie that gave us our money's worth, saw a real story with real development, and she got to zap spaceships with photon blasts from her hands. What's not to love?
