Great visual, but very disappointing overall.

Rating: 5/10 (28 June 2018)

Like most Pixar movies, the visual is great. I didn't watch it 3D, but was still impressed. The story dragged and was predictable. It didn't quite make sense either.
-First 30 minutes explaining how family absolutely hates, hates, hates music. Even has fear of music.
-Main character can go into the dead world seen by the dead while alive. He is in the live world while being alive but can't be seen.
More than anything, when a conflict is based on the lack of communication, it makes for a waist of 1 1/2 of time. Had they just explained that Mr ______ was the family's _____. Mr _____ is related to the family and didn't return because Mr ____ did this terrible thing. The family won't give main character a blessing unless he promises ____, nothing else. He could be trapped in dead world forever and you won't give him a blessing to fix the issue.
It's great Disney/Pixar are creating movies around all cutler, but this is disappointing. So bizarre this movie has such a high rating. Perhaps a 9 or even 10 for visual. Everything else is below a 5.
