Disappointed

Rating: 4/10 (25 February 2017)

I thought Finding Dory was a letdown. After the first Nemo movie and Wall-E, only a masterpiece of the same magnitude would have satisfied. The story of this movie is that Dory, the beloved character from Finding Nemo, makes her way to an aquarium to find her parents. Most of the movie consists of her making her way through the facility trying to track down where she came from. There are a lot of scenes of her being carried in a pail, swimming through pipes, and moving through nice looking scenery. I just wasn't moved by any of it. When the movie arrives at its climax, I felt no emotional payoff. There was also an action sequence near the end that drained any interest I had of not only finishing the movie, but of visiting these characters again. This movie was just a series of empty obstacles with no reason for viewers to care.
