Amazing Sequel

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 2018)

Wow. A sequel to Finding Nemo. When I first heard of this movie, I was very skeptical of its ability to be entertaining. For one, Finding Nemo is one of Pixar's best films. Everything from the visuals, to the story, to the ambient music was top notch creative design. To feel the emotions that this film is meant to evoke, you will have had to watch Finding Nemo, as it contains many aspects of Dory's younger self in an ambiguous form. Lots of moments in this movie make you think back to the first and say to yourself, "ohhh that's why...". There are lots of small points of humor that can be missed if one is not really paying attention, although most of them are quite obvious. The plot is amazingly fluid, at no point do you ever feel a pause or break in the story. One of those movies that it is hard to add commercials to if aired on TV. This is reflective of Dory's character in that she just keeps "swimming". Every obstacle she faces is taken in perfect stride, just as every scene in the movie flows from one to the next. And the music is so perfectly fit to the situations and story; it creates a real feeling of immersion that you can only really enjoy if you let the film play in front of you, instead of picking it apart as you watch. If anyone hasn't seen either movie, please watch both in order, feel the story as it happens, don't sit outside of it.
