This beast bucks the formulaic trend of the recent Disney movies

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2018)

Kudos to Brad for making the movie tight like a mission impossible adventure. There is a sense of danger, anticipation and then delivery of that promise, against a very believable villain, and with none of the weird generic formula that plagues recent films like "A Force Awakens" and "Star Trek Discovery" which really gets in the way of telling a good story. I don't know what it is, but those aforementioned films feel the same and I can't tell them apart and always feel like I watched an alternate universe rerun of the same thing. I truly believe that Pixar is on a good path with exception to Cars 3, and that is a small price to pay to keep the lights on!
