Pushes the emotional buttons that rivet the audience to self-reflection

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2019)

Incredibles 2 (2018). Yes, this Disney Pixar production broke the box office record for animated feature, amassing $180 millions its first weekend out. As expected, this full feature animated film contains the emotional buttons that rivet the audience to self-reflection on issues of parenting, self-determination, responsibility, adolescent relationships, family, ostracization, and technological manipulation. The humor is well placed and potent. The 3-D animation substantially enhances the visual experience, unlike most real live action films in which the technology still hasn't quite caught up with reality. While the movie's plot is potentially predictable for an astute, careful observe, it actually serves to reduce the negative angst of the movie to promote the summer entertainment quotient of the movie in a most successful way. The only two weaknesses that seem to arise occur earlier in the movie with the sustained action pack opening sequence while engaging its audience veers the movie more towards a series of action montages that resemble more action thriller block blusters and there's an over-extended scene reminiscent of chipmunks and acorns from Ice Age.
