Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (30 August 2015)

***SPOILER ALERT***
As always I had high expectations for this movie, since it's a Pixar movie. But for the first time ever, I was pretty disappointed. The movie is so predictable, and the characters lack any depth. Now I know they are made to very one-dimensional, since it fits the story, but usually, it's only one maybe two characters that lacks any depth. This time I think they were all pretty uninteresting.
Pixar is usually able to make a movie that has something for all age groups. Toystory for instance. If you watch it at 6, you are going to have a hole other experiences, if you watch it again at age 18 and again at 30 etc..
The main character is a young girl, and it revolves around her, and of course makes it hard to make any really good grown up jokes, since they have to be careful, because of her age. But the people in her head is a reflection of her, and since she is supposed to be a young girl, they are pretty one-sided too. But even the grown ups, "headpeople" are very one-dimensional and you don't really worry or care about any of them at any point.
It completely ruins the possibilities to write an immersive story, at least if you are above 18 years old, you'd probably have a hard time relating or at least find them a bit interesting. So if you are 18 and above, I don't think you'll like it. Will children like it than? Honestly no, I don't think so. I think the story is too complicated for really young children, but the visuals are nice as always, you just expect more, than a 1980s demo, from Pixar. The jokes are old and you see them coming from a mile away. Ofc the dad, thinks about sports at dinner table and pays no attention to the conversation, he would have too.
It's just like they picked the easy solution, every time in this movie and really didn't give it much thought. Maybe it's just Pixar that starts repeating themselves and it really shows in this movie, it was like I kinda had seen it all before in another Pixar movie.
