Killed it!

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2017)

It was an excellent movie with an excellent soundtrack, it pretty much had an excellent everything. Moana really doesn't disappoint it has a good pacing, an amazing cast, and it is outstanding. that sentence alone could summarise this entire review, but hey that's rather stingy for something I thought was brilliant. Moana is a story that takes place in Ancient Polynesia, when a curse reaches the island Mata Nui a chiefs daughter (Moana) is determined to venture beyond the reef, to find a demigod named Maui in order to stop the curse. Like most Disney movies this is a coming of age story as Moana is being pulled in two separate directions in one she is to become the next Chief of the village however she is struggling to love her people and make them the priority in her life while also being pulled in the direction of her beloved ocean that chose her as a child. Moana is joined by a demigod named Maui. He starts out as a very self loving and humorous character but we quickly learn why and see him change for the better. The classical three-act-structure that is the main convention in every film possibly ever made. Moana has a great beginning, good middle, and a great ending. The cinematography was beautiful it really shows that the creators have done their research as the island was point perfect of every detail, this just creates a whole new experience for the audience as we are not having to imagine what it actually looks like we are able to see exactly what it looks like right in front of us.
