SUPER FLOP

Rating: 5/10 (21 February 2020)

In all fairness this should be disclosed upfront i.e. its a kiddie movie. But then, it introduces other elements that enter in to the sci-fi fields and you have to ask yourself what does this movie want to be a kid or an adult? I am surprised to see this in the movie-making of today leading me to believe there are favors, secret agendas or tax write-offs behind the scenes for the reasons of this movie. Hollywood tried combining Cowboys and Aliens awhile back that not only flopped but confused the audience. Is this a cowboy movie or an outer space one? Something similar is going on here. Movies are made to target certain audiences. They can be broad in that targeting so as to capture a diverse audience of viewers therefore making more money or be of a specific genre and go with that success. Think: Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Aliens all standing on a specific subject. This movie doesn't hit what it is aiming for whatever that is. Furthermore, I have a dislike for movie-making that presents children or kids talking and acting like adults to serve as entertainment. It can work if innocence is presented accurately but then the movie plot would not be driven effectively unless we are doing a Shirley Temple movie or Lassie come home or any of the early Disney cinema. I walk away with this. Sometimes the rich and powerful do and say things because they can but that doesn't mean its good or real. Many a plot for flops have come from the friends, relatives and families of Hollywood moguls who say lets do that knowing it can be a write-off if it flops and memorable to those that had fun. Nelson Mandela movie was made to please the Mandela clan not movie goers as an example. If you are a kid and want to have your inner kid come out and movie watch go at it. Adults be prepared to yawn and fidget
