After a very looong pause, here I am with a new review.

Yesterday I finally was able to see Lightyear.

First of all, when I started watching it, I thought it was going to be such a waste of time. Basic space adventure with monsters or bad guys and a really predictable storyline. It ended surprising me for the good though. I even would rate it as one of the best animated films I've seen so far.

The music was okay and special effects were average for an animated movie in 2022. What really caught my attention were the memorable and yet relatable characters who starred the movie.

*The kiss scene was adorable. Fuck off homophobes 💖. *

ALERT SPOILERS AHEAD.

The thing that this movie wants to encourage us to do is, to accept the way things turned out and the way things are, instead of longing or yearning for "what could have been". Learning that sometimes not having things going your way is a blessing in disguise, which is a really valuable lesson for both children and adults. I really appreciate the complexity of the plots with which animated movies are made nowadays. Sometimes our enemies are not out there, but within us.

The characters (lesbian interracial couple, their child and their grandaughter, and two clumsy, inexperienced and average middle aged man and old woman plague the film with their puns, making it more entertaining, and their role in the film is to deconstruct the idea of allmighty powerful hero, showing us that together, we are stronger. All of them are really representantive of our society.

The reference to God's creation by Michelangelo is also a remarkable detail throughout the movie, representing the new paradigm of society.

Finally, Buzz choosing their average team instead of the proffessional army and being a space ranger was a little bit cheesy in my opinion, but it's acceptable.

The storyline is amazing and it's full of action and relentless dynamism, making it incredible attention-grabbing.

DEFINITELY WORTH-WATCHING.

8'5/10

Been inactive for long, but here 's a double rainbow I spotted last week while coming home after my first week of my last year of college (If I everything turns out as planned).

The previous years the flat and the roommates were better but I think I'll be over it.

Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom 

Pretty much better than the previous one. Most of the aspects, (setting, imagery, actors, outfits, plot, characters) were better.

But who could stay?

Aquaman 10/10

Better later than never, they say. This film is one of the best I've seen this year and I've seen a lot.

First of all the plot is great. It has action, adventure, romance, and a strong moral message of "joining the two worlds". It has moments of action and it has moments of sweetness. I could say I appreciate GoT influence in the "King and rightful heir" thing. I love the back history of Atlantis.

The cast, Jason Momoa and Nicole Kidman was great as well. Good to see more non-white representations on screen.

The locations were beautiful, specially in Venice and the ancient temples.

The CGI and the special effects were ashtonishing. I really loved they different kind of "underwater people" they created and I would remark the scene of breaking the wines running away from the enemy or when they get into the shipwreck. The outfits were absolutely gorgeous.

It lasted three hours and I couldn't get my eyes off the screen. Definitely was way beyond my expections. I would watch it again and I would recommend it to everyone.

Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark 7/10

I quite enjoyed the film. The visual effects are good. The cast is well chosen as well. Many funny scenes, specially while trying to escape once they are in El Cairo.

A little bit racist when regarding other cultures, if we judge it from the perspective of 2019. Very "American".
