Went to the 9pm viewing this evening, on opening day.
Well..... how do I sum up a movie series that has been so close-to-heart for almost 15 years? From the begining, I was in a mix of both sheer joy, but also a tang of sadness from knowing it was the end. It felt like I was walking the road with them, to an unknown destination....
But from the very start, it didn't disappoint.
It was exciting, witty, hillarious and just wonderful to watch.
Somehow, they managed to balance keeping it faithful to the first two films, while also introducing great new charactersand locations. Every frame, every sound, music note and word was immensly well done.
There were a lot of times where the tears flowed, not least at the end.
But the joy of seeing them re-united, as they were at the end of TS2, was beautiful.
I know that they will be happy together, and that was exactly what I wanted to see.
So... how to rate this? .... well, as some newspapers put it, this is not a perfect film, no film can achieve perfection. Not Avatar, not even WALL-E.
But... it made me feel joyeous and inspired, and that really is the goal for a film.
And what Pixar has always strove to do, from day one. It's about how it makes you feel, above everything else.
And for that,
10/10
Thank you Pixar, thank you so much!
