Lightyear
Just finished watching "Lightyear" released by Disney Pixar.
Now I will admit that when I first saw the trailer for "Lightyear" and discussed it with Jeff H. and Zack a little over a year ago, all three of had high hopes for this movie. Although this was not a movie that John Lassitier, the former head of Pixar's studio's would have green-lighted, it looked promising.
The first indication that "Lightyear" was going to be a dud was the replacement of Tim Allen who gave voice and life to Buzz Lightyear in the original Toy Story movies. Plus, Buzz Lightyear was just a children's toy, there wasn't a hint or any indication that he was based on a character from a movie that Andy saw. So to have the blurb at the beginning of "Lightyear" saying that this was the movie Andy saw that caused him to want a Buzz Lightyear action figure was a stupid attempt at an unwanted recon.
As for the much ballyhooed "lesbian kiss" scene - blink and you miss it. Curiously there has been no "outcry" over the two gay men in the movie who are in a couple's embrace. Blink and you miss that one too.
Lightyear just isn't an inspiring character in this movie. He becomes so fixated on correctly a mistake he made that he doesn't seem to realize that people did just fine without him. And when he finally realized the error of his ways, it's too late and there's no consequences. There is also a Frozen 2 reference in this movie near the end.
Oh yes, since Jeff H. and Zack are set to inherit a majority of my DVD collection when I head off into the next life - provided they fight over it, I hereby give them permission to sell this stinker of a movie on eBay.
Not recommended.
Zero Stars.
