Turning Red (2022)
Had the potential to be better
Which teenager does not have the fear of disappointing their parents and try to juggle between the who they are and who their parents want them to be. Throw in the twister of a mystical red panda and you have got yourself a good story to narrate to which every teenager to young adult and some mature adults can connect to.
But the story is not enough when you make a movie and that is where it went wrong. The teams involved would have worked hard to create the content but it felt like the impact of the movie fell flat. When watching, I felt like the movie kept jumping from one topic to another and somehow connected them together to form a story. There were many aspects that were introduced but never used to their potential.
The movie had the idea to capture the interest of the audience but couldn't maintain it till the end.
Fireheart (2022)
Good Animation for Kids
Set in older days when women were not considered fit to work in the outside world because the jobs were too dangerous for them the movie tells the story of a young girl who has her heart set on being a fire fighter.
The animation and the cast of the movie is good. For me the climax and the story fell a little flat. I felt that the important aspects of the characters were not highlighted when it would have provided more strength to their characters. Overall, it might not be fun for adults and young teenagers but children would definitely enjoy a good time watching it.
Luck (2022)
Bad Luck is a Myth
What happens when you seems to have all the bad luck in the world. The movie luck recently released by #SkydanceAnimation has going on the journey of finding that luck when you seem to attract bad luck all the time.
The story revolves around an orphan who seems to be the epitome of an unlucky person and tries to find a little bit of luck in life. Why? For what reasons and for whom she is desperate for that luck is what you will find out on seeing it.
The movie has a very easy pace to go with a lot of turns and twists. At least twice I felt that the happy ending is approaching when the movie brought a new turn. The fun fact, it did not made me think that the director's were just dragging the movie. I enjoyed watching it, the cast and characters were good. It strived to break a lot of stereotypes around bad luck be it be via the meaning behind the stories or subtle hints in character dialogues.
I would rate the movie 8/10 since the topic is not something new but it is definitely worth a watch. Good luck!
