Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Clifton Johnson So this film has some heart. Which is good...because the animation is awful, the characters are inexplicably ripped from a 1950s sitcom, the story is directionless, and I kinda forgot animated movies could be this bad. Thank heavens for the Pixar merger because Disney was apparently REALLY flailing in 2007.

Sherrill777 The Bad: Plot Holes! Oh, wow, there are plot holes big enough to dive a Time Machine through. Now I'm usually pretty forgiving of this, especially for plots centering around time travel, but when I notice the problems during my first viewing of a movie and they are bad enough to throw me out of the immersive experience, then those plot holes are serious indeed. I won't spoil the movie by giving details, but I will say that you will need to work hard at not thinking too deeply into how the whole time travel stuff works for this one. Another problem is the second act of this film really drags. Our hero spends an inordinate amount of time being introduced to the ridiculous family. And it feels like the writers were trying too hard to make the family eccentric and in the end they hit a weird and unlikeable note. Finally, if you are looking for a Disney Musical – this isn't it. No one sings. Of course, for some people, that's a good thing!The Good:The theme of 'family' was good. The foreshadowing was excellent and made me want to re-watch this (you certainly won't catch every detail on the first run through). The villain(s) were creative and fun. The resolution felt satisfying. The art design was pretty good throughout the movie too – there were very distinct looks to the future, the 'bad future', and the tiny glimpse of the past. While not an exceptionally beautiful film, it doesn't have distractingly poor CGI either. The Mom View:I liked this enough to buy it, although I wouldn't necessarily suggest that for most people. I think this would be good for about an 8 year old or so. There's a short potentially scary scene, but likely on the most sensitive kids would actually get scared. There's also nothing objectionable, but the themes and convoluted time travel might confuse a younger kid. Having said that, a younger child might be more forgiving of the plot holes and enjoy the silly second act more. In my personal opinion, this would be a fun movie to talk about afterwards to see what your kids think of time travel (how it would work, what they'd do if they had a time machine, etc.). Overall, I'd say this is fun and worth seeing more than once, but it won't ever turn into a classic.

Hermione Granger After seeing this movie, the kids at first said, "Thanks, Mom. That was good." But after a little while, we discussed the movie and began to see the cheesiness and flaws in it.First of all, Disney shouldn't play with going to the future. The villain was real weak. I began to get a bit confused and wonder what was going on with Disney when, near the beginning of the movie, the bad guy laughed and hid behind a curtain. Not confused about the plot, more like confused about what Disney was doing with itself! We were lost with all the exaggerated expressions and silliness that didn't make us laugh. This takes place in the future, and it's a different, not-so-realistic type. A more reasonable future wouldn't have tubes you can travel through and a whole bunch of loops and strange buildings, but the type of setting and community in Big Hero 6, which is a hilarious and much better movie.The whole family is very weird, and there's a message about love between a weird family, which is good and makes me add one star, but the message would've been stronger if the plot hadn't been so odd and Disney hadn't messed around with the future. This is nowhere near a classic, and it is one of my least favorite movies.

jessicagale3 Young Lewis, the struggling scientist attempts to create his own memory scanner, in order to draw out the long-forgotten memories of the mother he no longer remembers. Now living in a state-run orphanage, Lewis begins the progress and after many attempts, fails his creation. Suddenly Wilbur, an odd boy who claims he's from the future whisks him up, and they journey to the forthcoming dimension. Once there, Lewis meets Wilbur eccentric and dysfunctional family, who attempt to make him release his true potential.I love this film to this day. I am not always the most objective viewer, I tend to see things from a child's perspective, and instead I miss any "goofs" that others will later inform me of. However, the best quality this film has to offer is it's sense of humor, it's so rich and vibrant yet quirky. While it does not feature a performance like David Spade's in The Emperor New Groove, its unparalleled in the sense that it's just all-out goofy. This sense of humor may not appeal to the (adult) masses, it does to children, and anyone who is a child at heart. Another wonderful element is the morals of working towards goals and dreams even when you the odds are against you. To me, it always felt kind of like Back to the Future meets Tomorrowland in a shockingly interesting way. The creative elements used to engineer this future world are magical and I myself wouldn't mind taken a trip there.
