Title: CARS - Pretty decent flick
Post by: Brad Johnson on June 14, 2006, 09:55:32 AM
Did a quick search and didn't see that anyone had posted on Pixar's 'Cars'. Figured I might as well be the first.
Pretty decent flick. Good story, GREAT visuals, kickin' soundtrack. Pretty much standard Pixar fare - not-so-bad but emotionally lacking soul goes through great turmoil amidst a throng of everyday-but-lifewise folks and ends up finding "The Truth". Won't go into more detail than that or it might spoil some of the finer plot points.
Kids will love the colors, action, and noise. Adults will get the warm fuzzies from the story and characters. Racing fans will enjoy all the little inside jokes and racing celebrity references. Be sure and hang around through the credits for all the little extra bits.
Go see it if you get the chance.

It's got one hell of a mountain to climb to beat the Incredibles as far as I'm concerned.

I found it more purely entertaining than the Incredibles ( a matter of fine degrees, I assure you) but not quite as strong in the message department.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but the "King" bit cracked me up just reading about it. I look forward to seeing it.

I saw the trailers for it and thought, "Wow, a CG version of Doc Hollywood." Then I saw the reviews that said, "Wow, a CG version of Doc Hollywood."
Unless there's something about it that sets it apart, I'll likely wait for Netflix.

My wife and boys went to see it this past weekend and it is still the talk of the dinner table. Especially, dad we need to buy it on DVD. Between the 3 of them it got 6 thumbs up.
