Review of Luca

Luca (2021)
7/10
nice and heartwarming but really nothing special
16 July 2021
Luca is a new Pixar film which for some reason is being labeled as a Disney + original even though it's a Pixar film. This movie is pretty par for the course among Pixar films recently. It's going to make you laugh it's going to make you cry and you will have a decently enjoyable experience.

I actually didn't have very high expectations because I had kind of heard that it was kind of a mediocre Pixar film but I surprisingly liked it quite a bit. The animation is great (though saying a Pixar movie has good animation is like saying water is wet at this point) though I couldn't help but notice that the fish look less realistic in this then in Finding Nemo. I mean Finding Nemo came out almost 20 years ago why do the fish look less realistic.

This movie was actually pretty funny. Legitimately one of the funnier Pixar movies I have seen. Or maybe I just like that the cat is literally named Machiavelli. The story is good. It is obviously heartwarming and I enjoyed the story. I mean I was basically never surprised throughout the entire film it followed all of the story beats that you would expect. But it was still decently enjoyable. One thing that helps this story is that it is fairly high concept. Pixar is really good at doing high concept stories and I feel like they haven't done as much of that in recent years. So in that way this movie's story was refreshing.

While this movie is pretty predictable and isn't really anything special it is still a fun movie that will have you entertained throughout.

7.5/10.
