Animal Kingdom: Let's Go Ape

Animal Kingdom makes you laugh , it makes you cry. It makes you sing and dance. Fun for all the family. My wife and children adored it. You'll find many of the characters are extremely sigma and relatable. The film touches on many topics including evolution, grief and tornados. Sadly no monkey sex here, but it definitely alludes to the love interest having a big dinner, if you know what I mean 😉. Already watched it twice, so many hidden details in the dialogue. Hoping the next installment in the universe is as much of a treat as this. I have a feeling the Animal Kingdom Lore goes deeper than we thought! Finally , the animation was magnificent.

The movie lighting, background visual is very good, but the story/plot is very confusing and doesn't seem to have much of explained and the character design is very ugly and creepy and it fell into uncanny valley, but at least the character is very funny especially edward and his adoptive dad

Literally the worst movie I have ever seen and will ever see. I don't know what possessed me to watch the whole thing, perhaps the fact I was stunned by such an atrocity, how it was even possible to create an injustice such as this.

The characters, CGI and voice acting are abysmal, the story nonsensical. Actually, describing the story as non-existent would be more accurate.

Every scene makes me shake my head in bemusement, confused and afraid of this abomination. I would go as far as to say this qualifies as the eighth deadly sin. My eyes, brain and body feel violated having watched it. Frankly, it's a crime against humanity that this was ever released.

There is obviously a lot of passion in the ratings for this movie, it's mostly either 1 or 10 stars. I didn't have any expectations for the movie, so I was happily surprised. I watched the original French version, and I can well understand that people who don't know or like the two generations of French comedians Jamel Debbouze and Louis de Funès didn't get into the movie, especially Jamel, with his fast French-Moroccan accent from the suburbs. But I found both totally suitable to the characters and Jamel absolutely terrific. Actually, all of the characters' voices were excellent, there was a lot of work choosing the right voices, accents and tonality for these characters, in addition to the funny dialog. A great family comedy, kids will easily follow the simple plot, although kids and people not familiar with French culture will not benefit from all the hidden humor like some references. There is a bit of the Croods' theme, a tribe leaving its safe haven for the Unknown, and quite a few other borrowings from it, but the whole story is still very different. The almost human faces were a bit upsetting to me, almost too realistic. ;) Definitely a reference animation I will probably watch a few more times, one star less than The Croods I already watched at least 5 times, in English and in French. And there's not that many French full feature animation movies either.

Obviously it's a Jamel Debouzze Debouzze Debouzze business. If you are not familiar with or not into Jamel Debouzze stuffs and his comic multi-french team you will probably find yourself lost in Debouzze's logic which is Debouzze's way of acting.

The story in 1h36 is about an instantaneous evolution simian-homo erectus which coexists with pterodactyls, the use of fire, music, dynasties...they don't respect how events occurs on the time line...which is not a bad thing if you have not yet had enough of Jamel Debouzze because you may like the way they get through it. You will definitely be disappointed if you try to compare this to, let's say "The Croods"

Watch with kids if you have time
