Good Enough.
It's another time travel movie but it is animated. Jade told me that it's good.
This week is like animation week for me.
The movie is about a very smart, orphaned kid who was able to invent a memory recall device which he invented to know why he was left at the orphanage. After a science fair scene where he presented his invention, many other science fiction stuff like time travel and time-space continuum stuff were presented. What's nice is that these complex ideas were presented with flair and colors rather than with formulas and equations. So all in all, I think most kids who watch this will like the presentation of the ideas but won't have any idea about the science behind them.
It is based on a book, I forgot the title though.
Anyways, the plot was very easy to see through. Maybe because it's for kids and a simple plot is very apt. The thing is that it's annoying to watch a movie when you have seen through it after around 12 minutes of watching. Remind me not to watch movies made for kids anymore.
I remember another time travel movie which is very much similar to this movie. It's called The Time Machine! The difference between the two movies is violence and the "moral lesson". In this movie it's "keep moving forward", which sounds like a vehicle company's slogan. The Time Machine's "moral lesson" is something like you can't change the past, what you have to do is accept the past and live in the present.
The idea of building a time machine is absurd. I wonder why people even think of building ones. Yes, it is a great leap for man kind if one is created. And yes, there will be many benefits. But building one will ruin the very essence of life. I know that many people want to undo the mistakes that they have done but, really, isn't life about making mistakes and learning from them? (ha ha ha) If you are in power, for example the president of a country, and you know that doing corrupt things is a huge mistake, you still do them. But you do them because you want to learn, right? Maybe. That's life. (That statement didn't make any sense, where did it come from?)
Overall, I think Meet The Robinsons is a nice movie for kids. :D
