Home (2015)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

An Exercise In Nonsense

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I cried this movie near the end. I love this movie so much! It's a perfect family movie for everyone! (Not if U don't like childish things) But in all seriousness, this movie was sad, (Ish), Funny, And a perfect child movie! 10/10. Recommend you see this movie!

DreamWorks Animations film 'Home' feels rushed and underdeveloped. Despite the delayed release, 'Home' barely holding a candle to the intended franchise potential of previous DreamWorks Spring releases such as 'The Croods' and "How to Train Your Dragon'. This is mainly due to the uninspired script, bland two-dimensional characters, and the overbearing use of Rihanna's 8 original soundtracks segueing almost every scene. The film attempts to project individual concerns and hardships onto a new and interesting alien protagonist, Oh, through his continued ostracisation and inability to make friends. However, from the start of the film every detail about Oh's personality and character traits are spelled out through the unnecessary insight given by his narration, removing any subtlety in the character and spoon-feeding the audience. While I understand that the film must cater to the younger target demographic, the studio's tactics of delivering information to the audience seem simplistic and uninspired as the film spells out literally every detail about the characters and events, consequently allowing the audience to guess exactly what will happen for the next 5 minutes of any scene. As if the cookie-cutter scaffold of the film isn't enough, the excessive use of upbeat and lyrical soundtracks during every scene makes almost any character emotions null and redundant, as their connection to each other is dependent on the soundtrack propelling the story and character development, rather than the motivations of the characters in relation to the over-arching plot. All in all, this movie is lazy, uninspired, and overly-dependent on Rihanna's 8 original soundtracks in order to market and shape the story.

Story: After a hive-minded alien race called the Boov conquer the Earth, they relocate the planet's human population -- all except for a little girl named Tip (Rihanna), who's managed to hide from the aliens. When Tip meets a fugitive Boov called Oh (Jim Parsons), there's mutual distrust. However, Oh is not like his comrades; he craves friendship and fun. As their distrust fades, the pair set out together to find Tip's mother, but, unbeknown to them, the Gorg -- enemies of the Boov - - are en route.My Opinion: 6/10 (Okay)Critics: Colorful, silly, and utterly benign, Home is a passable diversion, but there's no shortage of superior animated alternatives.I thought the film was okay, but there are far better family films.

This movie is OK. The plot is pretty strait forward: find Tip's mom. Its laid out pretty good but it sometimes doesn't make sense. The animation is good. Its voice actors are good. The writing is OK. I know what some of you will say "its because its animated" or " its just a kids movie." but that still doesn't count, there a lot of good animated/kids movies out there like Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, How to train your dragon 2, or The Incredibles. So don't say that about animated kids movies. But other than that, I'm sorry but thats really all I can say about this film, its just OK. I can't think of anything else but IMDb has a minimum of 10 lines of text in a review, so ya........
