Monsters are cool

Today I will be kicking off my week of reviews. It has been a while since I reviewed new movies, so get ready to feast on some movie articles.

I will be sharing new review everyday to get you ready to go out to the cinema this weekend. Abominable will be our first movie of the week. The animation is one of those movies you will never forget. It can easily be compared to Toy Story, Shrek, Despicable Me and Madagascar.

I love animation and this movie just proves why an animated movie can be so much better than a live-action film. In a year of remakes and sequels, this film stands out as one of the few good original stories Hollywood could tell.

The movie quickly won over my heart and made me fall in love with the characters. I do not want to give away to much of the plot, but if you love animation this one is for you. Lead actress, Chloe Bennet, is not exactly a household name, but she nailed it in this role.

The voice acting, the story, the plot points, the writing, the animation and the direction is totally awesome. It really entertains from the start to the finish. Unfortunately no movie is without its flaws, Abominable has a few, but you can easily overlook them.

As far as I am concerned this is one of the best movies of the year, probably not top-5, but definitely good enough for a re-watch. Abominable has heart, it has soul, it has drama, it has comedy – things a lot of movies need these days.

After discovering a Yeti on the roof of her apartment building, teenage Yi and her two friends embark on an epic quest to reunite the magical creature with his family. But to do so, they must stay one step ahead of a wealthy financier and a determined zoologist who want to capture the beast for their own gain.

My Verdict

Abominable is worth every penny. So whether you are an adult, a child or a moody teenager, there is something for everyone in this film. As a said before, I would not mind watching this movie for a second or third time. So go get your tickets at Ster-Kinekor today and get ready to fall in love with a great story and a few amazing characters.

My Rating: 8.2 out of 10 – Love it!
