The reviewer expresses disappointment in recent Pixar films, claiming they have
fallen short of the studio's past excellence. The latest release, "Elemental,"
is criticized for its messy world-building, predictable story, and lack of
execution.
The film is set in a city where different social classes are represented by
natural elements, but the racial allegory is seen as problematic. The reviewer
finds the film under-developed and lacking in depth, despite its colorful
visuals.
The relationship between the main characters is highlighted as the film's
only redeeming quality, while the overall
storytelling is deemed unimaginative. Ultimately, "Elemental" fails to capture
the magic of previous Pixar classics and quickly fades from memory. |
