Movie Reviews of Treasure Planet
Movie Review: Treasure Planet: Not your ordinary sci-fi
Summary: 5 Stars
I went to the theaters to watch what I thought was going to be okay, but not as good as, say, The Lion King. Although it doesn't have the classic Disney feel, I would say Treasure Planet is my favorite movie ever.Treasure Planet, which I own on DVD, is a movie many people think of as sci-fi, at least those who haven't watched it. If they had, they would see this is no cheesy alien-attack video. Instead they would see a beautiful retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's masterpiece. This movie captured my heart.
Partially computer-generated, partially animated, Treasure Planet blew me away. Still true to the storyline of Treasure Island, it added humor and bits of story to the original tale, as well as blasting it off into space.
All in all, a very clever movie. I recommend you buy this and watch it as soon as possible. Hope to see you at the Montressor Spaceport!
Movie Review: Fun for young and old.
Summary: 5 Stars
Met my expectations. Visually spectacular. True to the original story while taking the necessary artistic license to fit the film format. Will not lose viewers with short attention spans. Characters were well developed given the time constraints. Enjoyed thoroughly by my five year old but probably best suited to older children. For those who care, several deaths were shown in the film (usually someone floating off or falling away) and there were several intimidating encounters between various pirates and young Jim- which would be expected. Being a fan of the action/sci-fi/fantasy genre I enjoyed the movie but those seeking drama, subtle character development and intricacy of plot should look elsewhere; this is a Disney Movie afterall and one that began as an (albeit classic) pirate story of rum, rusty sabers, old salts and lost treasure. All others, enjoy!Movie Review: A New Take on an Old Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm generally wary when Hollywood makes movies of any book, especially a classic, and so I was a little worried about "Treasure Planet," and yet it turned out to be one of my all-time favorite Disney movies! I can't figure out why it wasn't as big a hit as Disney hoped, because a movie like this definitely deserves it. It's a great family film full of adventure, and I just love the idea of setting "Treasure Island" in space! Who could have come up with such a fun idea but Disney? Silver is even a cyborg! How perfect! Voices, special effects, everything seemed to be spot-on, including the music (which also included a specially-written son by The Goo Goo Dolls just for this movie). I fell in love with "Treasure Planet" the first time I saw it and watch it all the time!Movie Review: Glad Disney Took A Chance
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not in the habit of reviewing movies, but I'm making an exception for this one because my kids love this movie, and it is my favorite Disney outing to date (though I also enjoyed Tron, Dinosaur, and almost anything from Pixar). This fast-paced, re-imagined version of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story is watchable for many reasons, but I enjoyed the great voice acting, the Brandywine School inspired backgrounds, and the interesting hybridization of futuristic elements with 18th century technology (I'm glad Disney didn't play it straight with this one).
BONUS: The most artful combined usage of traditional and CG animation to date!
Two pieces of music contributed by John Rzeznik of The Goo Goo Dolls make a great soundtrack greater.
Movie Review: So true to the story--a wonderful movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This could easily be my favorite Disney film of all time. I wanted to see this film from the trailers last year, but I was leary of Disney-fication. No worries. So touching, wonderful relationships, wonderful casting, tons of excitement, minimal sidekicks (and who can complain when the sidekick is Martin Short?), enough SFX to satisfy without taking over the story, just grand! Both my 5 and 10 year old boys LOVED IT! As did Mom. Don't pay any attention to the reviewers or box office results. Take your kids to this movie! It has some intense bits so don't bring them too young. My 5 year old has a stronger sensibility than most and we went to an afternoon showing just in case (no lingering images at bedtime...)It truly deserves its PG rating. Be warned.
