I didn’t mind the message behind this movie, but the movie as a whole it was just ‘eh’. I know I’ll never watch it again, and I’m not sure I’d recommend it to anyone. Just to be clear, I’m not saying it was a horrible movie, it just wasn’t repeat-worthy. There was zero entertainment value and I’m glad I didn’t pay money to see this movie.
I didn’t laugh, chuckle, or even snicker during any point of this movie. It was basically one-tone throughout the entire movie. And to some extent I was waiting for something to happen, but on the other hand, it was very predictable and you knew what was going to happen.
It seemed as if the voiceover actors were trying to be that character and it just didn’t work. I felt they were trying to change their voices a bit, or emphasize it from time to time. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it seemed forced and not natural. For the most part, I find that when there’s a big name behind the voice, the majority of the time, it’s never that great.
Yes it was an animated movie and these types of movies typically go beyond realistic boundaries, but there still needs to be some form of realism and believability and I think this movie strayed too far away – my example being the kids strength, climbing ability and the fact that he never really got hurt even though he was thrown around several times.
I know I can keep rambling about how I didn't like the kid, the ants, or any of the other characters, but I'll put the brakes on here.
I’ll admit that I have a biased opinion, but the way I see it, Disney Pixar far exceeds other animated movies with regards to animation, storyline, script, voiceovers, ect. And even if it wasn't an animated movie, Disney still wins with Honey I Shrunk the Kids.
