Lack of good storyline.
... View MoreDon't Believe the Hype
... View MoreA lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
... View MoreThe biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
... View MoreNow seriously, stay with this. My 15 year old picked this up in a charity shop for 25p and said "I bet this is horrible" - so we bought it to laugh at it over the half term holidays. We watched this today, all three of us as "family time" while we ate spaghetti - its possibly the worse thing I've ever seen, I'm not even sure if my husband is still alive. HOWEVER you must watch it to the end because you will not be expecting that. The best part which they very thoughtfully paused for me while I went to get dessert (I tried) was when Sparky, our 21 year old 8 year old "hero" went to get some body modification and while he was screaming in the background the most FU bird I've ever seen flew over the scene, I thought my son was going to choke to death on his spaghetti, watch the wings. This is very helpfully in the "scene selection" section so you can watch it as many times as you like. Watch it to the end where it takes a Dexteresque turn for the very disturbing. Overall, I don't regret the 40 minutes of physical pain I endured as it led us here to laugh at the amazing reviews, which is probably why you're here. Welcome to the club, we're like plane crash sole survivors, no one will ever understand what we went through. They'll be a group therapy session at the main street YMCA main hall Thursday at 10, see you there.
... View MoreI was honestly planning on making a sarcastic review but its not even good enough for that. It physically hurt to sit through this mess of a movie. The animation looks like a 4 year old has found a computer from a dumpster and decided to make a movie. WAS THERE EVEN A PLOT THOUGH. The best part of this movie was when they were beating Speedy and killing her i thoroughly enjoyed that scene. Speedy's voice actor made me suicidal. I hope this company crashes and burns. I regret wasting 40 minutes of my life on this movie.
... View MoreThis has spoilers. Do you care? I pray not, because if this movie can be spoiled for you, then help your soul, you're going to regret it.There's really just so much nothingness to this movie. The story is about a rambunctious car-child called Sparky. His father has a hard time controlling him, and tells him he'll get in trouble if he doesn't start behaving, and he'd end up like his dead cousin's girlfriend, Diesel. Yes, for some reason, he has a dead cousin. It's really randomly dark. Ah, who cares? You sure won't after hearing the awful shrieking that is Sparky's girlfriend, Speedy. There's also Sparky's younger sister, Gracie, who is voiced by an actual child. The voice acting in this is awful, but everything sounds like child's play comparatively to Sparky's girlfriend, a pink nightmare. The movie then just hangs out at a gas station to conserve on animation of movement where we see the HILARIOUS antics of a car driving in circles for two minutes while everyone just kind of stares (except the pink one, who reminds you that there somehow IS a worst voice actor in this movie). Then Diesel shows up to cause Sparky to be even more disobedient. This eventually leads him and his girlfriend out in the open,when suddenly they bump into Diesel. Sparky, because the plot demands it, finds this suspicious (even though he's never been suspicious of her before), and thinks they should leave, but pink car says no. However, before they can go, they are captured by Diesel who kills cars for their scrap metal. She has the pink one slashed, again being randomly dark, and Sparky all of a sudden is smart and knows the moral. The father rescues him, and the villains are caught, and Sparky learns a lesson in why rules are important.This movie is a nightmare. I'd rate it at a one, but the random dark moments are so amusing that I feel it gets a two just for how it made me laugh at those parts. Unfortunately, my favorite part, the pink car getting murdered, was a cop out and she actually lived somehow. Otherwise, the animation is dull, the movie is at the same, boring pace, and the... "Voice acting"... Will make you reconsider ever criticizing anyone's voice acting again. The humor it tries for is ultimately unsuccessful. The actual funny parts is how the story switches from child disobedience to crime mystery is the funniest part. It really comes out of nowhere. The characters are boring. Sparky: The child who never listens and makes you wish to never have children. Dad: The dad, written like every dad character. He seems mean to his kid but he's only trying to protect him, of course. Diesel: Really creepy woman-car who wants to kill people for their body parts. Sounds kid friendly. Speedy: The ANNOYING girlfriend who advocates that every car, no matter how different, has feelings. So basically, a millennial, only this one has a voice to match the annoying qualities of what they teach. Everyone else: I guess there's a gas pump that's someone to talk to the dad to reveal his dad feelings. There's Sparky's younger sibling, voiced by an actual child, and then there's Diesel's minions.So, basically, every cookie-cutter stereotype for a kid's flick you could have. Only this is not suitable for children. It's a horror film that most adults are frightened by.So, yeah, that's everything you want to know about what you oughtn't want to know. If you are one of the poor souls who must suffer this, my condolences.
... View MoreMy cousin that I was babysitting (she's 4) rented this movie with her parents and when I had to watch her I had to watch the movie. She eventually grew bored and went to play with her toys while I was flabbergasted at the horrible movie.1. The animation is some of the worse. None of the character designs have any appeal to them and they're are some questionable choices they made. Why do the cars have robot arms? Why is it when Speedy puts motor oil on the front of the cars windows she can't see but her eyes are next to her headlights? Why would a truck carry an ax with a robot arm?2. The characters are annoying and insufferable to sit through. Sparky is an troublesome car who never listens to anyone, Gracie laughs at anything which makes her irritating, the dad is a horrible parent and Speedy has the most loathsome voice I've ever heard in any kids movie. Plus it doesn't help that the voice acting is terrible. Speedy has a high pitched wailing voice, Sparky sounds like he's slurring his words and Gracie sounds like she just learned to speak three days ago.3. The story is a car wreck. Diesel suggests things for Sparky to do while Sparky keeps getting in trouble and he keeps listening to her. Why would you listen to someone that has gotten you into so much trouble with your dad? What in the world are gas-leaches? They look like the robots from Wall-E only with loud grinding motor noises. Plus why did Speedy survive despite having ax wounds slashed on her?This is the kind of movie that would make you turn off your TV in three seconds. Why would anyone watch this or make this movie? the only reason I gave it a star is because at least there wasn't a musical which it seemed like at the beginning it would be one.Watch something else and avoid this movie at all cost.
