Lack of good storyline.
... View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreA story that's too fascinating to pass by...
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreThis was a really good movie that I still enjoy watching today, as an adult. The plot is pretty juicy once all the pieces are put together towards the end.

... View MoreThe future is a fantastic place most especially when it is your own and when you are a pretty well-adjusted person. This particular future is even more fantastic in that it allows movement from it back into the past; a fluidity that is made believable by the abilities of the young inventor.What is difficult to believe is the lack of interest by prospective parents in an apparently precocious child who builds a new invention for every interview; all of which inevitable fail catastrophically. There seems to be an unintended motif of adult negligence towards the support of young persons interests and passions.... Fortunately, our hero is brought to a future wherein passions of the human sort are celebrated. The rub is that this world is entirely of his own creation.Solipsism aside, Meet the Robinsons is a fun flick for the full family. The plot line wends its way through layers of time and personality with plenty of fun moments allowing for laughter and discussion; the former uncontained and the latter a matter of choice.
... View MoreYoung Lewis, the struggling scientist attempts to create his own memory scanner, in order to draw out the long-forgotten memories of the mother he no longer remembers. Now living in a state-run orphanage, Lewis begins the progress and after many attempts, fails his creation. Suddenly Wilbur, an odd boy who claims he's from the future whisks him up, and they journey to the forthcoming dimension. Once there, Lewis meets Wilbur eccentric and dysfunctional family, who attempt to make him release his true potential.I love this film to this day. I am not always the most objective viewer, I tend to see things from a child's perspective, and instead I miss any "goofs" that others will later inform me of. However, the best quality this film has to offer is it's sense of humor, it's so rich and vibrant yet quirky. While it does not feature a performance like David Spade's in The Emperor New Groove, its unparalleled in the sense that it's just all-out goofy. This sense of humor may not appeal to the (adult) masses, it does to children, and anyone who is a child at heart. Another wonderful element is the morals of working towards goals and dreams even when you the odds are against you. To me, it always felt kind of like Back to the Future meets Tomorrowland in a shockingly interesting way. The creative elements used to engineer this future world are magical and I myself wouldn't mind taken a trip there.
