Lack of good storyline.
... View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreYes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
... View MoreThe reasons why I don't like this movie are: 1) The plot made no sense. Roscoe makes a beautiful holographic rock star, falls in love with someone who isn't real, then ends up going with his best friend?! I am sorry, but haven't we heard that somewhere before? 2) This is minor, but the name "Sam" is really starting to get on my nerves. It says on here that her name is Samantha, but they call her Sam. Disney needs to take that name and SHOVE it right out the window. They use it WAY too much as a girl name. Pick better names.3) The acting. The acting was okay but it wasn't the greatest. Ricky Ullman is one of the worst I have ever seen(actually I have seen a lot worse) but he is up there.4) The kissing. Yes there was 2 parts where Sam and Roscoe kiss. Can you say wimpy? They were not cute, nor sweet. They were 1 second each and totally lame. They were like 2 8 year olds kissing.Overall this film wasn't very good.
... View MoreAfter all the droll of the Mowry movies on Disney Channel, Pixel Perfect turned out to be a breath of fresh air. I'm pleased to say that the only times I fast forward on the tape are to skip the commercials.The main characters were all well-defined. Rachel and Cindy seemed in the movie for relief and to chip in the occassional comment; Roscoe's dad had a little more character to him. Loretta's struggle to obtain some sort of humanity was somewhat old since I'd seen this concept on "ST: Voyager" with the EMH, but with Sam, Roscoe's best friend turned girlfriend, thrown in, the combination was not that bad.The music in the movie struck me as hokey sometimes. I could tell that in some sequences, it seemed that the vocals were just coming out of the air instead of Loretta's mouth. One of the best songs was "Get Real" with its jazzy, high-tech melodies. What really surprised me was the score by Philip Marshall, which reached its high point in the end with a nice flute undertone; it made the end of the movie very poignant.The exploration of human relationships was well-done for a Disney movie. Here, Sam and Roscoe were dealing with real issues, Roscoe with having trouble seeing the benefits of reality in Sam while distracted with Loretta, and Sam dealing with her jealously with Loretta and trying to > convince Roscoe "I'm real." Life may not be fun, but when someone real like Sam comes along, live
... View MoreThis is just a fun movie to watch. Forget that Loretta could never exist (at least not for a LONG time) and just lose yourself in the story of a young couple realizing what they mean to each other and in overcoming obstacles in realizing their dreams. It's also about a girl (hologram, actually) coming to terms with her existence, sacrificing herself to save another and making the best she can with what life dealt her. I enjoyed it a lot!
... View MoreI really was disappointed. Like many of my friends we're older and can't appreciate Disney movie's like younger children can. But I expected more out of Disney. They're credits, films, and shows have only gone downhill since the original Walt died. There is NO replacing him and his great creative ideas.
