Watched this because I recommended The Last Wish to my dad and he accidentally watched this instead. Oops.
The film is okay. Obvious twist villain is obvious, I don't even need to spoiler tag this. Well directed and very well animated for 2011, but not particularly well edited, and definitely needed more work on the writing.
This is a great film that seemed to run out of ideas in the last half hour.
The first two acts do a brilliant job of extracting as much as possible from the core concept without getting overly philosophical. It's funny, it's clever, it's all very Bong Joon Ho and this is good.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This is not better than curse of the were-rabbit, in fact this was less entertaining than the first despicable me film
You find yourself predicting every plot point and then the one plot twist with the turnip feels like an ass-pull. The visual gags are brilliant as always but the whole product feels empty, and honestly Norbot is fucking cringe. Ex machina did all the AI stuff ten years ago lmao
The final action scene was never going to be as good as the wrong trousers, but this was just dull
I feel so bad about this but it's not a good film
