One of my favorite movies of last year. Some of the most impressive aspects of this film were the cinematography and the music. It pulled me into the movie in a way that few movies have ever been able to do before. A completely awe inspiring film, especially when viewed in IMAX in the most immersive environment possible. It leaves plenty of open doors for a potential sequel as well.
My favorite movie of all time, this film really spoke to my inner child with a fascination for the unknown. I wrote to NASA once in elementary school telling them that I wanted to be an astronaut someday, and the moment that they responded back was when I complely fell in love with the final frontier. This curiosity has followed me to this day, and this movie delivered in a way that few space movies have been able to do before.
Coco is a masterclass in making the viewer care more about the characters in a few minutes than most movies can do in their entire runtime. I won't spoil anything here, but this movie deals with death in a fascinating manner that is very respectful of Mexican tradition. It is vibrant and wonderful, a good time for children and adults alike. Have a box of tissues handy for this one as there were many scenes that made me tear up.
