Review
On a Saturday like this, I watched this certain film at my local Cinemark theater, the first time I've done that in a few years, and the first for a film review. On the big screen, in the dark with not much noise in the way. And the film was good. To begin with, the animation looks good. It's weird and nice at the same time, giving off a cool feel. The story works well, it gets darker as the film approaches its end, making me feel reminded of Coraline when watching it. And yet, the film is still funny. It has some good chuckles (that aren't just reserved from the trailer) that keep this smart film working all throughout. Fun fact: The Countdown to 250 begins here. 10...
Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
