This movie is about Dory, the sweet forgetful fish from Finding Nemo, finding her family. There is a very touching "Pixar" moment when this is resolved. But the rest of the movie...OK, we do not expect movies to be realistic. But we expect some level of plausibility. In Finding Nemo, a large portion of the movie is dedicated to planning how to get one fish out of a fish tank. In Finding Dory, every move the characters have to do (like getting from the ocean to a tank, or a tank to another tank) is about 100 times more difficult, and is solved with about 1/100th of the effort. There was the same problem with dreadful Cars 2: they feel the need to "up" the action, to the point that the amazing is commonplace. There are no highs and lows, no tension, just wall to wall actions for the kids. And to paraphrase one of the good Pixar movies: "When every action in the movie is super... nothing is." Great if you're with kids under about 10. But if you're older and want a nostalgic follow-up Finding Nemo - disappointng.
... View MoreI watched this in theaters and enjoyed it a lot. More of the clownfish family and their friend Dory. I wasn't bored in the slightest and I loved all of the different marine animals, especially the octopus and the beluga. There were edge-of-your-seat moments but it added more meat to the movie's bones. It's also kind of that quest for your past story where you have to find those special to you, even if you've only known them for a short while. Who hasn't had that experience or event in life? The movie may not be for everyone, but it's good for those of you who want more Nemo, Marlin, and Dory.
... View MoreI just saw a movie today! What did I see? Remember! Remember! Oh! I saw Finding Dory today! I liked it, but not as much as Finding Nemo because Dory didn't always remember she was lost or why which made her story less interesting and the ending climax seemed forced. It does have laughs and heart touching scenes, but Finding Nemo had more of both and stronger supporting characters. Oh, I saw Finding Dory today. I liked it, but not loved it. The original is still my favorite Pixar cartoon. That was a more exciting story...wait, what was I talking about?
... View More(See the title? I'm funny)Finding Dory is a well made and entertaining film, but it holds no substance. Characters were unmemorable and the story was both generic and cliche. Although, the animation and sound design is amazing. This film had no real purpose to exist, besides Ellen 'The Generous' DeGeneres keep joking about a Finding Nemo sequel to Pixar like a 13 year old child saying 'Do you know de wey?" in a Discord server.5/10. Not bad, but not great.
