This movie looks like four elements remind of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Fifth Element. I hope this is good.

Pixar idzie na żywioł, płynnie poruszając różne wątki i motyw imigrantów oraz dyskryminacji. Jednak miejscami czuć pewne wypalenie. Ale animacja to ogień

"Elemental" is far from one of Pixar's best films, but it's also far from one of its worst. As negative points, it is worth mentioning the lack of a broader conflict regarding the existence of the universe presented (something we saw in"Elemental" is far from one of Pixar's best films, but it's also far from one of its worst. As negative points, it is worth mentioning the lack of a broader conflict regarding the existence of the universe presented (something we saw in "Zootopia") and a more consistent and daring script (the film is in the comfort zone the whole time). On the other hand, the voice acting, the two protagonists, the score by Thomas Newman and the animation are impressive and make the film worth seeing in theaters.… Expand

Elemental is a beautiful Pixar movie that’s about thanking our parents and carry on the legacy they have left behind for their immigrant children. It’s a must watch!

Yes, the movie meanders here and there, but the beautiful love story - I can identify as I married someone from a completely different religion from my own - is so disarmingly innocent and sweet that it caught me off guard in a completely good way. Wonderful colors, scenery, ingenious setting, and just an absolute instructive masterclass on love and civility and the need to remember we’re a helluva lot more similar than different. This movie is not meant for the dull witted, cynical, unintelligent or hateful bozo. However, if you have a heartbeat, believe in love, are an optimist and truly understand that the world can be a better place - provided everyone tries! - then this movie, which will age like a fine Pixar wine, is for you. Well done, Pixar, and please don’t let the hate filled dweebs still living and hate-clicking from mommy’s basement ruin what is, in every sense of the word, a masterpiece. Bravo! … Expand

This animated drama takes place in Element City, where fire, water, earth and air live side-by-side, but not together. When a fire family immigrates to the city, Ember, the daughter, befriends a young water guy, Wade. This cultural conflictThis animated drama takes place in Element City, where fire, water, earth and air live side-by-side, but not together. When a fire family immigrates to the city, Ember, the daughter, befriends a young water guy, Wade. This cultural conflict is a surprising plot for a Pixar film and it's handled with sensitivity. Some of the typical animation elements are missing; no wacky sidekick, no elaborate musical numbers and only minimal action scenes. On the other side, the generation of the creatures with their constantly moving facets is continually beautiful and fascinating. This is primarily a sweet, heartfelt romance with lovely visuals.… Expand

E considerando a diversidade de cores necessárias aqui, já que trabalha com elementos da natureza dos mais diversos possíveis, e ainda dentro de um próprio elemento trabalhar a tonalidade (por exemplo, numa loja frequentada por clientes de fogo, fazer com que todo o espaço ganhe diversos tons alaranjados), passando uma ideia natural e visualmente confortável, faz como que essa nova produção seja um espetáculo visual.
Infelizmente o roteiro não é nada do que já não tenhamos vistos: uma história de amor improvável combinado com uma dificuldade da jovem em impor sua própria personalidade frente às expectativas dos pais.
Algumas novidades narrativas como, por exemplo, a personagem não-binária, que aparece em 5 segundos de projeção, escondem a trama esquemática do amor impossível, com direito ao velho clichê do círculo em que iniciam se conhecendo, vão se desenvolvendo, há um lampejo de separação e... Advinhem?
Então não sei até que ponto tenho paciência para roteiros tão esquemáticos assim, mas o fato é que a parte técnica se sobressalta. A cena da "Faísca" e do "Gota" visitando um museu desativado onde há uma flor que tolera diversos tipos de elementos, é da coisa mais linda. E as sacadas com os diversos tipos de elementos também estão muito divertidos e criativos.
O filme, então, aposta nessa brincadeira com a física, ma exige paciência para se aceitar um roteiro que, por exemplo, faz o fogo pegar quando tem que pegar, e não pegar quando for conveniente (pegando numa maçaneta por exemplo). Mas isso tudo dá fluxo e possibilidade à narrativa, então é completamente perdoável e muito bem vindo.
Tudo isso para se contar uma história previsível e superficial, no geral. Ainda bem que os personagens principais têm muita química e simpatia, e os secundários são excelentes também, talvez desde "Coco - A vida é uma festa" não via um trabalho onde os personagens como um todo sejam super simpáticos, e por isso mesmo, e por ser muito belo por si, esse filme figura entre os melhores da safra da Disney.… Expand

Though the plot and the script were so-so at best, and it's probably too talky for kids under 10, the 3D animation may have been the most creative and most colorful EVER. I recommend "Elemental" just for the animation.

As a first generation kid of immigrants I really related to the characters and their experiences. The subtle cues about trying to fit in among a world that’s not so welcoming were really well conceived. The animation is trippy and inventive, and the score is lovely. I can see how this story may not resonate for those who have never felt to be outside the norm, but I think that most of us have felt that way in some context or another. Rated an 9 only because it’s not my favorite Pixar - I would rate Up, Inside Out, and Soul a little higher. But I loved it.… Expand

This is possibly the best "children's film" I have seen in ages, and before you disagree please read the rest of this review since I know most people here will hate it for completely understandable reasons.

First off, while the movieThis is possibly the best "children's film" I have seen in ages, and before you disagree please read the rest of this review since I know most people here will hate it for completely understandable reasons.

First off, while the movie superficially paints itself as an anti-racist, hyper woke social commentary - for anyone looking below the surface this movie is basically racial nationalist propaganda. Hitler would have LOVED it.

That heart wrenching scene where the poor fire dad and his fire elemental daughter get turned away by an earth land lord? How horrible, how racist... except... they almost set the house on fire by TOUCHING THE DOOR BELL. Would you rent to someone who would burn your apartment complex down with the simple act of stepping inside of it? Yeah, neither would anyone else.

Then we have another great scene where the fire dad is taking fire daughter to a plant exhibit, and they're turned away at the door. Can you guess why? If you said it was because "they would have set the whole thing on fire" then you were RIGHT! The superficial thing here is that racism is bad, and actually you should destroy everything you've ever accomplished just so you don't hurt the feelings of people that look, act, and are fundamentally different from yourself. As no one actually believes this in real life (even the people who claim to), it comes across as very pro-racism.

Another cute scene involves two water people destroying the property of fire people and giggling while they do it. This is the presumably 'good' act, for those of you who haven't caught it on yet. When the fire people chase them out of the store and scream at them for malicious property destruction? Why, they're just being mean for no reason! I wonder how many 'youths' will see this scene and realize why convenience store owners watch them every time they enter the store? Probably not many. The 'youth' aren't very bright, you see.

I could go on, but while this movie had me laughing so hard I cried I do have other things to do so I'll wrap it up.

The final and best argument actually involves the movie's main couple, a girl made out of fire and a guy made out of water. In other words, if they so much as hugged at least one of them would be committing homicide at best. At worst, it's a suicide murder.

They should have titled this movie: "Pixar: Why we hate race mixing and why you should too."

Brilliant!… Expand

The romance was sweet and the characters were relatable. The pacing was excellent. The animation is where the film stood out most though. The movie is absolutely gorgeous. The characters in Elemental, being made of elements and not completely solid, bend and warp in ways that feel very natural for their respective elements and wouldn't have been as easy to model and animate as human or animal characters, who are far more rigid in comparison. Over all, the film is outstanding. I would definitely recommend watching it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros- The characters are likeable and the chemistry between them works. I like the worldbuilding as we explore the different parts of element city. Ember is relatable to peopke who have similar issues. Wade is a good contrast to Ember,being able to be a foil to help her in her character arc. The visuals are spectacular and colorful. Cons-The story is decent but unfocused at times. I personally think Wade should have died so that the emotional impact of Wade's love for her would have been intensified. The film is not that bad,but not as impressive when compared to Guardians of the galaxy vol.3 and Puss in boots:the last wish.… Expand
