Cute at the moment but ultimately forgettable. Luca is another big step in terms of visuals for Pixar. The movie looks and sounds absolutely phenomenal. This, Soul, and Coco are probably the best looking Pixar films ever. The score is reallyCute at the moment but ultimately forgettable. Luca is another big step in terms of visuals for Pixar. The movie looks and sounds absolutely phenomenal. This, Soul, and Coco are probably the best looking Pixar films ever. The score is really fun and works well with the film and the sound design is phenomenal. However, I can’t let the animation blind me to the fact that the story and characters are very subpar. Luca and Alberto have good voice actors doing a good job with the material but their character development is thin and generic for a Pixar movie. I don’t remember a whole lot about their characters other than they are fish people. All of the other characters felt one note especially the villain who is awful. The villain has absolutely no development, motivation, or interesting backstory compared to any other Pixar film and it sucks because Pixar has cranked out some fantastic villains. This story feels very generic and has very low stakes. There isn’t anything wrong with a low stakes story but it needs to have a solid story built around it and this doesn’t really have a solid story. Events just kinda happen and they form a story but there isn’t anything deeper than that. It has some good themes of acceptance and belonging but they feel one note and not explored enough. I ultimately found myself getting bored at points which usually doesn’t happen with Pixar. While Luca can excel in its visuals, music, sound design, and voice acting, it ultimately doesn’t have a lot more to offer than that. If you like Pixar then check this out but don’t expect it to be the next Ratatouille.… Expand

Boring and predictable. Adults were falling asleep and the kids were wandering off to do other things by the halfway point.

+Great art style
+Decent voice cast
-Average plot
-Below average screenplay for a Pixar

Definitely enjoyed watching Luca, but really this is a C class Pixar movie at its best.

This is a good example of a movie that relies mostly on the nice graphics and lovely place created by the story. The story is rather uninspiring and a bit commmonplace and really wasn't too well thought out.

Because of this movie, it has been mentioned that there are two Pixars.

The studio with the excellent quality that has produced incredible animated classics, and the one that hardly does enough to please the public.
But I don't see it that way.

I know that I have to admit that there are better movies from the studio, and there are ones that could be considered are coming from a lesser Pixar.

But are you coming to tell me that Pixar has ever made a bad movie? ****

Luca is perhaps one of their simplest stories ever, and probably their most rudimentary film since Cars 3.
This more than anything because like that trilogy, Luca is more focused on a child audience, and their true great stories are more universal.
Even so, this is a story about friendship that unfolds in a very good way, especially since it's not trying to be more than what it's showing.

I'm not fooling myself, nor do I fool people by telling them it's a great movie, far from it, but can't say it's bad either.

I know people will hardly be talking about in a few weeks, and of course it will not appear in the most prominent of its catalog, but even so, it's not a disposable option. It's more like an optional pick from their repertoire.

Pixar decided not to risk anything, and therefore we see the super basic results.
The colors and visual splendor are present and I liked them, but there's not a great story, not the same soul, nor the same enthusiasm.

Luca is content to be just competent and ordinary. Nothing else.… Expand
