Epic and Intergalactic! Lightyear is the backstory we didn’t know we needed. Among all of Disney’s animated films released this year, Lightyear is number one considering how unique it is.
Lightyear follows the backstory of Buzz Lightyear, a Space Ranger. The character originally depicted as a toy action figure in the 1995 Pixar film Toy Story. Lightyear (Chris Evans) goes on a mission to return the human race back home as they are on a foreign planet. However, he faces the same challenge to do so, resulting in his need for a team. Will Buzz be able to finish the mission?
To Infinity and Beyond! Lightyear takes you through a whirlwind of emotions! There is the perfect mix of action, accurately timed comedy and dramatic plot twists. Growing up watching the Toy Story series with Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) it took me awhile to grasp the voice of someone else playing such an iconic voice. However, what makes this film incredible is that it captures an entirely new perspective on this character we all once that we knew. Lightyear also in itself uncovers many new doors in terms of film theories. With this said, I can’t wait to see how Lightyear matures with new and old films. This movie is a must see in IMAX. As much of the film has seen in space, there are many times the audience is enveloped as if they were in the space ship along with Buzz himself. This Pixar film is among the most diverse I have ever seen.
The message Lightyear shows is that our friends and family are our teammates throughout our greatest missions.
I give Lightyear 5 out 5 stars and I recommend it to ages 5 to 18 plus adults. It releases in theaters June 17. You won’t want to miss it!
