Luca
SCORE: 62
While we have Disney+ for a month thanks
to that two dollar deal I decided to check out some of the Disney movies
we had missed. Luca is one of those movies. Luca is a bit boring, and
bland though. What has happened to Pixar? They did not used to release
such stinkers. I know there is controversy surrounding this movie and
tons of controversy around Disney these days. I know some people will
even be mad that we are even covering this product. There will be some
spoilers within this review. I warned you up front.
Luca is about these mermaid sea monster creatures that are living their
lives under water. Luca is the shepherd of the fish for his family. He
meets Alberto who goes up onto the land. When they go up onto the land
they look like humans. Luca has been warned to not go up on the land. He
disobeys his parents and keeps disobeying because he is curious about
the humans on the land. Alberto tempts him to keep doing things on the
land. Luca is going to be sent away to the deep because of his
disobedience. So Luca runs away to live on the land.
Luca and Roberto meet Giulia in their quest to get a vespa scooter. They
see the vespa scooter as freedom to go all over the surface world. They
have no concept of things like money. Which makes me question how Luca
is able to read after only a few days on the surface? He should have no
concept of the Italian language. Luca and Giulia become great friends to
the possible point of romance in the future. Roberto gets jealous and
almost ruins everything for them.
It takes an hour and forty-one minutes to watch Luca. There are some
definite sexual deviancy undertones in certain parts of this movie.
There is some violent content as the humans want to kill the sea
monsters. Ercole (the town bully) is also violent toward a variety of
different characters within Luca. The music within Luca sounds really
old. I wonder if Disney is trying to avoid paying artists for music
within this movie.
Luca is very predictable in the ending. Luca wins the race and the
humans decide to accept the sea monsters. The parents are also accepting
of Luca's repeated disobedience. Luca winds up going off to school in
the end of this movie. My biggest issue with Luca is the disobedience he
shows to his parents again and again. The animation is good. The voice
acting is alright as well. Luca is just not very memorable for me. I
also wish Disney Pixar could go back to making good movies with good
lessons.
