First of all, I would like to say
that I was looking forward to this movie as soon as I heard that Jim Parsons
was going to be one of the voice actors. I am a big fan of his work in Big Bang
Theory and personally, I kind of relate to his character in the Big Bang
Theory, Sheldon. We both think of the world differently than others. We both
sometimes think of cool ideas that others don’t understand. Basically we both have
brains that are different from others.
This brings me into Home, the DreamWorks
animated movie about aliens invading our planet. Well, actually it’s about an
alien race called the Boov (actual name and spelling) living on earth abducting
humans and putting them in a special town where they all live in “harmony” with
the Boov.
The two main characters, Tip and Oh,
are being hunted down by the other Boov because Tip (voiced by Rihanna) is a
human looking for her mom, and Oh (voiced by Jim Parsons) is a Boov that has
made one too many mistakes. The voice acting was actually pretty accurate, especially
in Jim Parsons sake because he made the character feel relatable and funny the
only way he could.
The story plot was actually pretty
good, giving you some parts that seem funny and other parts that might bring
you to tears. But my favourite part of the movie would probably be the end. I
can’t spoil it for you, but I can say that it might change everything you might
know about the Gorg (yes, that’s the other alien species). It has great themes
on bullying and being yourself but it was a little simple for me.
Also, the soundtrack was actually one
of my favourite soundtracks ever. Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez lend their voices
to some very thought provoking songs. I am disappointed to note that my
favorite mini song from Jim Parsons is not included.
Overall, I would rate this movie 8.7
because of the story, character growth and soundtrack. I would have liked some
of the plot to be a little less simple but it all still worked out great in the
end.
Oh, by the way, check out this YouTube
video of Jennifer Lopez singing live on American Idol the title song in the
soundtrack called “Feel the Light”. It is pretty epic.
Please comment and share as I learn from them.
Thanks!
