    Enjoyable, but with its share of flaws
    On one hand, Lightyear is an enjoyable animated adventure film that captures the spirit of classic sci-fi exploration and discovery. The animation is vibrant and detailed, and the voice acting is excellent, particularly from Chris Evans and Taika Waititi. The film's sense of humor and witty banter are also enjoyable. On the other hand, the film suffers from a convoluted and overly complex storyline that can be difficult to follow at times. Additionally, some viewers may find the pacing slow and the themes somewhat heavy-handed. Lightyear is a fun and entertaining film, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea and will probably not be remembered as an eternal Pixar classic down the line.

    Poster boy for Pixar's decline
    Probably the weakest Pixar to date (excluding the notorious Cars sequels).

    There is almost nothing in this film to make it unique, the story is extremely derivative, characters are generic, the visuals are boring and uninventive - especially compared to more recent "Elemental". I feel like that by next week I will not remember anything about this film, perhaps only that it was some spinoff from Toy Story.

    It would have been better if Pixar completely flopped trying to create something new, instead of resigning to create bland average.

    We just have to accept that the bullseye years are gone and we will have to suffer through sever mediocre films to see one great one.
