Lightyear | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

"Lightyear" is frantic and colorful and the one hour and 40 minute runtime zips by, but it's confounding who exactly the movie is intended for.

LIGHTYEAR is an approximation of what an energetic kid in the mid-90s would have glommed onto. It's a nostalgia bomb [of STAR WARS meets STAR TREK pastiche] and it works.

Lightyear is an action-packed and visually stunning experience that puts less of a premium on Pixar’s legendary heartfelt comedy. Still, this is a future franchise that’s light-years in the making.

It may not be Pixar's best movie, but it's definitely not their worst; it's the kind of vastly entertaining, emotional, heartfelt and humorous Pixar adventure we all expect from this iconic animation studio.

As Lightyear stumbles to make a compelling story on its own, it’s difficult to not get caught up in the incongruities.
