Movie Review: Lightyear (Non-Spoiler Review)

Ever wondered what was the story behind Toy Story’s best-selling space themed toy Buzz Lightyear? Me too and a million other Toy Story fans who grew up watching the original Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios animated film - and at long last this month we finally get the answer to that burning question that’s been festering for nearly three decades! Lightyear - the animated spin-off movie that focuses on the legendary space ranger and his origin story has arrived in theaters, and providing the voice of the character himself is none other than hot shot Hollywood star and Captain America actor Chris Evans!

Thanks to Walt Disney Studios PH, Stratworks, and SM Cinema, I got to see this amazing animated adventure for the whole family at SM Megamall’s IMAX theater in glorious 3D! It was definitely an experience, and this film needs to be seen by those who enjoy Pixar films, space adventures, and of course the story of the man himself, Buzz Lightyear!

Here’s some photos from the premiere - which happened on June 11 Saturday and had some friends cosplaying as Buzz and space rangers!

After the jump, I’ll share my short thoughts and opinions about this animated adventure - which opens today in cinemas around the Philippines! This is non-spoiler and no details about the plot will be discussed, so dive right in!
