Day: July 16, 2014

Throughout the entirety of this film, all I could think was one thing: when were the Phil Collins songs going to start? Tarzan’s umpteenth iteration, in animated motion-capture format, is dull, plodding, and nominally poorly animated. The humans look like bad children’s TV avatars, while the landscapes and effects are truly breathtaking, an imbalance that drags the eye out of the film’s story and into its inadequacies. Plus, there’s some kind of plot about a crashed meteor powering cities… yawn.
