Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe oxygen tanks in the movie are actually the scream canisters used in Monsters, Inc.
- GoofsThe hyper speed shown in the movie is extremely slow considering the distances involved. When Buzz is doing the fuel tests his speed is measured in c, with 1c being 100% hyper speed. In physics 1c is the speed of light.
The text at the start of the movie states T'Kani Prime is 4.2 million light years from Earth, which means it would take 4.2 million years to travel that distance at the speed of light. Given the Turnip is supposed to be an exploration ship, an 8 million year round trip does not seem practical.
- Quotes
Buzz Lightyear: To infinity...
[point his finger to her]
Izzy: [looks stunned] Are you trying to get me to pull your finger?
Mo Morrison: Don't fall for it.
Buzz Lightyear: No, not like that! It's just... Ugh. Sorry, it's a thing your grandma and I used to do.
Darby Steel: Ew.
- Crazy credits[SPOILER] There are 3 scenes during the end credits: a mid-credits scene about two minutes into the credits that shows a bug being blasted by the laser shield, a post-credits scene immediately before the studio logos where DERIC finishes giving directions to the storehouse and realizes everyone has already left, and a final scene after the studio logos revealing that Zurg survived the explosion.

The nostalgia was there for ten minutes and then it went away as the story trails away into something that just didn't sit right. While we never got firm info about Buzz's origins in the "Toy Story" films. This isn't what I expected for his story. I expected this to be an emotional journey, but there were maybe three moments where a tear was shed. The rest was just "empty" space.
The voice acting was good. Chris Evans sounded like Buzz and brought the character to life. The surrounding characters were just as enjoyable. Definitely some funny moments amongst them. I did get a few laughs out, but it felt forced sometimes to be able to enjoy the film.
The film definitely looked, and sounded, great, but it didn't do enough to grasp a love for the character, or the story. Honestly, I don't think this film was for adults to reach back to the childhood nostalgia, but rather its for a new generation to make the character it's own meaning. Flip side to Buzz was Zurg. Zurg was perhaps the biggest disappointment with how they portrayed him. Who he was in "Toy Story" is not the same as who is here, and again, it didn't sit right.
I think the biggest thing is to forget the trailer. Go in with an open-mind and make of it what you will. The kids in the theatre seemed to have loved.
Overall, not the outstanding film I was expecting even with all the great visual and sound. The story lacked expectations for a nostalgic character, but wasn't necessarily terrible, so again, go in with an open-mind.
Thank you for reading my review. Until next time.... Enjoy the show!
