Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken

Directed by Kirk DeMicco, starring Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Jane Fonda; written by Pam Brady, Brian C. Brown, Elliott DiGuiseppi

The teenage daughter of a Kraken family that lives hidden among humans discovers the truth about her family.

Interesting concept for a coming-of-age story and colorful animation.
But the execution is hopelessly messy with no clear focus or drive.

Netflix / Rating: E+

Just finished watching #rubygillmanteenagekraken which is the latest film from #dreamworks #animation. Overall I got just about the movie I expected. Going into it, I was expecting a very simple and sweet movie that would feel kind of similar to #mylifeasateenagerobot except as a movie. It's extremely tongue and cheek and knows exactly the kind of film it wants to be. As per usual, most of the animation in this film is extremely well done with them leaning pretty heavily into a lot of fun rubber hose movements from Ruby herself (she has no bones) and the weight of them going kaiju felt appropriate. The design of the main town is also a lot of fun with a nice modern take of what a waterpunk type of town would look and function like. First 2 acts of this movie are also very strong. Main cast is likeable and the interactions between all the characters flows really nice and naturally. A lot of the banter was able to get plenty of laughs out of me. However, the movie does lose a lot of it's momentum once the 3rd act starts. Basically the first 2 parts are the generic teenage coming of age story handled with care and cleverness. Act 3 mostly feels like they hit auto complete on an AI to get to the ending and because the plot isms for things to progress. However, despite it's noticeable drop in quality, it never gets to the point where it's annoying or unwatchable. It just feels generic and then you get your nice little feel good ending that you expect with a film like this. Considering the recent films from Dreamworks I was hoping that this film would be a bit more of a sleeper classic. And for the first 2/3rds, that was the movie I got. However, that last act really does put this down more to a slightly better than average movie that's a decent watch, but nothing you need to go out of your way for. Hopefully this ends up being just a one off case and they continue their gold streak that they had with both Bad Guys and Puss in Boots.
6/10

Also hilarious fact, I was the only person in the theater for my showing. Shows that the marketing for this film just was not good

Checked out #DreamWorks #RubyGillmanTeenageKraken and it does need some support. Though it is a cliche, do give it a chance if you can. It's not that bad.
