Strange World: 2 and 3/4 stars out of 4

I liked it fine enough. The pulp-style presentation is pretty neat as it has this throwback feel to something like Journey to the Center of the Earth. The "world", such as it is, is nice to look at and the characters are likeable enough.

The story is kind of paint-by-numbers, though, and it pales in comparison to stuff like Raya and the Last Dragon and even Encanto where they tackled family generational issues, too. I was into it, though, probably because of my own abrasive relationship with my father. It's a shame it bombed as I think people would've been OK with at least one viewing of it, but on the other hand I don't think it's anything you need to go out of your way to see.
