Okja

Okja is definitely a touching movie, but the tone was off, and a lot of the characters were like caricatures. I could never quite get into it.

Okja is a weird movie. It’s about a genetically modified “super pig” that looks like a giant hippo. It gets raised by a little girl in the forest for ten years, and then the company that made it wants it back. The characters are super odd. They’re like caricatures. I didn’t particularly enjoy Tilda’s performance as twin sisters – which by the way, is she typecast into only playing twins now? And Jake was super bizarre as the doctor.

Apparently James Cameron had been waiting his whole life to make Pocahontas in CG. Not exactly what I was hoping for.

I think it was really pretty, though. I'm not sure for certain because I saw it in 3D. Since I have astigmatism, I can't really see 3D that well, so it pretty much just gave me a headache. But I'm betting it was gorgeous if you could see it properly.
