Abominable Review Roundup

In comparison with their eternal rivals from the 'House of Mouse', DreamWorks has been having a somewhat low key year despite the success of the third How to Train your Dragon movies. Perhaps this is how the illustrious animation studio prefers it as their films often sneak up upon you without any hype or panache but somehow sticks in your heart and memories as a classic. Is their latest film Abominable, about to do the same? Here's the review roundup:
COLLIDER C-
"Abominable will definitely win over the younger audiences, but those who recognize the film’s obvious attempt at replicating the success of other movies without putting much of an effort to stand out on its own will find themselves wishing they were seeing one of those better movies instead."

VARIETY 
"Abominable has a checklist of moral lessons it aims to impart: love your family, take fewer selfies and play the violin (a gift bequeathed by Yi’s dad). In the film’s most moving scene, Yi plays a solo so powerful it summons rain, flowers, and the Coldplay hit “Fix You.” It’s a fascinating musical mashup that starts with a Christian-style organ playing over the image of a famous Buddhist religious site that gives way to a pop mega-hit. For an aspiring blockbuster, that culture clash is the cash-grab holy trinity. That Culton might eke out a tear is a bonus."

IGN 6/10
"
The themes of Abominable are universal, dealing as it does with loss and grief. But they sit uneasily with the film’s humor, which is slapstick-heavy and aimed squarely at pre-teens (aside from a seriously dated reference to 1993 hip-hop collective Tag Team). The result is a film that’s all over the place. Yi is certainly a likable lead and Everest an entertaining foil, but beyond some stunning audio and visual moments, Abominable has little new to say concerning its clichéd subject."

ROGER EBERT
"Ultimately, “Abominable” wants to be a cinematic representation of its central character—lovable, sweet, and occasionally magical. But it actually feels more like the meanie corporate boss—more concerned with profit than creativity, trying to own a piece of the animated world that it doesn’t really understand."

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER 
"
Perhaps DreamWorks didn’t want to take too many risks with this first major cross-cultural venture with China, employing a cast that includes both Asian and Caucasian actors and a story that can be enjoyed by kids anywhere who like their movies to be fully huggable. If the result often feels like a compromise, it’s a well-rendered compromise that impresses in its scale and colorful flights of fancy, as well as in its awesome eagerness to please."

Based on this very roundup, it seems that Abdominal have just missed the mark, especially when compared to some of DreamWorks' best. However, I must also mention that the film does currently have a very healthy 89% score on Rotten Tomatoes. We all will have the opportunity to find out for ourselves as the film is set for release in US cinemas on the 20th, so look for it at Palace Amusement cinemas the following week here in Jamaica.
