The special bond that develops between plus-sized inflatable robot Baymax, and prodigy Hiro Hamada, who team up with a group of friends to form a band of high-tech heroes. (IMDb)
A surprisingly tragic lead and heavy road-to-redemption story here are trivialized by predictable and lightning-quick character development and plot movement, while fun secondary characters are established with little precedent, gain even less depth, and deliver mediocre juvenile humour. Baymax–headlining the film’s cool tech theme–is the most interesting (and funny) of all the characters, but even his big body can’t hide the film’s lazy and rushed script that squanders its content’s potential.
6.5/10 (Mediocre)
