So I watched this movie for free, right? I thought this was gonna be like this secret life of pets knockoff comedy but it turns out this is the secret life of pets meets the last of us and I'm not kidding you, sis.
Where do I even begin god... first of all I have to warn you that this movie is extremely confusing all the way through. Although the concept may seem interesting
At first the creators didn't give enough damn time for this movie for anyone to actually understand it
1 Cape is an extremely bland main character. He's basically this huge ray of sunshine who is mentally obsessed with this one place his dad told him called peachtopia and told him his mom was there or whatever and it turns out she's actually dead. What a great guy. I didn't enjoy any of the characters in this movie because they were nothing more than their purpose for the plot. Cape is extremely obsessed with peachtopia but there's nothing really else to him, his overly 100% optimistic attitude got on my damn nerves especially when there is literally nothing to be happy about goin on in this movie. It was annoying and frustrating to see cape not understand that the fact his dad only wants to protect him from the world like every parent, and he should've just listened to him. I wish they gave cape more character traits other than just optimistic, positive and overall innocent. Nobody likes a character that's perfect and cape is that "perfect" "I never do anything wrong" kind of character.
2 oh my god, the plot is so confusing. So they have this necklace marble thingy (which has the most boring laziest design) and throughout the whole movie they try to protect this one crystal ball to not get in the hands of the evil villain guy. You must think it's because it's actually important to the story and has something to do with something really important, right??? Well actually it turns out that the crystal ball had nothing special to it. Nope, I'm not joking and the cat deliberately says it was just a useless piece of junk. So why the hell did they waste their whole time all to protect this stupid marble when it wasn't anything important in the first place??? You got us all so worked up to find out what's the purpose of this possibly magic crystal and it turns out it wasn't worth a damn???what??? Like are you so lazy, you just gave up on making this crystal actually being worth protected throughout this entire movie??? Are you too stupid to figure out what to make special about this one crystal so you just gave up??? Why does this guy even want this crystal anyways? He's gonna kill himself over getting this stupid regular marble back? Why don't he just go to Michael's and get him a whole jar of marbles??? There was absolutely no reason why he should want it.
3 peachtopia is seriously the most confusing place of all time. It's like they couldn't decide if they wanted it on land or in water so they kind of just did both in the weirdest way. We don't actually learn anything at all about peachtopia or what it even is exactly. It's like anything in this movie having a real purpose is just unheard of. We only get to see it for a few minutes in the movie and it just looks like an ordinary place. There's nothing unique or magical about it. Just because it has all these mountains and pink flower trees everywhere doesn't mean that it special. Mountains and cherry blossom trees are found through almost everywhere in China, which is where this movie is placed. I don't feel like I'm anywhere different or out of this world, I still just feel like I'm still somewhere in China. I don't feel like the characters actually accomplished anything by going to peachtopia because cape wanted to find his mom there but his mom is dead anyway, so what's the point? After they find this place and they've been there for only five minutes or less they just decide to go home. What??? Cape literally almost got thrown in fire just to get to here! They suffered so much just to get to this one place and they're not even gonna stay for at least a couple of days??? Why the hell would cape wanna go home anyways if he complained about being cooped up in there his whole life??? The whole point of this movie was to get cape out of there and the ending is him going back???
4 they have absolutely no relationship with the owner of this movie which is another reason of why should cape go home. She not important to the story at all, the writers just push away her character completely. We don't ever see her getting worried about her pets being missing. Plus she is seriously a terrible pet owner, who the hell is gonna leave their window open while it's thundering outside, letting your cat sit by the window like an idiot? Why in the world did she get a bird??? I thought she was a cat person??? Macaws cost over 10,000$ but she lost it the day she got her??? Macaws require a professional exotic handler, she can't even take care of a cat!
5 the villain is overall lame. It's an interesting idea of him being a glass maker but what motivates him to be evil is very poor. Basically he just wants to kill animals to make his glass or whatever because I guess he can't design anything else out of glass that isn't an animal. He's upset that no one buys his glass, I was like " yeah no shet no one likes your glass art, maybe because it's bigger than the size of their house and you kill animals just to make it!" Why is he so obsessed with glass anyway? And why the hell are raccoons working for him??? Does this dude know how to speak raccoon??? Why doesn't he hire a human to do his dirty work? You know? Something more sophisticated and capable? There is absolutely no reason in this movie of why he wants that crystal so bad, it's pathetic. What's he gonna do with it? Wear it and feel pretty??? He's old as shet, your life is over, dude. Stop worrying about glass and go to the olds folks home. Shouldn't this guy be in jail for animal cruelty by now? Especially if one of the animals is someone's pet?
6 the animals in this movie don't act like animals which is an extremely big problem. For god sake there's cats drinking licker in this moving I'm not even joking what the hell. They could've done something more clever like making cream or milk as their alcohol. Yes, I know people can do whatever they want with cartoon cats but they act so much like people and nothing like cats they could've made this movie with them being humans. They can't even land on their feet when they fall, they show no natural cat like nature and it falters their character. Even anthropomorphic character act somewhat like the animal their based on in movies, so why can't they at least a little? It would bring so much life and character if they acted more like the animal they are by nature. Also, the voice acting is absolutely terrible in this movie, I get that this is originally in Chinese but I cannot.
7 the movie is way more gloomy than what it really needs to be. Even when they try to make funny jokes to lighten things up, it fails miserably and it's always such a small gesture that you probably won't even actually notice they were trying to be funny. Most of the plot is just them running away from something or running to get something. They oddly become friends with the raccoons that tried to kill them throughout the whole movie which absolutely makes no sense. They didn't even actually save them, and that doesn't even make up for all the times they did try to kill them. And the raccoon guy just says at the end "I've been wanting to get rid of that job for so long" or something and I'm like he didn't want to kill them this whole time??? Why didn't he say it before then??? Why did he keep working for that old fart anyways if he didn't want to? It's not like that guy can find those raccoons anyway, it's not like they have an address or ID a or whatever. They can just run away and live their lives freely as raccoons. And cape is just gonna go back home without saying goodbye to his friends???
8 how in the world does cape know how to make an airplane?? He's like five in human years. Cape has been searching for weeks on how to make one in front of his dad and didn't notice??? How did his owner not notice?
9 capes mom is the most useless piece in this movie. We don't get to learn about her so there's not really a reason we should feel that sad for her. Why in the world was she by the window while it was thundering? That's just stupid! You have to be the biggest idiot to just walk in thunder! Cape does feel sad about his mom being dead but the movie doesn't give the time for cape to actually work out his feelings. The ending of the movie tries to work out capes feelings but the movie is already damn over so I guess that's not going to happen! The cover of this movie doesn't even show the depression this movie presents. They ain't ever happy in this movie. Why do we need another movie named "cats"? Are you too lazy to think of something better?
10 The ending is so rushed, we don't even get to see cape and his dad going back home we only kind of see it in the credits like how lazy can you be??? They spend 1$ on trying to make those credits fun to watch.
Seriously this is one of the worst movies I have ever witnessed. I'd rather look at the wall for 24 hours than watch this again. I hope every person who worked on this movie is goin to hell cause y'all lazy asffff.
