Elio (review)

Finally got a chance to watch the movie that bombed in theaters for Pixar.

This is way better than Inside Out 2. 

The story of a boy who wants to be abducted by aliens gets his wish and more than he asked for when he's confused as the leader of Earth and sent on a quest to stop an invasion from a menacing alien race. 

It's got humor and charm. Don't know why it bombed in theaters. Guess it looked a little too boring of an idea in the trailers? My kids wanted to try it out and in my experience, kids movies today are very bland and boring. I never know if I'm staying for the whole movie or walking out after the first 5 minutes. 

While not "great" Elio was able to get me to stay for the entire film, so it wasn't that bad at all. 

If you're bored for something to watch, you could do a lot worse than this movie.
