"Inside Out 2" is one of those rare films that leaves you feeling understood, reminding you that you're not alone in experiencing complex emotions.
The movie brilliantly captures the ups and downs we all face in life, portraying them in a way that feels both relatable and comforting.
What makes it even more remarkable is its ability to resonate with viewers of all ages. We watched it with a mixed group, from children to adults, and everyone connected with it on some level.
The film balances humour and wit with deeply heartfelt moments, making for an emotional yet uplifting experience. As a sequel, it succeeds spectacularly, continuing the legacy of the first film while adding new layers of insight.
It's a beautifully crafted story that delves into the intricacies of human emotions while still being accessible and enjoyable for all. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a movie that's as thoughtful as it is entertaining.

In terms of when this is set, it's important to remember it's just before the original series with Kirk and way before The Next Generation. You need to take this into account when evaluating, looking at what the mission is, looking at the sets, costumes and all round character of the show.
It has embraced that which we're all used to from that era of the Trek universe.
The rule breaking, edge of your seat decision making, pushing boundaries, constant uncertainty and volatility, tongue in cheek scenarios, a healthy dose of sarcasm, wit and humour all mixed with a decent amount of action, wide variety of aliens and great effects and CGI.
Anson Mount nails Pike. Particularly as a predecessor to Kirk who was a happy maverick. The surrounding cast just excel it even further and it's tough to fault any of them.
The mention of other reviewers with "wokeness" I believe are mixing it up with ethnic diversity, which is beautiful and rich across the entire cast.
If you're looking for wokeness and a trek through emotions.......watch Star Trek Discovery.
This, nails what Star Trek is. Great stories, on a 5 year mission with wonderful diversity and a fresh take on that era of the trek universe.
Long may it last. They have so many possibilities to deepen a lot of the characters and expand the universe even further.

More emotions. More apologies. More feelings.
Did the writers not get hugged enough as a child?
Please make the pain and drama stop. Take a leaf out of The Wrath of Khan. One of the most emotional Star Trek viewings, but they didn't shove it down your throat at every turn. It all built to a crescendo at a pivotal moment.
If the show keeps this up I'm pretty sure we'll become desensitized to emotions completely (yes....it's that bad).
If any of these characters that the writers have forged were to go through a psychological assessment for traveling in space I'm pretty sure they'd fail.
This episode once again has a story that could be told in 5 mins without all of the personal issues that have to be extrapolated at a painful speed.
Change the writing, or change the writers. The cast are great. They just have a load of crap to work with.
