I was so excited to watch it the first time I saw the Bee Movie in movie trailers but I have to admit that after watching it, I am quite disappointed. The graphics and animation was nicely presented but the storyline is not that good.
The storyline is more or less about a perfect society - in this case, the society inside a beehive. Everything is just as they should be. No traffic jams, everything is timed to the last second, everybody loves to work, and the entire hive is happy. One bee however wishes to go out of the norm and so he did. The movie was interesting enough to keep me awake but not enough to really impress me. One thing I noticed though is that movie could be geared towards anti-racism. Not sure though but the thought came to me when the main character referred angrily to the “white men”.
Perhaps my disappointment arose due to the fact that I enter the movie theater with my “child brain” - you see, the story is not really for kids but for adults but you can take the kids with you nonetheless. One nice part was Bee Larry King and to that I did laugh.
I’ll give the movie a 3 out of 5 but I still recommend it for watching as it’s not really bad. And oh, it’ll come out on DVD this March 2008.
