From Zero to Hiro

Dreamworks Animation is back and this time, we're treated to a futuristic movie called Big Hero 6, which is about a young teen dealing with the death of his older brother, Tadashi, and the arrival of a super-villain, who caused it.

Hiro Hamada, 14, is the bot fighter turned hero and the main protagonist of the movie. After discovering a super-villain stole his invention and caused his brother's death, Hiro teams up with his brother's healthcare bot, Baymax to fight the villain. While at first overpowered by him, Hiro and Baymax overcome the villain with the help of Tadashi's college friends, consisting of Gogo, Honeylemon, Washbi and Fred. They uncover the villain's motive and stop him from gaining revenge on the man he holds responsible.

The movie itself was created by Dreamworks Animation, who created classics such as How to Train your Dragon, Rise of the Guardians and Shrek. And while this was a good movie, I did feel it lack a certain 'oof' that usually comes with Dreamworks. I saw a lot of similarities in the flight scene to Dragons with the only real difference been that it's Hiro and Baymax, not Hiccup and Toothless. Having said that, there were a lot of parts of the movie that I did enjoy and I would recommend it to my friends. There is a good amount of comedy in it, mostly provided by the character Fred, but there is also a good storyline to it. I really liked how we were lead to believe that it was just a basic supervillain but then found out that he was actually after revenge for his daughter's supposed death all along. I also loved how Baymax and Hiro then went onto to save the villain's daughter, who had been in hypersleep along in the portal's space. I would definitely watch it again and intend to buy it on DVD.

In conclusion, I think Dreamworks haven't disappointed with this film and overall, I give it a rating of 7 out of 10.
