The science in Moana has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Moana should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

If Moana was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Moana put every joke in the trailer and then dared us to sit through the rest.

Hot Take: Moana's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Just got out of Moana and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Moana is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Moana was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Moana is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Moana performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
