PLANES (Theatrical Release USA 2013)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì

Planes becomes, basically, a Cars movie with planes and lacks the excitement of Cars 1,2, and 3 combined. Not one of Disney’s best due to the lack of originality and the copy-cat feeling an audience may experience. Children, however, will love it and it is worth a watch.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. The movie, a good choice for children, may not be the best choice for an adult’s time and money.
