Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "What Lives Inside" is an American mini-series from last year that consists of 4 episodes that run for an average of 11 minutes each, so the entire thing does not even run for 45 minutes and can easily be watched during one sitting. The cast is pretty spectacular. It includes Emmy and Golden globe nominee Colin Hanks, Emmy winners Catherine O'Hara and Keith David and, last but not least, Oscar winner J.K. Simmons. And the crew also includes several Oscar nominees. The story is about a man whose father, a famous puppeteer, dies and the man now does not only has to deal with his grief and the idea that his father was maybe to all children on the planet a better dad than to his own, but he has to deal with a whole new fantastic world. The visual side of this film is the real strength and the story is fine too. There isn't one area where this mini-series is really breathtaking, but the complete package has no weakness either and is a pretty good watch from start to finish. Simmons is great to watch as always. I recommend checking this one out and I'd probably have watched as well if this was a full feature of 90-100 minutes. Thumbs up.

Evan Stark Well where to start, I enjoyed it? I mean it had a lot of problems. First and foremost is the product placement. It can be really in your face at times. Sometimes it drifts away and you can forget that this is in fact a really long commercial. But then, BAM! there it is again.Next is the dialogue. It felt like either it was missing vast chunks of it, especially in conversations with the mother. She would suddenly start conversations with some bit that felt like it should come closer toward the middle of the conversation, I get that this was a short little CGI romp to sell a product (let's not even pretend that it's anything else), but then why fill it with characters like that? I kept on feeling like I was missing something or worse yet that some bits were cut out, like incomplete conversations masquerading as complete ones.In the end it is a story about a man who through a series of trips into an imaginary realm decides to keep his father's work going. A good story, but bogged down with lots and lots of product placement and some really strange conversation scenes.

Sebastian Heron It's difficult to describe such a strange experience, sometimes this piece had me in awe; as seemingly dated graphics pleased the eye. On the contrary however, the poor acting (particularly from Colin Hanks) could have been what changed this series from quality to mediocre.Sadly the fact that this was an advert, as opposed to a short film was its greatest mistake, it made constant reference to the Dell tablet it was advertising, even to the point of suggesting it was some kind of "worldly device".Overall it was a decent show, it was hard to forget that it was an advert due to the way the show presented itself, however it had a sweet story and attractive CGI and it even managed (rarely be it) to make me think I was watching a movie/TV show instead of an advert, which is sadly really rare in this kind of media.Bare in mind that this is not compared against any other TV series or movies, this is rated based on its quality as a web series. For which I felt it excelled in.

twinigor In recent years, it is one of the best science fiction films. But why so little is always good :) All good, but the series is very short! Though the beginning and turned dramatic, the film makes you wait for something good. Graphics on top! I have not seen such a bright, colorful and fantastic images and characters. Game actors - at the height of the atmosphere is transferred to 100%. I would recommend to stay in a feature film for a fascinating story. I hope that the film will get a good score and remove the second season. Tips for viewing adult, children, families. Always wondered why you can not let the whole season, because the series is very short? We would wait for the next episode!
