Dr. Fortyseven 🥃 █▓▒░<p>I knew absolutely nothing going in. I saw a clip on TikTok where <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Nimona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nimona</span></a> first meets Ballister, and she had a very funny "Bugs Bunny" vibe. That was enough to sell me on it.</p><p>So imagine my shock finding it's set in a "cyberpunk Camelot" of sorts. </p><p>And I had no idea about the shape-shifting element.</p><p>Interestingly the setting doesn't seem to add much to the story that couldn't have been done in a more traditional era. But it IS a refreshing and welcome twist.</p><p>The cast is quite good; Chloë Grace Moretz, especially, sells the chaos-maker-masking-deep-pain of it all.</p><p>The climax of the film really hit me hard, seeing this poor aching creature resorting to something I wouldn't have expected to see in an animated feature.</p><p>Excellent film, filled with a lot of heart.</p><p>My only real beef is the last couple seconds of the film. I'd have had much more respect if they'd left things on the note that it did. Much like Speilberg's "A.I.", it goes on a beat too long, unable to commit to a meaningful, melancholy ending. (Which is what dinged it a star, for me.)</p><p>Real good stuff, otherwise!</p><p>4.5/5</p>
