Elio Review

     Is there life beyond Earth? Journey to the cinema to find out in Pixar's latest and first Sci-Fi adventure: Elio. Elio is a young boy, who having recently lost his parents goes to live with his aunt. Unable to find a place to belong in his new life, Elio looks to space to find his place. Pixar is known for it's touching animated features and shorts, which often tackle complex emotions. Their films are aimed at viewers of all ages, which tends to result in life-long fans. We have seen Pixar bring to life; toys, cars, bugs and fish, now they've turned their unique creative powers to aliens, in a refreshingly original feature: Elio. So does Elio make contact with outer-space and steal our hearts in the process or does it fail to launch? Read on for my full review.  Elio (Jonas Kibreab) is a lonely kid, who feels like a inconvenience to his aunt Olga (Zoe SaldaƱa) and an outsider on Earth. This is a kid not grappling with the overused 'misunderstood' trope but rath...

WandaVision Trailer Reaction

Marvel fans we finally have some new content! We've had a year of setbacks and for the first time in over ten years we might not get to see a Marvel movie at the cinema. It has been a very empty year for us! But we finally have a WandaVision trailer and a 2020 release date. I am so excited for this show, which will be available to stream on Disney Plus later this year. Wanda has been one of my favourite characters and I have my heart set on her having a villain arch in the MCU.  There is a lot to unpack in the trailer so I thought I would do one of my trailers reactions. Watch the trailer below and read on to see my reaction! I would love to know what you thought of the trailer so please leave a comment below. 
  • So, it looks like at least some of the show will be in black and white. 
  • I love the old timey music.
  • Our first glimpse of Vision, it looks like he will be in both forms throughout the show. 
  • Wanda wants them to fit in. She wants them to be normal, which is not surprising considering everything she has been through and lost. 
  • Although Wanda as a 1940's housewife is giving me the creeps. 
  • Wanda's magic looks a little different here. 
  • The sit-com vibe is real, and so different to anything we have seen in the MCU so far. 
  • There are some clear cracks in what Wanda has created. It seems like her powers have expended exponentially to the point where she has created a small 'pocket' universe where her version of the perfect simple life can exist. But it seems like things may not always run smoothly. I wonder what effect this will have on reality. 
  • Okay so the twins! The twins exist in this reality, which is cute but to what extent are they real, do they just exist in this reality? They could be more for Wanda to lose. 
  • So, it looks like Vision (the one created or revived by Wanda) has left the 'pocket' universe. It is very interesting that he has the infinity stone in his head. Clearly the reality Wanda has created can be crossed over with reality. 
  • Rumour has it that Agnes is possibly Agatha Harkness, a powerful witch. This is a very interesting theory and it could be cool to see Wanda face another witch. 
  • Loving the vintage Wanda and Vision costumes! If only we could do Halloween this year!
  • It looks like whenever Wanda doesn't like something she simply uses her magic to change things. 
  • Okay okay okay, thats the child from Captain Marvel! Monic Rambeau is all grown up and seemingly caught up in Wanda's reality bending. I cannot wait for this!
  • These shots of helicopters and flood lighting remind me of the S.H.I.E.L.D days! These shots make me think Wanda could be in some big trouble. 
  • 'We are an unusual couple' I think this is going to be an unusual show. 

This trailer looks so good! I feel like we have barely seen anything and yet seen so much. I think this show is going to be mind bending and full of hidden hints. I am a little worried that WandaVision is the first MCU show to release on Disney Plus as Falcon and Winter Solider was meant to be first. But honestly this is the show I have been most looking forward to and this trailer does not disappoint! This looks like it might be the perfect lead into Dr. Strange and the Multi-verse of Madness! I am still waiting for Wanda to bring her brother back to life - just imagine if that happens in this show!! Ahhh I cannot wait!

Thank you for reading! Please let me know what you think in the comments below xx
