A lot of movie fans will yawn and say ‘been there, done that’ when they see the premise of the movie. Like Blair Witch, Cloverfield and so many others, it’s all told from the point of view of camcorders and in-story camera footage.

The scenes, characters, lines, premise and influence of the six-part saga are so entrenched in our culture and so much on instant recall to the whole of Generations X and Y that satirising them from your unique perspective is a shoe in for critical success.

There was something missing from The Incredibles, and this film is — while not a misstep — one of Pixar’s rare films that lacks a certain distinction. It’s nice, it’s cute, it’s sweet, it’s funny and it’s even sad, but the X factor from Toy Story, Finding Nemo and Wall.E that’s hard to pinpoint just isn’t to be found here.
