Review of Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) by Scottsmi8 — 08 Feb 2019

Ralph's sequel moves almost entirely away from games and explores a visualized internet in the same way Inside Out visualized an emotional brain. I left feeling worse about the state of the internet, as the movie largely props up some somewhat sad trends: 1) Kids obsession with superficial fun (emoji's and silly shareable things, which is mostly fine) and 2) Kids idolization of internet popularity and fame, and the goal of gaining it through whatever means possible.

I left feeling a mix of 'blah' and 'I've seen this before' - The finale, while computationally a feat, seemed more creepy than cool.
