Brilliant and touching

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Review: Although this movie was made with young kids in mind, I didn't really find it that funny and I think that the whole animated talking vehicle concept has been a bit played out. The storyline wasn't that great and the different characters became annoying after a while. Basically Dusty, whose plays the main plane in the franchise, has found out that his parts can't be replaced after his engine gets damaged. He then joins the fire and rescue team and they embark on a massive fire which they have to join forces to put out. Not the greatest concept from the animation giants, Pixar. I found myself drifting of through the film and I felt more patronised than entertained. I'm sure that the little ones will be bugging there parents for the toys but from an adults points of view it really didn't do it for me. Disappointing!Round-Up: After watching animated movies like the Lego Movie and The Croods, I really couldn't find anything in this movie to laugh about. I know that it wasn't made for people in my age group, but when parents have to sit through the movies with there kids, they could at least put something in them for the adults. I know people that are my age that like Frozen and they know all the words to the songs so it can be easily done. Anyway, I think the distributors obviously released this movie at the right time because it nearly tripled it's budget. There will always be a massive audience for movies in this genre but thats not to say that you're guaranteed entertainment, which I surely wasn't.Budget: $50million Worldwide Gross: $146millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their animated movies about a plane who can't replace his faulty gearbox so he joins the fire & rescue team. 2/10

i have to admit i am a Disney fan and this film didn't let me down,excellent animation with lots of laughs for the entire family,if you liked cars,cars 2 , and planes you will love this movie just as much,Disney always provide the viewer with top notch computer generated characters,this movie is set in the piston peak national park of which has some beautiful landscape scenes,particularly the waterfall scenes i thought were very good .this is one film i will be adding to my collection and will watch time and time again,i have only praise for this movie and i gave it a 9 (visual stunning and a all in all good family entertaining movie ),this will be flying (pardon the pun) off the shelves at Christmas time.

Me and my kid went to see it in 3D on a rainy Friday afternoon. I was not expecting much having seen the first. Ended up i loved this second one twice as much as the first. I thought it was enjoyable for the daddies and very cool for the kids. Compared to the first this one has more exciting scenes and the graphics are nicer. Story is also funny and has very good characters.It's got all the typical Disney ingredients so if you loved cars and planes already you will love this one too.Go watch it it's me recommendations. Greetings from the Netherlands and ka-ciao!

The first "Planes" was a pleasant surprise. It may have had practically the same "race-against-all-odds" story as "Cars", "Turbo" and many other animated films. But "Planes" still managed to be distinct and charming on its own, for both kids and adults.We get a lot of this homespun country charm again in this second installment called "Planes: Fire and Rescue." Our hero cropduster Dusty is having problems with his gear box and cannot push his engine to racing anymore. A fire at his hangar revealed the inadequacy of the fire-fighting capabilities of his area, so Dusty decided to try and have himself accredited as a Fire-Fighter. For adults, this may be an average affair for the most part. Even my tween kids did not too interested about watching it. Personally, my favorite part was when it was revealed that Dusty's stern mentor Blade Ranger (authoritatively voiced by Ed Harris) was once an actor in a TV cop-show called "CHoPs", which had the very familiar theme song of 70's motorcycle cop show "CHiPs"! The nostalgia brought a smile to my face.The story is pretty slim, standard and predictable, so this episode spent a lot of time showing grand forest vistas, amazingly realistic and scary fire scenes and more amazing aerial feats by Dusty and the other fire-fighting aircraft. Despite the fact that this is a film for kids, I give it props for tackling a form of heroism not usually shown on the big screen -- fire and rescue teams.
