Critics Consensus

Lightyear settles for being a rather conventional origin story instead of reaching for the stars, but this gorgeously animated adventure ably accomplishes its mission of straightforward fun.

Audience Says

Even if it doesn't quite measure up to Toy Story, Lightyear offers an entertaining -- although somewhat complicated -- origin story for the beloved title character.

There are some striking designs and a few hat-tips to 2001: A Space Odyssey. But it all feels a bit perfunctory, like a successful launch that has no destination among the stars or anywhere else.

Rated: 2/5

Pixar is encouraging us to dream about a reality in which we could’ve received an Alisha action figure for our birthdays.

The Chris Evans film has little soul, spark and moving moments.

Cinema Crazed

Despite some small throwbacks to “Toy Story,” Angus McLane’s film is a darn good time that can stand on its own two feet...

The film offers a good balance between emotion and comedy, although at times the development of the action is hindered by the constant difficulties on Buzz. Despite this, Lightyear is a very entertaining proposal for both adults and children.

Rated: 7/10

Lightyear exceeds all expectations for me & truly goes to infinity & Beyond… an emotional thrilling space Epic that is a true marvel to see in IMAX. This is an incredible experience that I cannot wait to see again! One of Pixar’s Best.

I actually fell asleep on this multiple times lol. The story was okay, but it lacked the Pixar charm.

While not necessarily a film that goes to infinity and beyond, Lightyear did have some stunning animation, characters, and a somewhat emotional ride of a tale. Still this was not enough for a film coming out of the Pixar we all used to know and love.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Brandon Richardson

Lightyear is not PIXAR’s most creative film. Its story is very stale and falls flat. And yet through all the nonsense it still has enough humor, action, and excellent animation that provides a simple, entertaining way to pass the time.
