Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017) IMDB
Here I was minding my business, watching a Smurfs movie because….I’m not sure why I was watching this movie to be honest. Anyway it is an adventure movie that is led by Smurfette (voiced by Demi Lovato) and her quest through the Forbidden Forest with a few pals. And as is the case with any quest a maze or puzzle is part of it, because all good quests need obstacles/things to be overcome to move the story forward. In this movie we have the group caught underground, and lost in what they call mazelike pathways. We never see the maze, only the white of their eyes against a black background, but they say it’s a maze, so since I was not there (I would make a so-so animated character at best), it was a maze. How do they escape ? If you said by riding what looked to be radioactive bunny rabbits out you are the winner winner of a chicken dinner. Other things happen…blah blah Gargamel…blah blah… Papa Smurf…blah blah… Azrael….blah blah…a song and we learned something. The End.
So how is this movie ? Well, exactly how you think it would be. This isn’t the type of movie you stumble upon. You watch it with intention.
I give it a 5.4/10.
