Jude Law stars in Skeleton Crew; and more stars from a galaxy far, far away
Narrative
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that lands them lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. The holographic circus that entertains the young Neel siblings is the same Chewbacca family watch from the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
AniMat’s insane animated feature Cast: Stupid Old Death Bear (2022)
I approach this review with caution, admitting that ‘Skeleton Crew’ seems to be aimed at a younger audience. While kids might enjoy it, I found the first four episodes to be quite bland.
The war backdrop feels superficial, and the action sequences don’t have the impact they should have
The story lacks depth, more like a kids’ movie that jumps from place to place without much consequence. The acting, while not terrible, could be stronger, especially considering the caliber of some of the actors.
At times, it feels like even Jude Law is calling the shots
The production design is impressive, but it can’t save a story that feels slow and ultimately quite forgettable. Perhaps the series has improved since then, but based on my initial viewing, I was left unconvinced.
Please prove me wrong!
