Jude Law in “Skeleton Crew” and more stars from a galaxy far, far away
Synopsis
Four children make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. The holographic circus that Neel’s younger siblings are entertained by is the same one Chewbacca’s family watches in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
He stars in the cast of Crazy Cartoon AniMat: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
I approach this review with caution, admitting that “Skeleton Crew” seems to be aimed at a younger audience. While kids may enjoy it, I found the first four episodes quite disappointing.
The war setting feels superficial, and the action sequences don’t have the impact they should have
The story lacks depth, feeling more like a children’s movie that jumps from place to place without much consequence. The acting, while not terrible, could have been better, especially considering the caliber of some of the cast.
Even Jude Law seems to be doing a bit of a sloppy job at times
The writing is impressive, but it can’t save the story, which feels slow and ultimately forgettable. Perhaps the series improves later on, but based on my first viewing, I’m still not convinced.
Prove me wrong!
