Thanks Kevin.

How impressive are the environments in this film? They look spectacular. I'm still wondering where the story for this film is actually going, although no doubt I'll be seeing it and it will be great!

I just got to Chiang Mai today for a short stay and will miss The Good Dinosaur by 4 days!

It look good, I'm just hoping that there will be a preview before Spectre, which I'm going to see tomorrow.

So,  I'm not seeing great reviews. 

Has anyone seen it yet and able to offer an opinion?

Damn,  Australia really is behind the rest of the world on a little of movie openings. It's already on on Thailand. 

The question is whether it will still be showing if I make a special trip to see Star Wars in a few weeks when my visa runs out.

Yeah - the Disney animated releases which open in the US in November are always delayed to Boxing Day here to accommodate summer school holidays.

We get most other movies earlier though - including Star Wars which opens on the 17 Dec (a day and a half before the US).  And other films like the recent Marvel movies opened more than a week before the US (they are opening earlier in Asia and Australia to reduce piracy).

Bloody Australians,  it's that convict past. 
Did you hear  about the English tourist who rocked up at Sydney airport and when he was asked by the immigration guy if he had any criminal convictions replied "why? Is it still a requirement?" :lol:

Saw the movie yesterday excellent. The backgrounds are amazing. A reasonably simple story with some nice twists. Quite emotional in places.
Must see animation. Definitely need to see on the big screen to just see the detail of the backgrounds.

I really thought that this was the weakest Pixar offering so far (excluding a couple of sequels that we won't mention) and was a bit dissapointed by it.

I didn't see it on a big screen so I missed out on the visuals but that probably gave me a greater focus on the story, or what story there was. The characters seemed to be lacking...character and there was little tension.

Not a fan of this one.
