Chupa

It is almost impossible not to like the teeth-full creature named Chupa. Irresistible cuteness, talks and acts like the most sought-after children's toy. Incredibly creative CGIs bring up the emotions of the cuddly creature at the forefront and establish a believable real bond between the children and the creature.

The director Jonas Quaron also co-written "Gravity" another CGI masterpiece, with his father Alfonso Quaron. And there's no doubt that the same creative genius played the role in developing the character of Chupa.

Alex (Evan Whitten) was sent by his mother to visit his paternal grandfather (Demian Bichir). Alex feels alone ever since the loss of his father and immediately connects to the creature who is also young and lost his parents.

It is a great children's story. It's also great for adults who like children's stories.

As a child from the 70s and 80s, this movie brought me back there. This movie reminded me of what kids movies should be. No agenda. No politics. Just fun. This movie reminded me of what watching movies as a kid was like and should be like. I watched this movie with my 11 year old daughter and she has never watched a movie with me since she was born. However, to night, we watched this together. Just us and we laughed together. Not only did this movie remind me of the lost innocence of a culture, it reminded me of the importance of just enjoying something with your kid. Is this movie great? No. Is it worth it? Absolutely. It's written like it came from a kid from the 80's and I appreciate it very much. Thank you and I mean that.

What a nice film Chupa was. The design of the creature himself was nice and I liked how it was done. This movie is about a boy named alex, played by evan whitten. He is sent by his mother to mexico to be with grandfather and cousins. Demian bichir was good here and I enjoyed him in the nun as well. So it was nice seeing him in more of a family film and had so charm to him to. Christian slater is the hunter quinn but we dont really see a lot. More to the story it was nice watching the journey and it was just cute. Overall chupa was a nice family movie with a good cast but also it had real heart and shows how a simple movie can sometimes be more enjoyable than a loud hollywood one.

Very apt message and very well communicated by the director and screenplay. VFX could be better.the film connect with the audience very smoothly and story carry forward in a smooth fashion. Acting of every character and specially child artists are very good and flows with the story.build up of story and ending could be more elaborative but this can not be the fact which can negate it positive points.one should watch it with family and kids to generate a sense of culture, imp of joint family, conservation of endangered animals, compassion towards animals and importance of always attached to our roots.

Relax with the hate. 5.6 is too little for this movie. It is a family movie, nothing more, and it is a funny and motivational one.

The CGI Chupacabras is nice, I dare to say since Falkor from "The NeverEnding Story" (1984) and Gizmo from "Gremlins" (1984) a furry creature wasn't so sympathetic and warmth. It would be a nice pet, expensive to feed but nice.

Hope all people out there watch the movie with their kids, remember their roots and their late fathers. Don't be grumpy, smile for a change and understand that Chupa is not a Academy Award or Festival movie, because is not pretentious like "Shazam: Fury of Gods", Chupa is simple and that's why it is enjoyable, though.
