Koty Ermitazha

I went into the cinema with a headache and When I when I came out, it was gone because the movie was more painful. I wish I was blind while watching this movie. The voice acting was horrible. It seems like the kind of narrative I wrote in primary school. I can't believe Reading Cinemas let this in. If I was a teacher scoring this movie I would've given it to 20%. I would tell the student to go work at McDonald's because there would be no hope for them. The only positive is, that is how hard we laughed at the reviews, writing them. Biting, my tongue was more enjoyable than watching this movie. It seems like some sort of 2012 series on Netflix. They wouldn't let criminals watch this movie, because it would be considered cruel and unusual punishment. If it was possible, I would give it a zero it doesn't deserve the one star that you're forcing me to give it. If anyone has plans of going to this movie, cancel it and fly to another country. At the start of the movie, the screen was black and it wasn't working. I wish it happened throughout the whole movie because watching it made me rethink my life decisions. The moral of the story is to read reviews before you watch a movie. If you're thinking about bringing anyone you love to this don't. Watching this movie I thought I had died and gone to hell, and this was my punishment. Cinemas needs to watch movies before they let them into the cinema. Do not watch this movie. I'm begging you.

I feel like kids films are going to be a trial ground for producers, companies and studios to see if audiences will consume AI content without noticing it's AI. That's what this movie felt like...a film written, structured, and performed by AI...and there's a couple of others I've watched on Netflix recently that feel similar.

It felt extremely unemotional and detached. The structure felt formulaic but in a way that just didn't feel like humans were behind it making the said formulaic mistakes, if that makes sense? Performances felt like they were built on a voice artist recording their voice for 2 hours and then AI increased the vocabulary and filled in the blanks. Just an incredibly aloof feeling watching this. My 4 year old said it was boring. Kids are human too and know when something is wafer thin.

We took our grandchildren, ages 8 & 6, to see this film. They enjoyed the story, characters & could identify some of the paintings being featured, especially the 'Mona Lisa'! The central character experiences quite a few hair-raising adventures, and must work his way between the demands of friendship and danger, and is finally rewarded by the love of a beautiful lady.

We also enjoyed the film, having visited The Hermitage in St. Petersburg several times, pre-COVID19.

If I had any criticism, it would be the voices chosen for English-Language dubbing. A bewildering mix of Irish, Scots & Middle American do not sit well with the characters & there are more than enough well trained voiceover actors to be found in either Russia or the Baltic Republics who would have done a far better job.

I joined IMDB just to warn people about this movie.

If there's someone you genuinely hate tell them to see this movie.

Terrible animation, terrible voice over, painful storyline ... painful in general.

I can't believe I spent money on seeing it.

My kids begged me to leave.

That's time I'll never get back.

Picture this... the worst thing you've ever seen.

The worst.

Did any cinemas even view it before adding it to their movie showings?

I've never left a bad review in my life. But it would be actually wrong of me to say nothing.

Save your money. Save your time.

Not just disappointing actually shockingly bad. Don't do it to yourself or anyone you love.

Took my 8 year old granddaughter to this film as she wanted to see it (it had Cats in the title), that was the best thing about the film.

The storyline is nonexistent, every attempt at a plot is a complete load of nonsense, whether this is because of a failure in the translation from Russian or just a complete failure of the writers and directors of how to tell a story I just do not understand, it's a mixed up jumble of rubbish! At the end of film she asked me what I thought of it and I had to be honest and say how awful it was, she breathed a sigh of relief as she was worried to tell me that she just could not comprehend what she had just watch!

One to avoid at ALLL costs.

This is the WORST film I have ever seen in my life!!!
