Moana— Movie Review
M oana was released on November 23, 2016 The fictional movie takes place 3,000 years ago. In the islands of Polynesia, an area that includes Hawaii, Tonga and Tahiti.
The star is 16-year-old Moana, voiced by Hawaiian actress Auli ' i Cravalho, who goes on an ocean voyage with Maui, voiced by Dwayne“ The Rock” Johnson. The movie Moana is about an adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master way finder. And fulfill her ancestors ' unfinished quest. During her journey, Moana meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui, and together, they traverse the open ocean on an actionpacked voyage, encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds. Moana is a good movie to watch with your family its funny adventurous and sad. My favorite part of the movie was when Moana was singing to the volcano in order to restore the heart of Tifiti.
This movie has a lot of singing and many funny scenes in which you will laugh and many children enjoy this movie including my little brother Steven. I went to watch the movie with my family as soon as it was released my family enjoyed the movie and had a fun time. My little brother laughed a lot during the movie and he enjoyed it as well.
Some things I did not like about the movie is there was a lot of singing it got to much at times. Also, someone died and I don’ t think anyone should die in a kids movie. Also, Moana ' s dad was a little to aggressive I think toward Moana. But other than that I liked the movie it was funny and enjoyable and adventurous. It is a good movie for kids to watch and for families to watch as well.
Also, Moana is shown as a strong independent young girl who is sending a message in this particular movie. I think that message is that we should conquer our fears and we are all independent individuals and that anything is possible. We can do anything and even after someone dies they are still with us spiritually. We should face our challenges in life by being fearless and strong and by hard work and dedication.
In conclusion, The movie Moana is about an adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master way finder. And fulfill her ancestors ' unfinished quest. During her journey, Moana meets the oncemighty demi-god Maui, and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds. And Moana is a good movie to watch with your family and friends.
