Entergalactic is a very well-animated movie that came out in 2022 and can be seen on Netflix. It came out with Kid Cudi’s album of the same name, blending the colorful animation with a romantic story. This movie follows Jabari, an artist who has just signed with a comic book company to have his character turned into a book, and his romance with his neighbor, Meadow
One of the best parts about Entergalactic is the animation style, similar to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. This movie’s use of harsh lines and so many different colors brings New York City to life as a vibrant backdrop for artistic expression. The music, primarily Kid Cudi’s, helps the visuals in a pleasing way that enhances the emotional depth of important scenes without overpowering them
The movie is centered around Jabari and Meadow’s growing relationship, which is both charming and not overdone. While the romance is nice, having a lot of emotion and growth, the story is pretty straight shot with plot devices more than challenges. The movie tries to balance ambitions with personal relationships is relatable but not gone over in this movie. Even with this, the chemistry between the leads is so strong, making their romance engaging to watch
Jabari and Meadow are likeable characters, but the way they develop is limited by the focus on the romance. Supporting characters, voiced by actors like Vanessa Hdgens and Timothée Chalamet, add depth but aren’t fully explained. The movie goes through themes of heartbreak and career goals but doesnt dive deep enough to give a real idea of what their plans are.
“Entergalactic” is a visually stunning film with a charming love story. While it may lack story depth, its vibrant animation and Kid Cudi’s soundtrack make it a worthwhile watch, especially for fans of the artist. The movie’s themes of love and creativity are beautifully captured, even if they are not explored in great detail.
