Jude Law in "Skeleton Crew" plus more stars from a galaxy far, far away
Synopsis
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy.. The holographic circus that is entertaining Neel's young siblings is the same one Chewbacca's family watched in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)..
Featured in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
I'm approaching this review cautiously, acknowledging that 'Skeleton Crew' appears to be targeted towards a younger audience. While children may enjoy it, I found the first four episodes quite underwhelming.The story lacks depth, feeling more like a children's movie that jumps from location to location without much consequence.
Even Jude Law, at times, seems to be phoning it in
The war backdrop feels superficial, and the action sequences lack the impact they should have.The acting, while not terrible, could be stronger, especially considering the caliber of some of the cast members. The production design is impressive, but it can't save a story that feels slow-paced and ultimately rather forgettable.Perhaps the series improves later on, but based on my initial viewing, I remain unconvinced.
Please prove me wrong!
