.TheLionKing review: Everything looks SO real.
9:00 AM PDT, July 11, 2019opens with a picturesque frame of the sun rising over the Pride Lands, the African plains set against the gauzy reds and oranges of the skyline like one of those too-stunning-to-be-real screensavers when your AppleTV goes to sleep. Except this isn't real. The entire film has been painstakingly, awe-inspiringly constructed from 1s and 0s to look as close to live action as technologically possible, but like the 1994 original, thisYou forget that though, to a degree.
The very nature of telling this story photorealistically gives and takes away, providing a new experience no matter how much the story beats line up with what came before. Gone is the cartoonish emoting of the animated lions, as real lions don't exactly emote, aside from the occasional snarl. That emotional heft is left for the voice cast to carry.
