In Disney's live-action reimagining of the beloved animated adventure, Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia) answers the Ocean's call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the barrier reef of her island of Motunui. Accompanied by the infamous demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson), she undertakes an unforgettable, action-packed voyage to recover the heart of Te Fiti, restore the prosperity of her community, and fulfill her ancestors' quest to become a master wayfinder.
This is by far Disney's biggest money grab of a live action remake. First off - the original only came out 10 years ago and just had an animated sequel last year. It is waaaaaaaaaay too soon to do the live action version of this and I can't help but think it was The Rock's ego needing to play the live action Maui that got this fast tracked like it was. And then for the movie to be a carbon copy of the animated version that feels like it just came out makes it even more pointless. But worst of all is that going from an animated movie to live action but still using so much CGI instead of all the location stuff feeling genuine at least makes it such a rip off.
I honestly wouldn't bother recommending this to people. Just rewatch the original animated version that is much better in every way.
