Review of Captain EO

Captain EO (1986)
5/10
Entertaining, but really stupid.
24 February 2007
Stars: Michael Jackson and Anjelica Houston.

This 3-D ex-Disneyland attraction, while being a fond memory of mine, is no where near as good as any other 3-D attraction. The plot (if there was one) is courageous Captain Eo and his band of costumed characters and puppets get stranded on a planet with an evil queen (Houston). The first half of this seemed like it could possibly be a theatrically released film. The second half is a long music video that makes you wonder why there was a first half, when the conflict would be solved by Michael Jackson using his amazing song powers to turn the Queen's men in to dancers. Even with the big name actor/singer and the great director Francis Ford Copolla, this still couldn't be as good as the other attractions.

My rating: ** out of ****.
