 The new kings in danger. Run for your life! Get out of the way! Here's a little well-placed distraction. So we have another faith-based film on the birth of Jesus Christ. My name is Brandon Keith-Avery and this is just my opinion. Hey, what's going on everyone? It is B.A.very here for my opinion slash review for Star. I want to thank you very much for tuning in. I really do appreciate it. But before we get into the review, happy boy out go ahead and click that subscribe button become one of my subscribers.

Now, the Star is an animation adventure comedy with a couple of popular names that you may have heard of by the name of Stephen Young. He plays a donkey by the name of Bo. Keegan, Micah, Keith. He's half of the Keegan and was it Keegan? I forgot the other guy's name. I can't believe it just left me. But he is a bird by the name of Dave. And then we also have somebody named Eddie Bryant who plays a bird by the name of Ruth. This movie is being directed by Timothy Rekhardt. You probably never heard of him before. He's done like five or six short films, like animated short films. This is his first full directorial, you know, debut this animation. And, you know, for his first animation, I feel like I'm clipping her. Let me cut this down. You know, this is a pretty decent 90 minute, not even 90 minute, 86 minute animation, you know, that he kind of wanted to get his toes wet a little bit. And what the story is about is a story that you've heard a ton of times before. It is the story of the birth of Jesus Christ in Nazareth and Bethlehem and, you know, all that good stuff. I can't talk. We've probably heard the story a thousand times before, told in many different iterations, but this time they wanted to tell it again in a form of animals in this 2017 animation film. And this is going to be real short, guys. There is nothing new to this story at all. It is the exact same carbon-copied story that you've heard, like I said, a thousand times. They just try to change the perspective just a little bit and deliver it to you, you know, in the form of animals, mostly by the donkey by the name of Bo, who is being led, who is being voiced by Stephen Young. I mean, we heard this before, you know, Mary and Joseph, they're married. Mary is a virgin. God speaks to her one day. Hey, hey, you know, I'm going to come down and put my seed in you. And I want you to birth my son into the world, and he will be the king to all the people. And, you know, this is the son of God. And Joseph is like, oh my goodness, you know, I'm not responsible. Like, I'm not a responsible person. I can't do this. And, you know, a star shoots up into the sky hence the name of the movie, the star. And everybody sees the star and they just know that's the son of God and they have to go and, you know, witness the birth of Jesus Christ. And of course, you know, you have the Roman Empire, you know, that king, he's hating, he's like, no, no, no, we got to find this. We got to stop Omni King and you got the three wise men and then you got the baby and the manger and then, you know, the three kings are bringing the gold, frankincense and myrrh. And all that good stuff. It's nothing new to the story at all. Nothing new at all. The only thing that I really did like about this, and there's nothing bad about this movie. I cannot sit here and list one complaint. I just can't do that. But one thing that stood out to me is the soundtrack. The soundtrack is the only thing that was somewhat fresh and new when I saw this. Man, this movie costs $18 million. I'm looking on IMDB right now. And well, I guess that's fair, I guess. But the soundtrack, I don't know who it's by, but that was a good, oh, Mariah Carey. Okay, I do recognize her voice a little bit. The soundtrack by Mariah Carey and a few other people, that's the only thing that actually stood out to me to where when they were playing the music doing certain songs or whatever, I was like, you know, okay, I'm feeling this or whatever. It's, you know, adding a little beat here and there giving some life to the story. But there is nothing new to this story at all. There was like a couple of times to where they tried to drop a joke and I kind of chuckle like, ha, ha, ha. You know, and that's it. That maybe happened twice, maybe three times. But you know, for an 86 minute movie, I was ready to go. I've seen this story told a thousand times. It was just nothing special. It's the same thing. It was predictable. You know, it just wasn't anything new. This movie was for a little, it is not a kid-friendly movie, you know, like Cocoa Word or just any Pixar film or whatever to where, you know, it's made for adults, you know, but kids can watch it too or it's kid-friendly. This movie is tailored just for children, you know, five and below. I don't know. I don't have the children, so I don't know the ages and all that as to what they can be entertained by. But, you know, this is designed for children. It was only 86 minutes and I was just ready to go or whatever. I mean, I've heard this story a thousand times as I was like two or three years old. And even when I got a little older, I was just kind of saying to myself, you know, okay, now some of the other stuff that I used to teach me when I was a little kid doesn't make sense. And they had that little bit of that in here too as to, you know, has to deal with, you know, people's skin color and skin tone and stuff, but I'm not going to get into that now. But there's nothing bad about the movie, but there's nothing great about it either. It is just a bland movie that in my opinion I could not wait for it to be over. If I had to rate this movie out of a one out of 10, I'm going to give this the lowest possible passing grade there is in my book. And that is a six out of 10. Yes, a six out of 10. But guys, that is just my opinion for the start. Have you seen it or do you want to see it? Have I turned you on? Have I turned you off? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me?
