First off, for better or worse, this has nothing to do with Toy Story - absolutely nothing.
That out the way this is a well made animated movie about Buzz trying to get home.
There are some really clever ideas here - the main aspect here is that Buzz experiences time dilation every time he attempts a test flight - flinging him into the future.
There are some nice characters and some touching moments as Buzz lives his life outside time.
For the first third of this film I was really engaged and settled down to enjoy this.
Unfortunately, outside of the time dilation, this film is very empty.
The characters run around waving their hands in the air screaming, not really doing much.
When it all comes to the crunch the ending is predictable (I can forgive that) but makes no sense - on any level really.
All that running around is revealed as even more pointless than it first appeared.
This is fine.
You can stick it on and watch it with the kids. There are a few jokes that land and the cat is cute. But in a months time you will probably struggle to remember if you watched this.
