Isle of Dogs

Movie šŸŽ„ Review: ā€œIsle of Dogsā€. Critics gave it a 91% the users an 88%.

Background: When, by executive decree, all the canine pets of Megasaki City are exiled to a vast garbage-dump called Trash Island, 12-year-old Atari sets off alone in a miniature Junior-Turbo Prop and flies across the river in search of his bodyguard-dog, Spots. There, with the assistance of a pack of newly-found mongrel friends, he begins an epic journey that will decide the fate and future of the entire Prefecture.

This is a Wes Anderson directed movie and as all of his previous movies such as Fantastic Mr Fox, Moonrise Kingdom & The Budapest Hotel (just to name a few), you know you're in for an interesting/intriguing ride! I personally was enamored with Moonrise Kingdom and Budapest Hotel. But keep in mind these are some weirdly addicting films.

With Isle of Dogs the cast of voices are filled with the likes of Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Liev Schreiber, Scarlet Johansson, Ken Watanabe and many more.

Although you may not be able to put your finger on it, its a hand-crafted adventure through garbage, fire and bureaucracy that absolutely has a dog star heart!!

If your a Wes Anderson fan don't miss this masterpiece!
