I saw Elemental last weekend, and I agree with Hatchie that it was really watchable, and quite thought-provoking.
Maybe it was just that I had very low expectations—I went to a cheapo matinee mostly because I wanted to see the new, and last, “Carl and Dug” short film from the Up universe that is viewable only as a warm-up act for Elemental in theaters—but I was pleasantly surprised.
Mind you, as I’ve acknowledged round these parts before, I personally have just about the cinematographic sensibility and sophistication of a golden retriever, so I never argue with the more sentient cinema viewers who complain about a film being visually inartistic or otherwise falling short in some technical respect. But overall, for what it’s worth, Elemental struck me as quite clever and fresh.
