What to say about Cars 3? I can’t compare it to Cars 2 since I never saw that one since I heard it wasn’t as good as the original. Yes, the original Cars is a hard act to follow, but Cars 3 compares favorably even if it doesn’t quite reach it’s heights. What is Cars 3 about? Basically Lightning McQueen has a mid-life crisis.
It all starts with these new cars with new technology. When Lightning McQueen is injured in a race, he decides that he still loves racing and wants to come back stronger than ever. Enter newcomer Cruz Ramirez, a trainer whose task it is to get Lighning McQueen back to and better than top form. Both learn some lessons. Cruz learns the value of older ways of doing things, and the value of her own dreams. Lightning gains some new perspectives on life and on racing. The end comes full circle with the first movie and is quite satisfying.
There are some heartwarming moments, and some great races. Children will enjoy this one, and fans of the original Cars will find much to appreciate as well. Another masterpiece from Pixar.
