I don't know why I always act surprised when an animated movie makes me emotional, like Coco, Pokemon: The First Movie, and A Silent Voice didn't emotionally wreck me. But that's exactly how I felt after watching Entergalactic.
I'd describe Entergalactic as the the creative love-child of musician Kid Cudi, because not only did he create and star in the rom-com, but the film also serves as the visuals for his album of the same name.
Kid Cudi managed to perfectly weave together a realistic story of how a chance encounter with a stranger can blossom into a sublime journey of unexpected bliss.
From the stacked cast, which includes Jessica Williams, Timothée Chalamet, Laura Harrier, Vanessa Hudgens, Teyana Taylor, Ty Dolla $ign, and more...
...to storylines exploring the beauty and pain of letting go...
...to the meticulous details incorporated in each character and scene, like their clothing and colloquialisms...everything just felt right.
And I'd truly be doing the film a disservice if I didn't mention the soundtrack. Kid Cudi knew which songs would evoke the strongest emotions during just the right scenes.
I typically like my rom-coms with a side order of cheese, but this project had me smiling at the screen without the added fluff. It was truly refreshing, which is probably why I watched it more than once.
But I wasn't the only one who couldn't get enough of Entergalactic. Here's what other people were saying about it on Twitter:
