"In 1995, Andy got a toy. That toy was based on a movie. This is that movie. "
I think I would've gotten more out of this if they'd left out that opening text. "Lightyear" is a decent space adventure movie, the visuals are pretty great and Chris Evans gives a strong performance.
But the idea that the Tim Allen Buzz we all know and love came from this movie . . . Eh, I just couldn't get there. There's a bigger "Top Gun" vibe going on here than anything "Toy Story" related and "Maverick" did a much better job of living with failure.
I admit I walked into this with low expectations (really, was anyone asking for this movie?) but the Toy Story association is totally forced.
