![]() ![]() Why? Because they needed a love interest in the last 20 minutes for him. For example, Pitt gets a scorpion girlfriend. None of them push the narrative along, they don’t have much in terms of personalities, and sometimes, they are entirely 100% objectively pointless. The film also loves to include a slew of characters that have no real purpose for the film. You can tell that the French actors were putting more into their performances than the US cast. How do these characters reference things like Batman and Robin when they are snakes in a desert? I made it halfway through the film before I paused, switched to the French dub, and watched it with subtitles. First off, how does he have a blonde wig? Why does he talk like a surfer? Why is he a pot addict? Yes, it’s technically not pot but pollen, but it’s the same thing in terms of context. Especially that brother to the lead female, he is by far the most annoying character I have seen so far in 2017. It’s not poorly done, but I feel like they either got the wrong voice director, or the actors weren’t putting their all into it, but a lot of the characters in this film were annoying to listen to. Yeah, that’s another problem, the English dub is terrible. That’s also a problem when one of the characters you follow has a very hipster/surfer bro-style of talking that sounds way off from the original French dub of the film. He’s not a good guy or anything, but the villain of this film feels forced. Ajar is your generic lead character, Pitt the scorpion is your nervous safety-reliant friend, the female lead has no real character to her, and even the villain isn’t a super terrible guy. None of the characters are very fleshed out, and they end up getting stuck with very basic character traits. ![]() I don’t think I have ever felt so bored with an animated film from France since forever. Even if this was meant for younger kids, I can’t imagine someone like my niece sitting through this boring film. It becomes very obvious, outside of the rating for this film, that it’s meant for very little kids. Yeah, as much as I love foreign animation with their focus on story and characters, with different art styles and styles of animation, Sahara definitely doesn’t feel like one of those amazing films I talk about on my site. Ajar, along with the Oasis’s snake’s lazy obnoxious brother, must go save the “love” of his life before she ends up in a worse situation. That is, for a few seconds, as a snake charmer kidnaps the oasis snake. He and one of the oasis snakes escape the boundaries of the environment, and end up bonding with one another. Unfortunately for him, the snakes in the oasis are pretty high class, and have a rather strong defense system. The cobra named Ajar, voiced by Robert Naylor, decides to try and fit in with the snakes that live within the oasis on the other side of the valley. The story revolves around a cobra and a scorpion, who feel out of place with the colony of other snakes they live with. I was a bit concerned when they didn’t really advertise the film, and after watching it, I understand why. I knew about this CGI-animated film from France since the end of last year, but was intrigued when I saw Netflix was going to distribute it. ![]() That’s how I go into every film, and it was no different with the newly released Netflix-distributed film, Sahara. If it turns out to be a good or bad movie, that’s up to the film, and what I take away from it. Who wants to go into a film knowing it’s going to be bad? I said in my previous review that I like to be surprised. When I choose a film to watch, I try not to go directly into the film with a sense of “oh man, I’m going to hate this film”. ![]() Thanks for checking out my work, and I hope you like this review!)
