What to Know

Critics Consensus

Packed with colorful world-building that's as frenetic as it is weightless, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie's visuals are often out of this world but the threadbare story ultimately loses its Milky Way.

5/10
Visually, it infuses long-awaited sequences with a surprising amount of style... What undoes a lot of this is simply how little depth there is to these characters. Go to Full Review
