With Big Hero 6 finally being released in Australia after a completely arbitrary delay I was able to see the movie which was getting more positive reviews than I can bother to count. And it lived up to every single one of them.

The story starts out simple enough with Hiro, the main protagonist making some money off robot fighting rather than putting his talents to good use to improve the lives of others like his brother PlotDevice-san Tadashi who happens to be working at an advanced robotics lab in a university and of course Hiro wants in after seeing what Tadashi’s friends in the lab do including Tadashi’s pet project Baymax – an inflatable robot designed to provide care for people.

After Hiro gets into the university your standard movie “accident” occurs which claims Tadashi’s life and soon after than we discover a masked man who is our main antagonist. And from here things start to get interesting. I won’t spoil any more because you REALLY need to see this for yourself.

Overall I give this movie 8/10 – it is a good movie well worth your time.

Hopefully the home media release in Australia won’t be so late…
