The Buzz Lightyear Spinoff Starring Chris Evans Looks Weirdly Intense
Lightyear is a sci-fi action-adventure and the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans) — the hero who inspired the toy. The film reveals how a young test pilot became the Space Ranger that we all know him to be today.
I remember hearing about this at the last Disney event and assuming that it was going to be a cookie cutter Disney thing. But this looks weirdly more intense than I would have imagined for the Toy Story hero! There was some sort of alien getting it's limb cut off, laser guns and cook mil-tech space stuff. I kinda dig it! Now, it is still a Pixar movie and is not going to subvert expectations too much, but I'm a little more pumped for it without a doubt. Also, I DEFINITLY got similar vibes from DOOM.
My god, can you imagine? It has actually given me a hankering to see a new DOOM movie. The Rock/Karl Urban version is a big time guilty pleasure of mine, but imagine a big, sweeping, demon killing movie with the technology we have today? My macbook just raised 4.5 inches off my lap, fellas.
