Wow, okay. So Cats is a pretty weird movie. Not just from the cat human hybrids, but from some weird, off-putting elements like Ian McKellen and Judi Dench's performances. The whole cast EMOTES like cats - and do a really good job of it.
The CGI and cat-acting (cacting) are going to be the most "weird" parts. HOWEVER. If you can get past that, and appreciate how much they seriously lean into all this, it's kind of, dare I say, great. This movie was made unapologetically, and lets its freak flag fly.
Not to mention there are actually some good to great scenes. The musical numbers/scenes for Mr Mistoffelees, Bombalurina, Mungojerrie/Rumpleteazer, Bustopher Jones, Skimbleshanks, and Rum Tum Tugger were legitimately fun to watch and listen to.
All in all, I think this will be a cult kind of movie with some fans who will remember it fondly in 5 years - basically it's Speed Racer. If you like shit like that, go see it. Also, I wanna nuzzle Victoria.
