I had a lot of expectations for this movie watching the trailer, but unfortunately I was quite disappointed by a couple of details that I will explain below that precisely left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. Let's start from the premise that I have never been a huge fan of the video game saga and the story in general but this movie seemed to me a good idea to maybe bring closer to this universe even people who have never been attracted to it so much. An opportunity that in my opinion was wasted on the silliest aspects. Let's start by saying that I definitely wasn't expecting a good badass horror movie as King would make it but at least I would have expected some jumpscare (since video games are based only on those) and a plot that was at least cute and not obvious... Instead far from it, I was faced with a literally empty movie where the only thing done well were the animatronics which alas are visually beautiful but seeing them playing with a little girl making a castle with chairs and tables really made me feel sorry for them. The plot is very simple and mostly obvious at best, the music on the other hand is cute. I heard many people in the cinema excited about the movie only the first 20 minutes because rightly the animatronics appear but then there was total silence and at the twist there was no one amazed. A movie that focuses only on showing how well they did the animatronics and that's it, I found it really empty and left me hollow inside.
