Slumberland (2022)

Written by Per Gunnar Jonsson on February 15, 2023

I was happy to watch this movie yesterday. I did not really know about but it the kids suggested it for our evening movie session. After watching that woke rubbish Free Guy, this was quite refreshing.

This is how a family movie should be. Entertaining, lots of adventure, fantasy and dreamworlds (literally in this movie). It is really a movie for most ages. But most important, free of woke bullshit, political preaching and agenda pushing. Of course that rubbish site Rotten Tomatoes’ critics gave it a 40% rotten while the audience gave it a 85% fresh rating which, to me, made the movie even more enjoyable.

The story is quite cool and I did like Jason Momoa in the role of Flip the dream creature. Some people compare him to Jack Sparrow and it is indeed not too far of.

It is a nice adventure jumping between the real world and the dream world. The real world was sometimes a wee bit gloomy and boring but the dream world made up for that.

The ending was what I would expect from a family movie, a quite positive one. It was quite fun to see Philip transform once he got his dreams, and apparently all the experiences from his dreaming, back.
