A Movie Review
Have you seen that new animated movie that’s showing now? You should see it. The story is about a war between humans and giant insects. I know it sounds kind of silly, but the story really works well. All the animation was done with computers, and they used the voices of some really famous actors. That really made the movie enjoyable. I won’t say who wins in the end, but I will tell you that it’s a big surprise. I left the theater very happy. I guess they could have chosen better music, though. I don’t think rap music is good for that kind of movie.
