how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 52 comments (45 from Metacritic, 7 from TMDB reviews) — 10 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 10 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“Except for an unnecessary, overly complex twist for the target audience in the third act”

“It's called lightyear because it feels like you're travelling a lightyear at snail speed while you're watching, the pacing is THAT awful.”

“I found myself enjoying the world-building first half of the movie far more than the actual mission-based second half”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“This is a funny spinoff with suspense and heart, a captivatingly spirited toon take on splashy live-action retro popcorn entertainment. The title character is given splendid voice by Chris Evans, balancing heroism and human fallibility with infectious warmth.”
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter · 90
“As far as spin-offs go, “Lightyear” is a lot of fun. The voice talent is topnotch, especially Palmer and Evans.”
Odie Henderson, RogerEbert.com · 88
“Lightyear’s dazzling first half showcases the wittiest comic action from the Pixar folks in many years.”
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune · 88
“Returning in Lightyear is the trademark Pixar sense of humor. Like every film, all jokes are meticulously crafted in a way that will make children laugh and adults laugh harder.”
Alan Ng, Film Threat · 85
“Lightyear is so clearly calibrated to be something more: a thoughtful meditation on the passage of time. And on that level, the film never hits as hard as it’s meant to.”
Tasha Robinson, Polygon · 84

“Like _Toy Story 4_, _Lightyear_ is an unnecessary installment to the Toy Story franchise, but is enjoyable nevertheless. Its homage to science fiction makes the animated film feel more like a sci-fi actioner rather than an animated film the majority of the time. It has a rich and palpable atmosphere that is gorgeously animated and is filled with the laugh out loud and heartfelt moments Pixar is typically known for. **Full review:** https://hubpages.com/entertainment/Lightyear-2022-Review-A-Vi”

“Where has the "magic" gone? Disney muddles the mix once again and ruins a childhood favorite by removing the accomplished Buzz frontman Tim Allen for Chris Evans? I was so wanting to see the quick quips and humor a comedian such as Allen has always brought to the Toy Story franchise and sadly they went the other direction here. Formulaic and predictable. This could have been any other space-based children's animation.”
