| Big Hero 6
| Interstellar | WINNER
(1 point per category) |
| Clearest Title | Did I miss the first five Big Heroes? | “Occurring between stars” is the defintion, not bad. | Interstellar must be a better title than the sixth Big Hero movie...point. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Animation
Rated PG for action and peril, some rude humor, and thematic elements. | Thriller
Rated PG-13 for some intense perilous action and brief strong language. | 1/2 point each for different genres and ratings. |
Best Plot
(in haiku form) | There is a robot
Looks like giant marshmallow
Has to save the world | World is gonna die
Astronauts have to save it
By going to space
| Both save-the-world plots, both 1/2 point each. |
| Best Trailer | PROS: It looks like an animated movie that adults would want to watch too, Disney, heart, action, humor...gots it all.
CONS: Perhaps none. | PROS: Well, the trailer was boring...but everyone is saying the movie is going to be amazing.
CONS: Well, the critics say there won’t be a con, but nothing happened in that trailer. | Big Hero 6 (which turns out isn’t a sequel) wins the best trailer point, and I don’t care who argues with me. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | I don’t recognize many actors behind the voices of the cast. | Matthew McConaughey from A Time to Kill and Dallas Buyers Club. | Matthew McConaughey wins this point. |
| Best Cast | The voices of Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) and Billy Bush (Access Hollywood) | Anne Hathaway (Les Mis), Jessica Chastain (The Help), Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, Michael Caine, Topher Grace, Ellen Burstyn, and John Lithgow. | And the cast of Interstellar wins this point. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Writer and director Don Hall also wrote Tarzan, Brother Bear, and Winnie the Pooh. | Writer and director Christopher Nolan also wrote and directed Memento, The Dark Knight, and Inception. | And Don Hall has some impressive work, but Christopher Nolan wins this point. |
