Movie Review - Bee Movie

Bee Movie looks pretty but is incredibly low on plot and storyline. Take the idea that a bee whose just graduated (with a very weak joke about the shortness of the bee lifestyle) and is about to choose his job and place in life but decides he's unhappy with his life.

But hang on! He HASN'T even GOT a life yet! So how can he be unhappy with it? Nope, he's unhappy at the prospect of his life. So big deal, so are over 90% of the working population! Live with it! So Barry goes out with the fliers, sees the outside would and meets and is saved by a human who he talks to breaking 25 million years of tradition. Hmmm, with all that length of tradition you'd think it'd been done before but just never spoken about again, no? Anyway, his life of leisure finally leads him to discover how humans eat and take honey from bees and he's annoyed and decides to sue. A ridiculous concept, no court on the planet would accept such a case. So the plots derailed there.

Of course the bees win (after playing the slavery card) and all farmed bees are freed and all honey is returned to the bees who promptly stop making honey and pollinating. Which destroys the Eco-system (a completely nonsensical notion. wasps, mites & butterflies and the wind also cause pollination) and puts Barry florist friend out of a job as there are no More flowers left apart from a parade.

So they crash the parade, steal a float and take the flowers back on the plane. the pilot & co-pilot get incapacitated and Barry and his friend have to land the plane. Another stupid notion that bees could carry a plane (it'd take billions & they'd be blown away even if they ever could fly fast enough to catch a jet in the 1st place). Anyway, the bees re-pollinate and the flowers are saved. End of awful movie with REALLY AWFUL science
