Moviegoers are saying
This animated adventure channels Studio Ghibli's magic through an Interstellar-sized lens, following a dinosaur-obsessed 10-year-old boy in a visually stunning world that reviewers consistently compare to Miyazaki's work. While audiences praise the 'near flawless animation' and fully lived-in world-building, many feel the half-baked story moves too swiftly between plot points without proper resolution, leaving fascinating ideas unexplored.

nothing will ever get in the way of a 10-year-old boy and his obsession with dinosaurs (except maybe time itself)

Overall very enjoyable and gorgeous animation. Some favorite moments were just seeing the characters’ hair blowing in the wind, it’s done so well. It’s an ok story, but not super captivating in my opinion. Biggest complaint is I disliked most of the English dub (looking at you Mark Ruffalo) and…
Easton Speese likedArcoVery beautiful animated film very much influenced by Ghibli films. The plot is breaking any new grounds but it’s a very solid story and makes for an entertaining and well paced hour and a half. The soundtrack is easily the best part of the film each score ranges from beautiful and ethereal to…
Bennie lovedArcoSome of the most beautiful and detailed animation I’ve seen with a story layered with earth’s timelines that feel both satisfying and devastating. Seeing this all through a children’s perspective gives makes it feel genuinely stirring and emotional. 8.5

a sweet and endearing animated film that was clearly made by a team that’s as creative as they are capable of crafting visually stunning work. an interesting and unique story that subverts expectations, charming
ant likedArcothe animation is just insane. I personally liked the english dub because of how many recognizable voices there were. I haven’t seen little Amelie yet but so far im hoping this one gets the oscar.
Michael Callanan likedArcoSuch an imaginative and fun world filled with childhood innocence I can only imagine what it'd be like to watch this through that lens if I were a kid now

What an incredible piece of sci-fi this is. A true representative of the genre, with heart, a clear vision, and very powerful messages.
Dal likedArcoHad no idea Will Ferrell and Andy Samberg and Marc Ruffalo were all voice actors in the English version, movie was pretty good
jam jammy jambam is "meh" onArcoI mean it’s cute. I liked the world design and the three musketeers were fun. I just didn’t connect with it at all.

This is primary-colour, major-key storytelling. It is disarming, charming and unafraid to be sincere – especially when it comes to the sparks of inspiration, creativity and connection that are so fundamental to human existence.

With his debut feature, Arco, Ugo Bienvenu puts a unique, thought-provoking twist on the solarpunk genre.

Like a cross between a Studio Ghibli joint and “Interstellar,” Arco, by the French comic-book artist turned filmmaker Ugo Bienvenu, strikes a lovely balance between fantastical kid-friendly wholesomeness and real-world bleakness.
