Had a lovely time forcing my friends to endure this nightmarish purgatory on opening night. Absolutely whimsical experience, I will cherish their screams of terror forever.

I left 30 mins after it started

This was a train wreak. Five Stars

Only thing good was JHudson

Worst film I’ve seen and I’m a Broadway and Cats fan!

my friend was snooring

meowmeowmeow

a Waste of talented people

Pretty bad

we all cryed when she sang

I gave it 5 stars because the cast, and dancing was great! I saw Cats on Broadway when I was a child, i am 32 now so it was nice taking my mom to see it in the theater. Broadway will always be better!

I loved the singing & dancing & their costumes. It was cute that their ears & tails moved. Very realistic & I loved how they captured the essence & personality of their roll as a cat. Especially since I am a cat lover I thought that was important.

So boring...the characters and makeup were very gonna d but i couldn’t wait for this movie to end. Very disappointing

Should have went straight to tv as a lifetime movie

This movie was one weird movie. The plot was very vague and made no sense. Great music but not worth the money

do yourself a favor and skip this movie, it was just plain awful, even the actors said it sucked, and if you look at the cats feet you will see the worst cgi ever where they failed to bring the ground up high enough to touch the characters limbs, most of the dances the actors are floating about 1-3inches off the ground which was very annoying

Worst movie ever!!!! Totally wasted money and time! Very disappointing

Very interesting and moving. Jennifer Hudson's solo brought me to tears.

The studio obviously never heard of test screenings. It needed a few more months in the editing room. Lots of it did not work.

Talented ensemble at their best. Makes me wish I had seen the live performance. I would have likes to see a trailer after the movie that identified who played each role could only identify about five actors.

I left halfway through. Bored out of my mind

I don’t know what to say about what I just saw - very different kind of movie. Jennifer Hudson was amazing and the dancing was great - the CG was distracting tho

Amazing.

if you’ve never seen the broadway musical then you’re not going to get it. I loved it! it brought me back to my eleventh birthday when i went to see it before they left NY

I loved it

Jennifer Hudson stole the movie for me and truly made “Memory” her own!

The rotten tomatoes say it all! It had so much potential for it to be Broadway like but could not even keep Activision CGI correct! Bravo J Hud belting out Memories!

Went to see this film for my bday. watched 20 minutes and had to leave. it was horrible. there was no one in the Theater so we should have know it was a crap movie. waste of time.

I expected more, very boring and dragging

Nothing special. If you've experienced Cats before, there's really no need to watch this version.

Literally such a waste of time and money !!

This movie was a bit confusing. It’s true it’s based on a stage musical but the movie’s execution was a bit scrambled, there’s moments where it acts like a movie which is its highlights but in other moments it seems to be too much of the stage musical. The acting is great, but most of the numbers were forgettable except for a small selective few. Most of the plot was not as well explained. I was confused for most of the movie. If you’re a true Cats fan like the musical, then you might have fun watching this, but if you’ve only heard of it and never seen it, this is a rental at best. The other musicals such as Hairspray, Hairspray stays true to the original but also acts like a movie by adding new stuff that makes it so memorable. Unfortunately Cats does not have this. So either watch if you’re curious or if you’re looking for something enjoyable I recommend something else.

Bad luck

you would think with a star-studded cast like that it would be amazing. it wasn't, it was weird and creepy the best part about it was Taylor Swift.

Weird movie, great music. See it with an open, and thats the only way you will like it! It is art...

I really enjoy listening to Jennifer Hudson’s voice but not in this movie.

I typically do not leave comments and I understand to each their own but this was one of the worst film I've wasted money on by far. I can' t even say I wish o could unsee it because I started reading a book about 15 minutes into the film. Would have left but had to stick around waiting for family.

Why

Jennifer Hudson was amazing, but I like the play better.

Not my favorite. Good effects but it was very slow and felt more like slugging through it than enjoying a real world distraction.

This movie is a must see for All the wrong reasons

Not sure why this is one of the longest running musicals ever. Judy Dench, Did you not have ANY other options? Jennifer Hudson was good, though, so two stars for that.

Although the movies has a lot of great actors and actresses , it was the worst. Not worth the money

great movie

I didn't get it. What happened to Jennifer Hudson? I missed something

Started off slow but I thought it was overall good. If you like musicals I recommend

Taylor Swift is an absolute legend and managed to be the highlight of the movie in her short time on screen. The song she wrote is perfect, stunning, incredible, and beautiful. I highly recommend seeing this movie and also supporting Taylor Swift in all her endeavors.

For those who previously enjoyed CATS, on stage or video, this will be a pleasure.

I now appreciate cats.

Better than most reviews say. if you enjoy the original play you'll probably enjoy this too.

The real issue is the distracting and disturbing “digital fur technology”. Every time Cats settles into an admittedly avant-garde shape, an ear twitches or a tail flicks and you’re back thinking about how ghastly the actual cats look.

Cats undermines itself in both editing and musical arrangement, barely has a plot to hang its hat on, and is CGI-ed into oblivion. Yet there’s something weirdly wonderful about just how committed Hooper is to his vision, which feels like it should have been audience-tested into something less phantasmagorical.

Whether you think the imagery is beautiful or nightmarish, this is a film that demands to be looked at. If nothing else, I can confirm it’s the most Jellicle experience I’ve had all year.
