ARCTIC DOGS * (Theatrical Release USA 2019)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.6|5.0 Starsììì

Arctic Dogs needs a more playful approach to its storyline to engage its audience. The initial concept is good, but nothing new is added to make this a good watch. It quickly becomes just another story that uses dogs to confront the evil genius rather than bears, birds, deer, or any other animal to save the world. It’s not big league entertainment.

Storyline

A fox starts out in the mail room, but has the desire to be a mail delivery fox.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. When high quality entertainment is not a priority, then this movie works as fill-in time for children (as a lunch watch, for instance).
