What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Spaceship battles give this animated adventure its action, but Hiro’s overwhelming firepower keeps the mood closer to a breezy power fantasy than a desperate fight for survival. Mercenary exploits alternate with gathering allies and encounters with aliens, giving the journey variety without piling on heavy emotional weight. Outer space is a place for enjoying newfound power as much as confronting enemies.

Carbonated drinks and a house on a planet give Hiro’s travels a distinctly everyday purpose. The mismatch between commanding a formidable warship and lacking basic comforts supplies the light humor, while small domestic goals punctuate the combat. Each planetary stop offers another step toward a more comfortable life, not just another enemy to defeat.
