Planes: Fire & Rescue (2014)
July 18th

Verdict: Surprisingly, I did like the former better - the visuals are colorful enough to keep a kiddo entertained, but might bore someone older to the point your eyelids get heavy.

BumperAllenFan's rating:
2014 was the year of the most cinema trips yet for me. In 2014, my cinema buddies were a quite interesting group, to LEGOS to a hyper-intelligent beagle to the Muppets, to blue macaws to a bear family to frat boys to kaijus, to a wicked fairy to dragons to undercover cops, to planes to pizza-loving reptiles to trolls to a Day of the Dead love tale, and to superheroes to an adorable orphan to fairy tale characters. I also revisited some cinema buddies, such as the world's most famous British rockers ( 3 times ) and to the sentimental man that traveled through history.
