From being an All-Star in the NBA to starring in his own movie, Steph Curry has had nothing less than an exceptional career.
His most recent film project “GOAT” positively adds to his legacy. “GOAT” felt perfect in its art style, being unique and a combination of styles from past Sony movies. It kept that signature comic appearance and animation while still keeping it fluent and realistic.
The movie follows Steph Curry’s life. The movie’s main message is to dream big even when the odds aren’t in your favor. It’s through teamwork and encouragement that teaches young kids to uplift and help each other and make sure everyone is included. The movie perfectly portrays this by showcasing each player’s personal struggles, but then with the help and support of their team they reach their max potential.
Other key moments of the movie that pulled it all together was the final basketball match, named the “Roarball” which was stunning and felt aesthetically pleasing to watch, with the art style and animation immersing the viewer in this other world. This paired with the fantastic beautiful character designs.
Although the film feels great for what it is, there are some cons with the overall story. It felt like a restelling of a usual underdog sports story. The supporting characters unfortunately had little to no development for supporting characters. Once players had their key moment, nothing else happened involving them until the end.
Setting aside its shortcomings in character development, the movie is impressive. Its soundtrack is upbeat, making the viewer feel immersed. The movie is perfect for families and younger kids who dream of being in the NBA when they are older.
