Astro Boy, the new film based on a Japanese comic book and cartoon series from the 1950s and '60s, seems to have gotten it backwards. The fun and merriment take a backseat to the sci-fi elements, which of themselves are fine, I guess, but probably not what the intended audience is looking for, and not terribly interesting anyway. I'd recommend waiting for the DVD, then watching it with one eye while you do something else. It's a good one-eye movie.
