This movie was surprisingly really good. It was predictable, like most kid's movies, but still funny and interesting. Emmett, the main character, is suddenly faced with a dilemma when he accidentally finds the "Piece of Resistance" which causes all of the rebels of his rigidly controlled world to label him as the "Special". He is supposedly named in prophecy as the one who has the power to save them all, even though he has had very few original thoughts in his entire life and is perfectly happy following instructions all day. I really enjoyed how the movie shows how important creativity and originality are while still showing the importance of rules and organization. A lot of kid's movies fail to make that distinction, but this one makes it clear that anarchy gets you nowhere along with it's message about believing in yourself and the power of individuals. With amazing animation (all in Legos) and a powerful message, it's a great movie for kids while still being interesting for adults.
