Finding Dory Review – Dolby CInema Experience

Finding Dory is Now in Theaters!

I should probably start this review by telling you my history with Finding Nemo Story which premiered in 2003. It was the only movie my son would sit and watch with a smile on his face when he was little. You know those movies your kids watch that tend to drive you crazy after the 1,001 times it’s been played in the same week?

This was the type of movie where I had no issues with it playing and didn’t mind sitting and watching it with him as well. In my opinion, the Finding Nemo movie was about growing which I think all the characters at the end did. They all learned that personal growth wasn’t such a bad thing and that it made life so much more enjoyable once they did end up letting go of their fears.

Disney and Pixar’s Finding Nemo

If you have watched Disney and Pixar’s Finding Nemo movie then you will know that our Dory met the 2 clownfish while Merlin was in search of little Nemo. It was in Merlin and Dory’s first encounter that Merlin quickly found out that Dory suffered from Short Term Memory Loss. Honestly.

I think all of us do, this mom more in particular because I seem to juggle a million things at once due to being a single mother. I couldn’t tell you what I ate for dinner 2 nights ago, but I can sure as heck tell you it was most likely very delicious!

This movie picks up where this new bigger family left off after they finally found Nemo. But only after crossing the ocean a whopping 2 times. I’m including the travel they had to do to get back home of course.

About Disney Pixar’s Finding Dory

In this story Dory does something she hasn’t done since she was in search of Nemo, she remembered something! Not just anything, she remembered her family! As the story goes on Dory decides she wants to go in search of her long-lost family that has eluded her for many years.

I really don’t want to give away the wonderful story that develops so bear with me as I give you the jest of it. During the search of her parents, Dory begins to remember more, more and more about her past. This is surprising since Dory is known for her short-term memory loss. Her search leads her to a rehabilitation Aquarium “The Jewel of Monterey, California”.

Finding Dory Features NEW Friends

Once Dory finds her way into the Aquarium she meets a new friend Hank, the octopus with 3 hearts. Hank needs her tracking tag so he doesn’t get released back into the wild. Hank just wants to sit in a tank and relax by himself for the rest of his life (No more touching!).  

After Dory reunites with an old pipe buddy Destiny the extremely near-sighted whale shark she makes her way towards finding her parents. Without giving away the hilarious events that occur in the aquarium as Dory searches for her parents I will let you know that the amazingly beautiful ending is Dory does find her parents, thanks to a trail of seashells that leads her back home.

Finding Dory Dolby Cinema Experience

I cried and I laughed. I OOO’d I Awed, I did everything with this movie and I can’t tell you how much I loved it as a sequel to the original Finding Nemo movie. My kids gave this movie 2 thumbs up each which equals 8 thumbs up but, they wanted to count their thumbs on their toes so technically this movie received 16 thumbs up.

For our moving-going experience, we finally got to visit our local Dolby Cinema at the AMC theater. I had recently visited a Dolby Cinema Theater while in LA for the Jungle Book Event.

Pixar Short Film Piper

With this movie screen, you get the 3D imagining you love but without glasses, the curved picture screen is so crisp and beautiful that you really feel like you are under the sea. The short video “Piper” that played before the Finding Dory movie featured a small Sandpiper, who ventures out of her nest and onto the beach with her mom.

Piper has to overcome her fears of the crashing ocean waves that seem as though they are going to smash her little feathers to pieces.

About Pixar’s Short Film Piper

After meeting a new friend a hermit crab she finds a way to overcome her fears of the sea and also finds a neat trick to fishing out the sea clams in the sand. The graphics that were featured in this short were so amazing I honestly thought that it was a real beach setting at first.

The beach sand looked so real and amazing on this screen I really wish I could have reached out and touched it. The testament to this experience with the Dolby Cinema Screen is the realness of the sand, the water, and even the birds.

Dolby Cinema at AMC

If you haven’t already head to your nearest Dolby Cinema at AMC to experience Finding Dory swimming in a theater near you. Here is a quick trailer for this touching and heartfelt movie that I think everyone needs to see. You are going to laugh so hard and cry happy tears just like this mom did when you go.

Don’t worry though you won’t be the only one doing this. Have you seen Finding Dory yet? If so leave a comment below with what you thought about this cute fish tale.
