After watching Strange World, my thoughts about the movie are mainly mixed to negative. It seems estranged of anything close to a coherent story and ability to process or dripfeed any sort of explanation, setting or mood without jumping to another on a whim.
Best way I could describe is it like this: Imagine you are playing a videogame and get cutscenes depending on which area you are starting to visit, the cutscene has wide shots with clear goals and challenges the player will start to notice. Once they spend a chunk of time realizing those goals and challenges in gameplay, and after you are done with the area a cutscene where all was achieved plays and you go to the next level. This movie is like going on YouTube, looking up a compilation of all the cutscenes from a videogame and witnessing that process of: Goal → Challenge → Reward, being achieved immediately.
One stellar example of this issue inside the movie is halfway through, when the dad of the main character miraculously comes "back to life" to save his son after being presumed dead for 25 years, and in the span of mainly joke-filled 2 minutes and 47 seconds everyone is ok with it and it's not questioned in the slightest.
Overall lacking in quiet moments to breathe in, breathe out and process why has the setting changed 4 times in only 6 minutes, and characters that talk for more than 3 voice lines before turning evil.
Also I'm legally obligated to mention this is Disney's 8th try at making their first gay character, and although being more on the nose than something like that cop from Onward if you count the seconds it has the same amount of screentime.
