To describe the film "Turbo," one word is enough: fast.

First of all, it is about a really fast snail. Yes, snail, fast. The title character, Turbo, is an ordinary garden snail, but his dream is to become the greatest racer in the world. For that, he is constantly ridiculed by his neighbors, and even by his own brother. Luckily for him, an accident gives him the power of incredible speed and some other characteristics of a real car. Then a series of events lead him onto the tracks of the Indianapolis 500, where he challenges the former champion racer, Guy Gagne.

The story develops really fast. The audience probably won't have enough of it when they find themselves staring at the closing credit. On the one hand, that means the pacing is impeccable; on the other hand, it'snot good enough to satisfy the audience.

At the root of the problem is the lack of inventiveness. At the end of the day, it is just another successstory of an underdog. Apart from the paradox of a super-speed snail, it is no different from any other underdog story. Even superficial movies like the Spiderman series put up tentative efforts to elaborate on ideas like "with great power comes great responsibility." Turbo just keeps repeating: "No dream is ever too big, and no dreamer is ever too small." Viewers get the idea really fast, but they can also forget about it just as fast.

Part of the reason for tis is because the director came up with the idea overnight after watching "Fast and Furious." Now even the "Fast and Furious" series is struggling for better story ideas. How does some semblance of an animated version bring freshness to such stale content?

Some may argue that this particularly plain story is suitable for younger audiences. Indeed, based on the statistics polled by CinemaScore, the film got an "A+" from audience members under 18. However, I believe that children should have a more realistic understanding about the world. After all, we don't really want our kids to believe that as long as they dream big, some miracle will happen to bless them with supernatural powers.

So, Turbo is a mediocre story combined with excellent production. If you've got some spare time to kill, it can kill it for you really fast. On a scale from one to ten, I give it a six.
