Entertainment: Weekend
As cliched as it sounds, there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel. But if a wheel can’t be improved on, it can be made lovelier. That’s what “Abominable” does. The an-imated film takes a standard story and adds so much visual beauty that it exceeds expectations.
First, that standard story: Yi (voice of Chloe Bennet) is a Shanghai teenager, still grieving the recent death of her father; she suppresses her sadness by keep-ing busy with various jobs and dis-tancing herself from her mother and grandmother (Michelle Wong and Tsai Chin). After one particu-lar frenetic day, she escapes to her rooftop sanctuary, where she finds a yeti who’s escaped from a zoolo-gist (Sarah Paulson) and a rare animal collector (Eddie Izzard).
Yi and the yeti, whom she names Everest, head off to the Himalayas to return the creature to his home, accompanied by two friends, who are mostly there to provide exposition.
As you’d expect from Dream-Works, the animation — espe-cially the eyes, which are marvel-
ously expressive — is something to behold. This comes in handy for Everest, who is nonverbal. The character himself is a wonder: a silky-haired, graceful oaf who can go from cuddly to ferocious in a moment.
But the best-looking parts of the film are the backgrounds,
which are rendered so lovingly and lushly that they’re virtually a character in the film. The Shang-hai scenery, for instance, under-scores how much Everest doesn’t belong; he’s a big ball of fluff in a city of steel and neon. As Yi and company travel through Chinese landscapes, Everest shifts from
alien to native the closer they get to the snow-covered mountains. As in “Moana,” “Abominable’s” cultural setting is integral to the story line. Given that the movie is a partnership between Dream-Works and Pearl Studio (formerly Oriental DreamWorks), the em-phasis placed on China’s role in the story unsurprising.
But unsurprising doesn’t mean unimportant.
The other virtual character is the score, which heightens the emotions without being manipu-lative or cheap. Yi is an accom-plished violinist, and when she plays, it’s with genuine feeling — particularly when she’s accom-panied by Everest, who rumbles tunefully (courtesy of Joseph Izzo, whose vocalizations evoke a com-bination of Tibetan throat singing and a basso profundo’s purr). The song “Fix You” by Coldplay - a re-liable tear-jerker - shows up in one especially moving scene.
There is so much that’s so good about “Abominable” that it’s easy to forgive its formulaic narrative and — with the exception of Yi — its lightly written characters. Emotional nuance, outstanding voice performances (particularly from Bennet) and artful anima-tion all combine to lift the film.
No, “Abominable” doesn’t re-invent the wheel — but it does de-liver a lovely ride.
Animated adventure is beautiful, but formulaic

All times are Eastern unless otherwise noted.
Current cinemaCurrently playingAd Astra êêê½ (Jasper 8 Theatres) An astronaut (Brad Pitt) is sent on an interplanetary mission to dissuade his father (Tommy Lee Jones) from carrying out a mad plan that could destroy Earth. Admirably daring, bold and ambitious and sure to be polarizing, it’s one of the most
beautiful films of the year, even when it makes little sense. (Adventure drama, PG-13, 2 hrs. 2 min.)
Downton Abbey êêê (Jasper 8 Theatres) The movie sequel to the sophisticated TV soap opera, which finds both the upstairs and the downstairs ensembles preparing for a visit from the king and queen, is an extravagant dessert after a six-course meal. Absolutely unnecessary, but still a real treat. (Drama, PG, 2 hrs. 2 min.)
Hustlers êêê½ (Jasper 8 Theatres) A grounded and natural performance by Constance Wu, as a strip-club dancer working with her mentor (Jennifer Lopez) to fleece their wealthy clients, anchors this slick and sharp and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny crime story, based on real-life events. (Crime comedy, R, 1 hr. 50 min.)
It Chapter Two êêê (Jasper 8 Theatres) The kids of the Losers’ Club reunite 27 years after the nightmare of the first film and again
are haunted by the supernatural clown Pennywise. Maybe because they’re adults now, the impact is relatively muted, but still, this is a solid, extremely well-crafted, great-looking and occasionally quite chilling film. (Horror, R, 2 hrs. 49 min.)
Rambo: Last Blood 0ês (Jasper 8 Theatres) Some 37 years after “First Blood,” the fifth and (we hope) final chapter in the franchise finds Sylvester Stallone’s John Rambo in Mexico to rescue a friend’s
granddaughter from sex traffickers. This is gruesomely sadistic and utterly repellent trash with no redeeming qualities other than its mercifully short running time. (Action, R, 1 hr. 29 min.)
