Review: The Crystal Planet has a lot more to offer than Diane Warren's latest song
The Crystal Planet got on my radar pretty early this year when I realized it features a song penned by Diane Warren, which automatically puts it in the hunt for an Oscar nomination. Warren, the prolific songwriter behind Oscar-nominated hits like "How Do I Live" from Con Air and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" from Armageddon , has been nominated at the big show seventeen times (including every year since 2017) without ever taking home a competitive trophy, though she has received a much-deserved honorary Oscar. So when Warren has a song in a movie, it's worth paying attention to. Lucky for viewers, The Crystal Planet isn't a movie that feels like a chore to get through (for those of us who try to watch all the Oscar nominees each year, there's usually a few). Instead, it's a lively and fun little sci-fi adventure about robot animals and dealing with grief, corporate greed and political manipulation. Like the titular planet, there's a lot more...
