Here’s what was going on in my mind while I was viewing this fun, animated film. As you might, as well, I couldn’t help but think to myself that “Ron’s Gone Wrong” is a precursor of what’s to come. It was made to get us used to the idea that the movie we’re watching is actually the next generation phone on the way. It’s an ad!

This movie is surprisingly wonderful. It covers every aspect of Jacques-Yves Cousteau’s life from the beginning to the end, never once feeling stale or tiresome. Through this, you will see how and why he started exploring the sea, where it took him, and how some of his research led to the harm of the planet, himself, and us.

“Mass” was written and directed by actor Fran Kranz, who you’ve seen in such films as “Training Day,” “Cabin in the Woods,” and “The Village.” Actually, this is his writing and directorial debut. Still, with all the acting credits listed next to his name, I wasn’t too worried about whether or not he’d be a good storyteller. And what do you know, I wasn’t disappointed. You won’t be either.

There’s something I have to mention right away, so I don’t forget. The music in this film is sublime. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, the logline for “Bergman Island” tells us that a couple goes to the Swedish island of Fårö. This island inspired Ingmar Bergman to write some of his work.
