It's late 21st century. Spacely Sprockets and Spindles' new asteroid mining colony is being sabotaged. After the latest VP for the plant goes missing after three others, Cosmo Spacely sends Geroge Jetson and his family to the colony as the new head of the plant. George's job is to push the start button.
The Jetsons are a bit before my time. Even as a child, I never watched the reruns while I did watch the reruns of The Flinstones. The Jetsons don't seem funny to me and much too bland. The family seems to exist in the superficiality of the mall universe in a superficial way. So I come to this with no nostalgia at all. In fact, it's somewhat anti-nostalgia to me. The first part is pretty bland. Once they get to the colony, there is a slice of Scooby Doo adventures which is a little interesting. I can do without the singing. This was a time when the pencil drawn animation gets mixed with rudimentary CG inserts. It's a temporary transition in animation. The drawn animation is too TV for theatrical release and CG doesn't fit the franchise. There is a dark subject matter about mining's destruction of the local people and it tackles it as well as can be expected in a kids movie. I come to this with low expectations and that's what I get for the most part.
