What it is about
In “Moana,” Disney’s live-action reimagining of the beloved Oscar®-nominated animated adventure, Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia) answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people.
What to expect
Disney swaps animation for live action in this reimagining of the 2016 story. Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia) sails beyond the reef with demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) to lift a curse. The 115-minute adventure is rated Category I and plays in English with Chinese subtitles. With only one screening in the next seven days, across a single cinema in one district, this is a fleeting booking. Tickets start at HK$60. Early audience reaction sits at 6.1/10 from 246 votes.

Check out my full review @ https://www.manuelsbento.com/moana-2026-stranded-on-a-soundstage-of-pure-nostalgia/ Rating: C MOANA had every chance to expand on its animated predecessor, and it wastes almost all of it.
