Storyline

The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters - from T. rex to Napoleon - the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he - alongside teen-age rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob - ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first supervillainess ever. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in modern London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. Featuring a sound-track of hit music

Reviews

26 June 2015 Film of Choice at The Plaza Dorchester Tonight - Minions. I'm a big fan of Despicable Me and who cannot fail to love the hapless yellow Minions who only live to serve their evil master. This film was much anticipated and although I enjoyed it, my fear of Minion overkill did come true.....just a little bit. With their made up language, these endearing little chaps are entertaining in small doses but just a little too much in their own film. The story was solid......after serving many evil characters through history and unwittingly helping to hasten their demise, the Minions had established a colony but were losing their zest for life, so with the help Stuart and Bob, Kevin sets off to find a new master to unite the Minions once more. Their adventures lead them to Scarlett Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock) and ultimately to England where things go so wrong they end up right. I went to The Plaza at 6pm so shared the viewing with a very large number of children, who laughed raucously throughout. If you like Minions, you'll like this film. Interesting twist!!!!!
