Every VFX shot in this film makes me think of the classic meme line from _Arrested Development_, "What could it cost? Ten dollars?" All of the CGI is _super bad_ in this installment, even by 2000s standards. ---- Tragic that Proto Zoa had to be recast. He's a shell of his old self in this one. The _Flubber_-esque robot version of Lester the manager was amusing enough, though it was implied in _Zequel_ that Zoa's manager was another human. Better was the gag about not being old until you're 30. I, too, am 31. 😂 Story-wise, I think this was actually stronger than the second film. Adding a "Mini-Zee" (Dasha) was a shot in the arm to the action that otherwise got pretty dull.
