Plankton's tangled love story with his sentient computer wife goes sideways when she takes a stand — and decides to destroy the world without him.
"Plankton: The Movie is a Netflix animated film, a spin-off of SpongeBob SquarePants, starring the villain of the series. In the plot, Plankton’s plans to dominate the world are thwarted when his computer wife, Karen, gets angry with him and decides to take charge. The villain must work with his rival, SpongeBob, to repair their relationship and save the world. With the animation style of the more recent installments of the franchise, both in movies and TV series, this film appeals to new generations while offering something familiar for longtime fans. However, the plot doesn’t propose much, and it’s evident that the creative genius of SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenburg (who ed away in 2018) is missing. Plankton: The Movie is a production that will work best for young children and die-hard fans of the sponge."
