We went into Elio without the highest of hopes. Between the trailers, synopsis and other marketing material released for the movie so far, it just seems like something we’ve seen before. “Troubled youth goes on an adventure to appreciate what they have at home” is such a well-worn trope that it has even been done with the premise of aliens and space travel in the past.

Okay it’s not an official Age of Empires set, it’s a Cobra. The car famously appeared in the series as a cheat code. The 1:10 scale set launches on 1st July 2025.
