Just check this out, if you haven't already. A highly recommended picture, for both sci-fi and 3D fans.
I choose the UK version because of the better mood.

My take on Tintin
November 14th 2011 15:56
Steven Spielberg may have sunken into his eternal childhood, and with that he might have lost the real edge of his works, but he's a master craftsman of a child, even if it sounds weird.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is a playful adventure experiment. A real fun ride with loveable characters and amazing visuals. It has JOY written all over it. I'm pretty sure Master Spielberg had tremendous fun making it, utilizing imaginative sweeping/transforming shots that would have been impossible in live action.
Speaking of performance capture, I was really amazed at all the detail in how they have captured reality, and kept it in a surreal world at the same time. The caricature-like characters with real human skin and hair, wearing real clothes living in a real environment were truly the monuments of Weta's greatness. The largest jewel in this crown is of course the lifelike and fully convincing transition of the PERFORMANCE. This is an animated movie, but the majority of animators are laymen: they are called actors.
One actor/being stands out as a show stealer: Andy Serkis/Captain Haddock. Once he's on screen, he gives you all the laughs, and also shows the most through his digital makeup. I guess Gollam, King Kong, and Caesar give him the edge over virtually every actor living today. Not even Ron Perlman can come near his category, all thanks to the new and improved way of heavy prostethics made available by performance capture.
The cute and brave little spot of the movie is Snowy, Tintin's trusty doggy sidekick. He always saves the day, and the audience will cheer for him united.
The adventure is larger than life in every aspect, and if you cannot get away from the real world, you'll have a hard time enjoying the ride. Luckily I didn't have this problem!
While not the most original adventure story ever, it can be a joy even for audiences that feel that they have seen this somewhere, sometime in another dimension.

IMAX Digital 3D first impression
April 22nd 2011 08:05
Since Mars Needs Moms wasn't the brightest movie, I thought I'm going to let the experience settle down, and see a live action presentation in IMAX Digital 3D as well

Megamind vs. Despicable Me

Who's your favourite?
There are times in the world of movies when two films are so similar that you begin to wonder if it's coincidence, or maybe the same scripment went through several studios, and more than one saw the spark in the project. Think Armageddon vs. Deep Impact, Antz vs A Bug's Life or Saving Private Ryan vs. The Thin Red Line

Shrek at last!(?)

Back to the roots?
Shrek forever after, in trendy 3D, might be the last occasion we see the big green ogre and his loudmouth donkey friend on the big screen. I hope at least
