Review: "Big Hero 6 3D movie review"

It is Disney's first attempt adapting from the source material of Marvel. It is a pretty good effort. Although Disney understandably changes the looking of characters to appeal to a younger age audience, Disney never fails visually. The whole movie is a visual treat from the unique environment to the exciting action. You can never go wrong with a Disney animation movie.

The story: The movie starts off a little slow. A good half and hour is devoted to the chemistry of two brothers, Hiro and his older brother Tadashi. There are quiet moments where Tadashi encourages his rebellious younger brother. The pace starts to pick up when Hiro looses his brother in a fire accident. After the lost of motivation to live, Hiro finds that the accident is no accident and someone is behind it. That's where the fun begins. Hiro equips Baymax, a healthcare robot, and his friends with super-charged suits to defend themselves from threats and get to the bottom of the mystery. Big Hero 6 is one of the most thrilling animation movie by Disney. The action scenes are well-craft with enough peril. The movie strikes a balance with super-charged action and drama and humour. Baymax will definitely be getting a lot of attention due to humorous moments and its distinctive yet simple look. The animation looks visually beautiful with lots of detail. Music accompanies nicely with the whole movie.

3D: It is okay. As usual, the movie focuses on using 3D to create a depth between characters and backgrounds. It creates a more immersive world for the audience. There are not many gimmick shots. Overall, the 3D effects are alright but it would't be a lost if it is watched in 2D.

Overall: It is as entertaining as it gets. The directors know how to balance loud action with quieter moments of character development. As far as a superhero movie goes, Big Hero 6 contains what a superhero movie should have. As far as an animation move goes, it strikes the high points. Good looking visuals, great action scenes, touching moments, decent character development, entertaining plot. This is what a superhero animated movie should be.

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...
Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...
The Five Best And Worst of 2017 Best 1. Dunkirk This is the top movie of 2017 because it was a pleasant experience in cinema. Watching this in cinema was not an initial intent however the strong reviews caught my attention. It is Christopher Nolan's best. It is short and sweet without dwelling on much. Han Zimmer's thrilling score levitates the movie to a whole new level. 2. Blade Runner 2049 It is another surprise hit for me as I did not intend to watch this in cinema too. The long runtime was partially the drawback for me but I was pleasantly surprised that I was engaged throughout the whole movie. Aside from Dennis Villeneuve's strong direction, Han Zimmer's score is on another level. 3. Thor Ragnarok Last year has been a great year. I did not expect to enjoy the third outing of Thor that much. The first one is so-so and the second one is an improvement however none of them stood out in my memories. Thor Ragnarok is definitely one of the most ...
