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: 3.7/5 Review: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...

Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Batman: Gotham Knight DVD review" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2D animated movie has six different stories which are interesting on their own. The stories are fast-paced and some of them are action-packed due to the short runtime. The whole movie is only 1 hour and 16 minutes. Some of the famous villians are featured like Scarecrow and the Lizard. The six different stories also have their different styles, Batman seems like a fat monster in one of the story and he is a sleak man in black in another. Overall: It is a good watch even for those who are not a Batman fan but are into the recent live-action Batman movies. DVD special features-3.7/5 The second disc features two good and informative featurettes. One is about the villans of Batman (36 minutes).
