Review: "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 3D movie review"
I enjoyed it a lot perhaps due to its fast pace and cool stylized action. Its pace is noticeably fast and points are skimmed through, there isn't much of details of the plot. There are actually a lot of things to packed in this movie but with the runtime of 1 hour and 45 minutes, it is impossible to put all the details in. It is not long before the stylized action kicks in. Although it has its flaws, I enjoyed it for what it is.
The story: It is basically a revenge movie where a young Abraham saw his mother killed by a vampire and when he gets older, he goes on a killing vampire spree searching for the one who killed his mother. Meanwhile he finds love and eventually becomes a president. It sounds like there are so many things to show on screen. But the director chose to go with the fast-pace and skimmed through the things. Scenes will be brief; not many are extended. Action helps to make it more a thrill-ride. Action scenes are many but brief. There are a few noticeable action scenes which are Abraham chasing his mother's murder with thousands of horses, the breaking into the vampires' house and obviously the climax which involves vampires getting hacked in a train. All the scenes mentioned have ridiculous stunts, cool slo-mo and are accompanied by great cinematography. Acting wise is good, believable acting by Benjamin Walker and Mary Elizabeth Winstead and the rest of the cast. Music is good; it has the tone of the movie.
3D: It is surprisingly good for a post-converted movie. Post-converted 3D movies are slowly gaining my trust. The 3D effects are effective especially during the action scenes and some shock scenes involving vampires appearing at your face. It is sadly more effective than the big-budget movie, The Amazing Spider-Man which is even filmed in 3D.
Overall: It is worth to watch in cinema in 3D. It is a pity that it didn't receive much credit even at the Box Office. It is a visual treat from the director of Wanted. Nothing could go wrong in terms of visual. It boasts effective 3D which could be the best post-converted 3D movie for now.
