Up Movie Review

While on my holiday to Spain, there were a lot of movies to catch and since I just do the before and not the after, I decided to take a break and use a few hours of my life to watch a movie. So just to be safe, I decided to start with 500 Days Of Summer. Then, I watched Up. After watching Up, I just have this feeling I don't get from a lot of movies. In case all of you don't know about this Pixar juggernaut, I'm gonna explain the story. An old man, Carl Fredrickson has always been grumpy and sad and could never reach his dream of going to South America. So 1 day, he ties many Helium filled balloons to his roof and his house lifts off to South America but he accidentally brings along a little scout-like boy, Russell, who he tried to get rid of at the start of the movie. The story is a bit illogical but it's animation so it's okay for the story to be like that. Pixar is very good at not being childish with their animated films. For example, in Toy Story, I am sure that some kids won't understand what Woody and Buzz talk about sometimes. In Up, Russell's father has an affair. I'm not sure whether parents would want their kids wanting to know about affairs. Next, the character development. Every character were likable, even the villain until a certain extent. You really can relate to them and you understand them. Now, choose any of these 3 movies,

1. Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen
2. 2012
3.G.I. JOE: The Rise Of CobraIt's all about the C.G.I., no character development whatsoever. For example, when Optimus Prime died in the movie like in a Transformers animated movie before, we didn't feel sad, even when a sad score was being played because we didn't know him that well. When someone you don't know dies, you don't really care, right? Same thing here, Transformers 2 lacked emotion. Next, 2012. There is no conflict whatsoever so no emotions even while they're running away. The only interesting thing is the "Holy Sh**" effects, no heart and soul of making a good movie. G.I. JOE has the worst group of actors because some are too successful (Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Dennis Quaid), some are not supposed to be in the movie (Marlon Wayans, Rachel Nichols & Brendan Fraser), some are unknowns (Christopher Ecclestone & Lee Byung-hun), some acted well (Arnold Vosloo & Ray Park) and some are under-achievers (Channing Tatum & Sienna Miller). The cast is wild so the characters are wild too since Arnold, Ray, Lee and Joseph only reached above my acting satisfaction. But I know people who watched Up and just said that it was an okay movie. I have to strongly disagree with them because this movie is one of a few movies that can help save our movie future, which was why I was upset when Up or Fantastic Mr. Fox didn't get a nomination for the Golden Globes Best Motion Picture- Musical or Comedy category. Before watching, it was W RP. Now, after watching, it is W MS! So until next time, consider yourselves advised, remember H-wood gives us more than what we paid for, choose your movies wisely and as always, Long Live Good Movies!
