I loved this movie when I was a kid. Still love it as an adult now.
One of the best - if not THE BEST - animated movie I have seen.
Nice story.
Good characters.
And beautiful 3D effects.
No nasty music dance up comedy like in Shrek and so on.
Love.
I give this movie a rating of 10 trakt.tv - hearts because everyone should watch this movie, so it get uprated as hell - and I hope when you watch this movie, you gonna up rate it as well. Please!
I was aware that Orcas are highly evolved animals and that they have a high social bonding to each other. You and me read this properly plenty of times somewhere else. But this movie shows how high that social behavior is reality and how intelligent are those whales. One picture is more worth than thousands of words... When you watch this movie you gonna realize this.
And the movie shows how cruel it is, that "we" keep this intelligent beings in captivity. It its not moral that the human mankind is doing that, because just we are capable of doing this. It is simply unacceptable as hell! I cannot point that out too much!
Those fun parks like SeaWorld should really release those whales, but as long as people are going there to see that show, as long as entry is paid and the money flows - I am afraid nothing is gonna happen.
On the other side I have to admit, that people are able to see those whales in captivity - and see how beautiful they are and get an awareness that we have to look after our oceans. But is it worth to distress those whales?
I do not think so.
Go! Watch it! Get your own opinion.
a pleasant surprise. a really good movie!
I loved it!
I am not the musical guy. I do not like the music, it feels so soft - so mainstream - so "happy everywhere" or "sadness overload".
And I think that musicals should be watched live in a theatre and not in a movie, because the story, songs etc. are written to be watched live. Just like movies should not be performed in theatre.
But I have to admit: Les Misérables was great! The actresses and actors were amazing, the music wonderful. But you have to watch the movie with good headphones - or if u lucky with a good sound system. :o)
The acting of Anne Hathaway was amazing. Big love! Just watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzNVmZfNoa8
The interpretation and renewed songs are perfect. Just Russel Crowe potential of singing was not the best, but it did not bother me at all. One of my favourite scenes / sing parts by the way is this clip. Sorry for the subs there:

So even if you are not into musicals, give recommend to give it a try and you might get surprised and you gonna like it.
9 out of 10 points for this "movie". But if you didn't like the two youtube links I put here - you better won't watch the movie.
Fuck me!
One of the BEST MOVIESI have ever seen. Surprisingly!
The movie is pretty old, I know. But I still love it to watch on a Sunday when you are wasted because Saturday night was a hard party night. :D
Hach =)
One of my favorite scenes :D
„A pair of childhood friends and neighbors fall for each other’s sons.“
I read this, and I thought: "W...what?"
The movie is based on a book called "The Grandmothers" and after watching this movie, I regret that I have read the book, because usually books are more intense that movies.
And this movie is intense!
The plot a little bit more explained:
Two mothers having two sons. All of them are living next to the beach as neighbors and friends. And they fall in love with each others sons.
It is something like a romantic movie with many drama-scenes in it. Usually I am not into romantic movies, because of all the Hollywood bullshit getting released. But this movie is far away from this "genre".
The acting from all four actors and actresses is amazingly good . Especially from Naomi Watts and Robin Wright! Awesome!
You also get stunning pictures, and a great atmosphere when watching this movie. Not all is said with words, many things with pictures. The acting is so good, that you also get a sense what they are feeling at the moment, and you get sucked in, in this crazy atmosphere.
Give it a try, I don't think you gonna regret it!
Another great movie from Ulrich Seidl - but it was a little bit too long.
Great actors as usual.
Great movie.
More than I expected
I <3 this movie!
Wallace and Gromit ftw!
Haha. I love the Wallace and Gromit movies.
Finally I 've watched the movie with some friends yesterday.
And I gotta say: It was really good. But there is happening so much. You don't even get time to breath sometimes. One incident after the next one. Bam, bam bam! And that about two hours long.
Thats not that bad if you are into an action movie. But for me, Star Trek was always more than Science Fiction with action scenes in it. And thats why the movie is only getting 8/10 points.
If I want to watch a movie with no bigger story in it, which is Science Fiction & Action based - I gonna watch Iron Man or something like that.
Nothing big is happening in the story line - that is what I missed most... maybe because of the many action scenes^^. But Star Trek Fans will like that Kahn is showing up and Tribbles too - and one scene with a windows between Spock & Kirk. But that felt more like the writers/director want do give the Star Trek fans something to like to movie more..... Hmmmmmm.. ladidadida... hm!
Something about the 3D pictures: Many scenes in that movie are happening so fast, that the whole picture is very blurry. And the director played with many close ups... which were strange to watch.
Even if the 3D effects are really good, you might consider the option to not watch it in 3D.
Well. The movie is great. And I definitely gonna watch it a second or third time.
If you are into Science Fiction or Action movies : Go to your preferred cinema theatre and enjoy.
If you also like Star Trek: Just lower a little bit your expectations and you gonna like it as well =)
I am going to see that movie tomorrow. I CAN'T WAIT!!! YAY YAY YAY
A really nice movie. Before I ve seen the movie I was a little bit concerned, because they are making 3 parts again of "The Hobbit" and the book itself is only about 230 pages long.
So there are many scene in the movie which are not in the book - so the story is a little bit different. I ve seen the movie in 3D and usually when you watch an movie in 3D there are only some scenes where the movie makes want to show the power of 3D. Well, not in that movie - and in my opinion thats the way 3D should be used. I like =)
There are great pictures as well - the whole movie long so that you really want to live in a Hobbit cave because they seem so cuddly. Characters are nice as well. Good actors.
Even the movie is long, I didn't get bored like in some parts of the Lord of the Ring movies. There are funny dialogues and some nice scenes: Who doesn't want to see a carriage pulled my cute rabbits^^ haha.
So - I would recommend to watch that movie and I am looking forward to see the next part.
Have fun.
One of my favorite movies.
The story is very different from the books. So u might also gonna try to read the book from Wolf Haas.
crazy movie.
really.
even better if u smoked some weed ^^
Much better if you only watch it once.
This movie has been in my library for a long time. Unwatched.
I prejudiced this movie too much.
Why? Because I thought, it is a movie about a boy who's getting in trouble, and finds himself on a small rescue boat on the ocean with a tiger. And the tiger. is getting his very best friend, they r gonna survive and: HAPPY END.
A Boy.
A Tiger.
On a boat.
Before watching this movie I thought, okay, this might get REALLY boring. Well I did not got bored at all! There was so much happing all the time.
I do not want to spoiler, but I loved the ending as well. Not the real big Hollywood - Ending where everyone is happy.
Stupid plot. Well, it wasn't.
When you watch this movie, you will get funny scenes (especially in the beginning), and really good actors.
You get stunning pictures and I do not mean the tiger by that. Sure the tiger / animals were GREAT, but I loved the pictures around the boat really much.
Life of Pi was one of the best movies I have seen this year... and it is October right now ;)
8/10
@dunpealhunter: you might never gonna read this, but I gotta say I really <3 your reviews.
Wow! That movie was a pleasant surprise!
I watched this movie, because I like zombie movies, and I like Nicholas Hoult: especially in the TV Show Skins he was really good. By the way he also played the young boy in About A Boy with Hugh Grant; if I am not mistaken.
So... two good points to watch a movie.
This movie isn't a standard-zombie movie: Zombies moving slow (or fast^^) to eat the people which are alive and are much more less in number and that 90 minutes long.
The movie starts with the perspective how its like to be a zombie. You got "friends", you have to eat something, you got problems with your skin, you don't really like to be dead... and then you fall in love with a girl. And why that? Because you were eating the brain of her boyfriend and so you get the memories of him. Haha!
But the problem is: you are dead, so you are not very attractive. And the girl is hot. And alive. Hm! :D
And so the story goes on. With some action scenes and it is a big love story! But you cannot compare it to Twilight. Twilight is shit compared to this movie.
There are so much funny scenes in it. I got to laugh many times. The action parts are good as well!
So if you are into zombie movies you definitely gonna like this, because it is something which you 've never seen before in this Sub-Genre. Enjoy it and have some fun! =)
First you got to know, that I like this kind of movies. Conspiracy theories with aliens are great. =)
The actors and actress are really playing great in this movie. And the Thriller-part of this movie are also good. I never get bored, and there are not too much alien-based bullshit in it. Or mystery stuff.
This movie is so strange. And good.
I have never seen the "romance - part" of a movie in such weird way. The action scenes are good, the animated objects (I do not want to spoiler too much) are really scary.
The bad side of the movie is, that there are so many plot holes . We watched the movie together and a friend mentioned that the writers and / or the director was a little bit lazy, because how they things explained (with back flashes) could be also explained in other ways. The plot holes are pretty clear, but it did not really matter - because the story is good, the movie is entertaining that the plot holes are not that disturbing. There are some twists in this movie, which might catch you with surprise. And thats something I really like about movies when I get caught of guard.
So if you want to watch a little bit strange movie, which is entertaining, a little bit scary, with some romance in it which is not kitschy but honest you should watch this movie.
I give it a rating of 8 points, it is a great movie, worth watching a second time with friends.
:-)
Wurst & Durst! :D
Haha.
Wow. Far more better than I expected it.
The plot seems so stupid that I was really curios to watch that movie - and I didn't get disappointed.
No boring scenes in it - good actors - good story.
I am not sure if I was able the follow the whole story. There are many hard cuts and switches between the different time lines - which can be very confusing.
There are soooo maaany hard cuts, which makes it really hard to understand the whole plot. I like confusing movies but its so hard to follow it sometimes. In the end of the movie they show all the characters which one actors played.
So you get a Aha! in the end.
But the director should have done that in another way during the movie. I am pretty sure I am gonna watch that movie a 2nd time and maybe I gonna write another comment on trakt then.
Some friends watched the movie in the cinema and they told me they felt the same way: confusion.
Confusion is okay for sure but in some way you should answer the open questions. And to do that in the end titles shouldn't be the way to do that.
Tom Hanks did his job well in that movie and some nice ideas in it and not boring. 8/10
Defiantly not a movie where u smoke some weed before watching it. ^^
I am no big fan of Spiderman, but the movies always were entertaining.
But I gotta say: this movie is the best of all Spiderman movies made. Wow. Amazing.
No big deal of identity hiding. No Hollywood bullshit love story.
Simply great.
