A Tremendous Experience

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 1998)

I really, really enjoyed this movie. Beyond that, though, it made clear the massive creativity of its makers. It was also a technical tour-de-force. I remember that when I saw Jurrasic Park for the first time, I was blown away by the scene where we see the dinosaurs on the plain for the first time. I felt that I had seen something truly new. I felt the same way during the opening scene of Bug's Life when we're treated to a animated meadow, with blowing grass and waving trees, that is virtually indistinguishable from reality.
On top of that, the movie has a fantastic level of action, almost frantic at times. I'm anxious to see it again to pick up points I may have missed. And make sure you stay for the credits. They may be the best part of the whole thing.
