Gorgeous, gorgeous visuals

Rating: 8/10 (4 December 2009)

If anything, you need to see this film just to SEE this film.
The distance stop-motion (as well as 3D) technology has come is staggering.
The entire movie, visually, is a feast. It's dripping with color, and the sets are so beautifully, and ingeniously designed. (At one point, in a climactic scene I actually gasped when the set underwent a genius transformation)
The movement of the characters, the quality of the shots, the detail, the DETAIL, and the atmosphere are astounding.
As for the actual story it's alright. It kept me pretty interested but for some reason it felt just slightly lackluster, and the visuals were really what managed to capture me.
Brilliant film, I almost urge you to see it just to make the amount of work they must have put into it worthwhile.
