Pay Close Attention When Watching.

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2015)

When I say "pay close attention" I do not just mean the animation (though certainly pay attention to that because if you pause at any moment that is not a close up of a face you will be stunned at how beautiful the visuals are) but also pay attention to the subtle movements of peoples faces. The creators used a new technology to move muscles and fat in subtly realistic ways. It is not just technological aspects I am talking about: pay attention to the score and how well it runs with the mood and atmosphere of different scenes. Most importantly pay close attention to the dialogue as their is some great political subtext about diplomacy when you dive below the surface level of the film. All of these subtle things help to enhance the more obvious stuff like how three dimensional the characters are, how genuine the emotions are and how awesome the action is. This is a great film in my opinion, it is an absolute crime it did not receive an Oscar,an absolute crime it only has a 7.9/10 because of book puritans and overly concerned parents, and an absolute crime this did not at least make $750 million. If you have a 3d TV or a cinema is showing it in 3d or IMAX definitely watch it that way but even in 2d it is still an awesome film. Do not dismiss this because it is animated, you will regret it. I am giving this one the instant classic award.
