One Word: BRILLIANCE

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2011)

Here in Richmond, we have the privilege of viewing movies in a top notch place called The Bow Tie Cinemas. Going to the movies is still an "experience" at The Bow Tie, and all viewers alike go just for that. Tonight was no exception to say the least. My brother and I had been seeing the previews for this movie, and from the start we both were completely awestruck by how incredible it looked from the trailer itself. Well, let me tell you, we were NOT disappointed. AT ALL. This movie was everything that a movie should be. The cast was perfectly picked, the acting spot-on, and the cinematography was beyond articulate. Ben Kingsley played his character to the "T", and both Asa Butterfield and Chloe Grace Moretz were surprisingly splendid. I say surprisingly because the acting I witnessed from these two kids was nothing short of brilliance; something you don't witness everyday with young actors/actresses. We were lucky enough to view it in 3D, and that just made it all the better. I don't like reviewing movies just to completely summarize the movie like so many people on here do. I am reviewing it so that you can know what to expect. And what you should expect from this movie is sheer perfection. SOLID 10/10
