Visually Overwhelming, Touching Story

Rating: 7/10 (11 December 2011)

Wow. I was totally blown away. "Hugo" is nothing like what I expected. I thought it was a children-only film but it turned out to be much, much more.
Visually, this is one of the movies with the best effects up to date, not to mention the 3D which is the best I've seen. Centering around a train station and Paris, the environment is simply stunning. I think the visual achievement of this movie has brought visual effects in movies to a whole new level. The background music is incredible too.
But it doesn't stop there. The amazing scenery is supported by a great plot which revolves around a orphan boy and a teenage girl. A story of passion and courage is unraveled.
"Hugo" is a beautiful art piece that should be well remembered. Let's hope it make it into the five nominees for visual effects and hopefully also other awards.
