Really enjoyable movie!

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2014)

Hugo is a boy who's farther taught him to fix all different types of machinery, in particular clocks. His farther found a automaton (mechanical man) in the museum where he works they spent all the time they could in trying to fix it but before they could his farther died in a fire. Hugo then has to live in a station with his drunken uncle who soon leaves which means Hugo is left to run the clocks by himself and to try and fix the automaton in hope it unlocks a message from his farther. Hugo on his adventures to find parts to fix the mechanical man meets a shopkeeper named George Melies (Ben Kingsley) and his god-daughter (Chloë Grace Moretz) Hugo finds that they have a surprising connection to his father and the automaton this not only helps Hugo but George Melies too. This all in all makes for a really enjoyable film, the film its self is beautiful, given the chance, i would love to see how good it would look on Blu ray. The cast were really good, particularly liked Sacha Baron Cohen's roll as the strict station inspector. Ben Kingsley and Chloë Moretz where also excellent Chloë had one of the best performances i had seen from her i have to say. Asa Butterfield was perfect for Hugo you really believed he could be a little boy who lived in the walls of a station. Also i have to mention the great work of Martin Scorsese this is a much different style to his dark and gritty films people know him for and i just have to say well done to him for taking this on and succeeding in doing so. Hugo is a really good and enjoyable film and definitely worth watching.
