One looooooooong chase scene - skip it.

Rating: 4/10 (8 March 2013)

Yet another wasted effort and a waste of wonderful technology. I saw The Adventures of Tinin in my home theater with a 3-D projector system. The 3-D Blu-ray disc is reference material and the technology used to produce this animated wonder is astounding but the movie lacks in real interest and lacks any real depth in the story. The same old treasure hunt with the annoying villain unrelentingly chasing our hero for the length of the movie. While the arresting beauty of the animation will hold you sway for a while it cannot sustain the onerous weight of such an uninspired yarn on its own. Then to top it off it's a damn serial! So now I have to wait 3 years to find out if Tintin and Captain Haddock get the rest of the treasure? Sorry, I'm getting too old to wait around that long. I suspect this title will soon end up in the bargain bin.
