A forgettable movie from Dreamworks Animation

Rating: 6/10 (31 March 2013)

I think The Croods quite works as kids movie, kids will love the character on this movie and the acceptable story. But for me this movie is unnecessary and so predictable. The story could be made a little bit more complex than this, especially the ending, they should stop the ending earlier without adding some scenes which ruins it.
Still there is positive side from this movie. No doubt visual effects from Dreamworks Studio is great, although not the best. I actually enjoy and laugh at some scenes of the movie, it's ridiculous but funny. The best thing from the movie is the 3D, it really works. The 3D effect really watchable and consistent in every frame. Dreamworks animation continue their good looking 3D after making great shot in Madagascar 3.
Overall The Croods is a good family movie and will entertain the viewers by it's eye-popping 3D. But compared with other Dreamworks Animation best creation like Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon or even Madagascar, it still below standard
