My movie mind was to small to comprehend...

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2004)

As the year of 2004 comes to an end it's OK to say that we had a generally good movie year. None the less, it's not over 'till it's over, and Pixar newbie Brad Bird is fighting for the years best movie. Big titles that we're really disappointing such as 'Troy' and 'Spider-man 2' could never live up to the very high expectations the audience had, none the less, they seemed to do big at the box office, I for one can speak freely and say, I've seen a lot of big budget crap this year. Movies that we're actually quite original like 'Van Helsing' where killed straight away by pro-critics. Maybe it lacked in script, but it payed out double maybe even triple when we check out the CGI that was created. However, nothing could completely satisfy my needs and expectations. I guess I just want to much on screen for the miserable 150miljon dollars, right?
I felt this way basically most of the time when I saw a big movie. OK, it wasn't all bad, but I wanted something extra. If a complete feature length movie can be as good as the trailer, I will be satisfied and guess what, 'The Incredibles' pull it of. I'll say even more, it gave me a complete 120minute during thrill throughout my whole body, and when I left the teathre, my mouth was still open. I just couldn't believe what I saw. The plot is as well formed as the characters developed. But and here is where the huge BUT comes in when we go and see a movie like this, we expect to be blown away by the graphics. And that's exactly what happened. I just can't comprehend what I witnessed during the whole film. It's amazingly exiting and fast. It contains look-a-like scenes from all the major films, but in stat of just doing it OK, it does everything better. To name one, the tree chase with Dash is simply outstanding.
Without any doubt, Pixar studio's has not only raised the bar animation wise, but this film will make us expect more from movies in general. This one has it all, and there's absolutely nothing that could have made it even better than it already is. I give it a big 11/10 and make a wish upon a star for sequels.
Pixar, thanks a million! You are well worthy of your 8euro's admission!!!
