It's American --- and it's ironic!

Rating: 7/10 (25 October 2009)

The Incredibles is not just an impeccably crafted entertainment package, it is self-mocking and ironic, qualities that rarely inhabit the American soul. It is a scintillatingly gifted production, but as so often, being American, it wants to supply more than just enough, so it's a wee bit long, and a wee bit convoluted. But these are only quibbles: it's hard to imagine anything more compelling for the juvenile mind --- except experiencing it in three dimensions. The sound is super: in our home we have cinema surround-sound and some of the effects were highly dynamic, zapping your ears as well as your eyes. Highly recommended for wild distraction and some moments of hilarity. Definitely watch it beside your children.
