Epic

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2016)

As this movie comes out on DVD/Bluray I purchased it the minute I could, because when I watched this movie I was amazed. For starters the way the whole movie looked was breathtaking and it's Oscar wins proved that. The way each scene looks gives you the feel of a cold snowy mountain. A very underrated aspect about this movie is it's visual effects, although they aren't used too often, they are amazing. Some scenes I knew used visual effects, but I still couldn't wrap my mind around how they did it. Now, the film isn't perfect as it can be a little slow at some points, but overall the pacing is used very well since there is a lot of action and a lot of gore (if you're into that). The main problem and really only problem I had with the movie was some character back story was confusing and it didn't really focus on back story. Although this movie isn't perfect it had some great performances and was very thrilling and exciting.
