'Up' Soars High! A Must See!

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2009)

Up, to me, is one of the most deeply moving, truly funny, and emotionally charged movies I have seen in recent history. The characters, while not necessarily very deep, were very realistic, sometimes almost too realistic. The open sequence by itself is enough to move anyone to some type of emotional response.
I saw it in Disney Digital 3-D, and it did not disappoint. While it didn't have any cheesy "pop out of the screen" effects like Dreamworks' 'Monsters vs. Aliens', the 3-D here was done in such a manner as to make it look as though you were actually there, with incredible attention to detail. Everything came off of the screen as if it stood before me from hair on Dug's body to the minute reflections off of the balloons, even the details on the clouds were fantastic, I didn't even know clouds had details! All in all, the movie is a triumph, and everyone who enjoys a good movie should definitely not pass up the opportunity to see this movie!
