Not your typical plumber.
This is not the movie for those of you too busy remembering the good old days of NES with Mario as the hero. This is a take on Luigi and Daisy's story. Those that think this is all about the princess in pink, you are quite mistaken. This movie takes some of the classic game info (Yoshi, babombs, fungi, and two plumber brothers), and gives it a touch of realism.Imagine somthing happens and instead of the Dinosaurs dying off, a split in reality occurs. One universe humans evolve from apes, in the other they evolve from Dinos. Koopa is attempting to re-merge the two worlds together and de-evolve the ape-humans in order to rule.The movie is alternative universe, and you aren't going to find the main hero wearing red overalls. If you can see Luigi as the hero, instead of just the scared or clumsy sidekick and see Daisy in her element, the tomboy that gives a more independent definition to the word princess, you will definitely enjoy this movie.The movie could definitely use a re-release to get it out there to new fans so that more people can appreciate this film.
