Monsters vs Aliens
We haven't had a great deal of luck with animated features recently, so my expectations were low when I grabbed Monsters vs Aliens. However, since I'd hired it for free on the back of a phone credit purchase, there was nothing to lose.
So, to the chase: it was AWESOME. Why had I only heard lukewarm things about this film? I loved it! In 2D at that, and with no awareness that I was missing out on anything. I find it very difficult to take the current enthusiasm for 3D with any seriousness; too much time in the technology trenches back at DDD. /insert rambling old-tech war stories here/.
I never thought I'd see Pumpkin in the movies, but there he was, playing the giant fluffy lovable but destructive insect thing. All he had to do was wander into shot and I'd be in stitches.
It had cartoon physics, with unusual realism. Dr Strangelove, and the cow from Jurassic Park. Everything. Awesome.
