Hi there movie fans. It's time for yet another review. I may not have all the wise cracking, side splitting, Chindian famous wit that I have been secreting out for a while now. It's been rather stressful at work and also I am having UPSR blues. Mike is due to sit for his first major exam in a week.
Anyway, we still had time to go to the movies and we decided to take a stab at Pixar's latest animation, UP. Make sure you don't miss the beginning. Get to the cinema early.
UP was not one of our designated movies to watch this holiday season. It looked depressing with an old geezer for a hero and a small bumbling boy (from what we could make out from the trailer). So we decided to give it a slip. Then all the reviews starting pouring in. I started to ask myself....are reviews made of liquid form? I mean, isn't "pouring" reserved for liquid type materials? How the heck does review AND emotions (while we are at it) "pour"???? From where? Into what?
I digress.
The reviews were very impressive and we started thinking maybe we should check it out. So we headed out, my cousin KLY's family and us to Tropicana City Mall. It's the newest mall in our neighbourhood and it is actually a pretty cool mall. It's not too big and there is something for everybody. The GSC cinema was not too crowded and if you are waiting for your food and the stands, they will actually deliver it to you. Pretty cool huh!
Anyway, UP was REALLY an enjoyable movie. It had a very strong story line which was really realistic and makes a lot of sense (as far as cartoons go). A good mixture of friendship, parenthood, courage and of course doing the right thing. As with most Pixar/Disney movies, there was a lot of laughter and good jokes.
It's about the story of an old man who was an introvert but fell in love and married a adventurous girl. Life was normal but they couldn't go to a particular fabled place in South America until his wife died of old age and he was alone. Finally, deciding to take things into his own hands, he managed to get going only to find things are not what it seems in this fabled land in South America.
And starts the adventure with a so-called Wilderness Ranger thingy kid who has no idea how to live in the wilderness. But what an adventure they had. Finally the old man shed his grouch of course and understood that life in itself was an adventure. As with all cartoons, all's well ends well. I strongly recommend this movie as fun for the whole family or just with your loved one.
If you truly want to enjoy this movie, there is one teensy weensy condition though. No matter what, this cannot be broken else all will fall apart. Are you ready? Are you tough enough?
Here you go. You must not....You cannot.....question the logic of having an old geezer blowing thousands of balloons in one night, tying it to his fireplace and then lifting the ENTIRE house to fly all the way to South America....without passport and going through duty free shops!
You must accept this one tiny fact and your life in the cinema with this movie will be bliss! Enjoy.
