REVIEW: UP 3D


DIRECTED BY?:

Pete Doctor (Monster's Inc) and Scott Peterson (writer of Finding Nemo)

WHO'S IN IT?:
Ed Asner (Mary Tyler Moore), Christopher Plumber (Dracula 2000), Jordan Nagai, Delroy Lindo (Romeo Must Die)

WHAT IS IT ABOUT, IN TWO SENTENCES?:
An elderly man sets out on an adventure to escape living his remaining years in a retirement home. However he accidently brings along a seemingly annoying boy scout...

ANYTHING OSCAR WORTHY?:
The film is a technical marvel, expect nominations in sound design, sound editing, and editing. The way that the film conveys so much with its visuals especially in its dialogue-free montage towards the beginning of the film expect a best director nomination. The screenplay is also quite strong so expect an original screenplay nomination, especially since Oscar has favoured Pixar in the past.

ANYTHING RAZZIE WORTHY?:Nothing, the film is pretty much perfect. Exciting, emotional and funny, it's everything that we have come to expect from Pixar (ignoring the awful Cars).

SO HOW MANY STARS THEN?:
This comes highly recommended. Just make sure you bring tissues.
5 stars out of 5
