Tracks of Distraction

Watched it in 3D today. To be honest, I didn’t see much of a difference, noticed a scene or two popped up off the screen out of the 1 hour, 30 minutes I’ve been there. But since I was wearing the goggles the entire time, I barely realized that it is already in 3D. I did see that the French subtitles were popping up, and it looked blurred the moment I took the glasses off. But since I ignore those subtitles anyway, there isn’t really much of a difference. It is still a good movie to watch, though I would be perfectly happy even if I was only watching it in 2D. Most of the time I can’t tell the difference when watching it with the glasses and without the glasses. It’s already a visual treat with the 2D version. I’d say, another plus for Pixar with this film. I mean, going to South America by using lots of balloons to lift your house! Leave it to Pixar to think of great ideas for a story. My favorite character in the film is Russell, no contest. He is just too adorable! So agile too, for a fat kid. Or maybe that’s the adrenaline working. Haha. I love the last scene where he gets the badge for helping the elderly, but looked like he just survived a dragon attack. I was laughing hard at that one. Another scene that got me entertained was the battle between Carl Fredricksen and Charles Muntz. For one moment, it’s as if you are watching a battle between a Jedi and a Sith. The next scene, they couldn’t attack because their bones were cracking as they raised their weapons. You suddenly remember that these are old people to begin with. Haha! The one thing that really made me burst out laughing is Alpha. I mean, his voice! The whole cinema was laughing with me whenever he talks. It was just too crazy! You really have to hear it for yourself. Ohohohoho! This story didn’t make me cry as much as the other Pixar films though. I don’t know, maybe the sad part was introduced a bit too early with the death of Ellie. So when the conflict of the film came up, when Russell left Carl to save the bird Kevin, it was just an ‘aww’ moment for me. Or maybe I was just too busy laughing at the antics of Dug and the rest of the dog pack. So how did it fare compared with the rest of the Pixar films? Not much, I’m afraid. It’s kind of hard to beat the previous films when you have to compete with a lot of good films in the past: Wall-E, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story, The Incredibles, A Bug’s Life, and so on. Maybe a fourth or a fifth place spot for me among all of the Pixar films I’ve watched. Watched it in 3D today.
