Rio - just another animated movie


Rio is about Blu, a macaw who is the last male left of its species. He meets the bird of his dreams Jewel and together they take off on an adventure in Rio de Janeiro. The movie is from the creators of Ice age and has topped the box office at number one with $40M, beating scream 4, Hop, Soul surfer and Hanna. The movie has created such a big hype because of the excellent graphics and 3D outlook of the movie, which shows Rio de Janeiro as such a breathtaking and beautiful place. In interviews about the movie it is said that the directors and artists have captured Rio de Janeiro exactly how it is for real which is why it is such a good display for people who have never been to Brazil.
The film has various dance numbers with very nice music and the soundtrack is very appealing. In a way it reminded me a bit of the Lion King soundtrack but much more jolly. The cast of this film is very good with character voices done by famous big actors such as Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, Leslie Mann, Jamie Fox, Jemaine Clement and many more. Some of the actors, Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway and Jemaine Clement have sung a few songs themselves.
I went to see this movie and while the graphics and the 3D are excellent and amazing it’s not so different from other movies in terms of the storyline. So then what makes this movie so big? The captivating graphics, the 3D, the soundtrack, the various dances in the film and the way the whole movie is made and directed to bring together such a colorful 3D graphical display to entertain. Over all I would recommend this movie as a good watch for a fun-filled 3D experience, not so much for the story which is nothing out of the ordinary.
