How to Train Your Dragon 3D IMAX

To be honest, I wasn't very interested in watching How to Train Your Dragon. I'm so glad that I read the tweets of /Film's Dave Chen .

This movie is a must see. It's beautiful, moving, and so fun!

The 3D elements work well within the film and the animation is amazing. And it should be! The directors also are responsible for Lilo and Stitch. From the character (and dragon) designs to the story, everything about this animation is wonderfully executed. You really feel for the Hiccup, the main character. He is a Viking teen who is not quite part of the group because, well, he's more of a dreamer than a dragon slayer. Even though he desperately wants to please his father, he is more of a hindrance than a help.

Believe me, the movie offers a lot to both adults and children.

I went to a 11:30 AM showing today that was filled with children and the room was quiet through the film! They were totally engrossed in the story. Or I was just so engrossed in it that I didn't hear any fussing.


Since the movie may not be in 3D for too long (with Clash of the Titans coming out next week), so please go watch it while you can. It is worth the extra 3D fee.

Pixar's Up

iconicon Lovers or animation and wonderful storytelling know that Pixar has been tops for the past decade or so. And while the trend of some digital animation houses is to pack as much popculture as possible into the hour and a half or so of runtime, Pixar stays classy by keeping their content focused on what is important. Story.


And it is the power of their stories that make Pixar so successful. With their latest effort, Pixar not only proves that they are have great visionary directors, but that they also are still growing and evolving as storytellers.

UP appeals to audiences of all ages. There is a great amount of emotion that beats within this story. And while it features a geriatric gentleman and a pre-teen wilderness scout, it's packed full of entertainment power.
