Wreck-It Ralph = Best Videogame Movie Ever

Wreck-It Ralph... Dayum... AWESOME + EPIC = AWESOMEPIC... Yes, mandatory capital letters... Good night...

— Ani (Spell 'Awe-ni') (@Anistuffs) February 17, 2013

Seriously, go through this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_on_video_games
Can you find any film that's better?
...
I rest my case.

If you haven't yet seen this, why the heck not? I know it wasn't released in my city because the Cinema-hall owners in Kolkata are fucking stupid but why haven't you seen it yet? Correct that. You'll thank me later.

In any case, the film is Pure Awesomeness. Good day everyone :D

The Eronev Storyline

Note 1: This post contains my understanding of the storyline of the 2 Minecraft Custom Maps: Eronev Mansion Adventure & Eronev 2: The Soul Cauldron, both made by the awesome mapmaker, Jigarbov. I don't know if he has the whole plot in writing but if he doesn't, here's my understanding of it.
Obviously, plot endings & spoilers are abound so if you haven't played (or watched any videos of) either & do not wish to be spoiled on a very intriguing storyline, I'd strongly suggest not to read any further. You have been warned: SPOILER ALERT.

Note 2: Do understand that this post does NOT contain storyline of Eronev Chronicles: The Flood as I haven't yet played that map. When I do I'll make another post regarding my updated understanding of the Eronev storyline. So PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL any plotline of that map. Thank you :)

Okay then, let's begin. BTW in case you don't know, the best ending of Eronev 1 (where all 8 villagers are saved & the as-of-yet unnamed demon is defeated) is the canonical one which is what I'll discuss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eronev Mansion Adventure

In Eronev 1, you are a boy (non-canonically named Heronev) who's returning to his home village/town of Eronev after having gone on a long search for his parents who left him many years ago. Heronev finds that people are going missing in town & the remaining people that the old man (Ben) living in the titular Mansion is to blame. Heronev finds an underground gauntlet-like chamber under the pyramid in the playground & finds a little boy trapped inside who claims Ben put him there. Heronev 'rescues' the boy by grabbing his head & putting it in his bag (which, let's all be honest here, is rather freaky-deaky).

Heronev also spots from a window in the gauntlet mechanism control chamber (from where he gathers the redstone dust required) Ben, standing next to a cauldron-looking thing in which fluid that resembles lava is pouring from somewhere. Heronev opens the locked gate of the mansion & makes his way inside & finds Ben, who claims that he's protecting the town from evil forces yet the town people continues to antagonize him.

Heronev hears & rescues 2 more villagers from above a waterfall from one of the mansion towers. Upon returning to the mansion lobby, Ben (appearing to be slightly unhappy) tells Heronev to use the mansion's basement rail system to go to 4 'outposts' & activate some system as said system is apparently reporting a failure & if that occurs the village is 'doomed'.
Here is where I'm confused slightly. If a certain task progression is maintained Ben will act according to the above paragraph. However if another task progression is taken (I haven't been able to figure out how the task wiring is done), Ben will appear to be VERY CROSS. I don't know which one is canonical so I'm including both.
In this second case, Ben will yell saying that those people that Heronev rescued are necessary sacrifices that must be made in order for the others to live. He then threatens Heronev to activate the 4 'outposts' or he'll destroy the town & all the inhabitants.

Heronev travels to the 3 power outposts (in the forest, desert & glacier) & 1 cooling outpost (under the seashore of Eronev) & activates them. He also finds 5 more people, 1 in each outpost & 1 in the other tower, & rescues them all by grabbing their heads in his bag. Upon returning to the mansion, Ben reveals that the village of Eronev is plagued by a demon & the 'outposts' power a forcefield which keeps the demon locked away. However, the 'outposts' was powered down for too long & now the demon will be free soon. However, if Heronev can travel to the 5th 'soul outpost' in time, there may still be a chance to stop the demon.

Arriving at the soul station, Heronev is shocked to find that it resembles a torture chamber. Ben contacts him via the communication stone & tells that because Heronev saved all the villagers, Ben cannot charge the generators. As explosions are heard, Ben says that the demon is here & then heard running away.
Heronev exits in the mansion lobby & finds that it has become corrupted by huge red veins. He also spots a huge demon looming over the village. A villager who managed to run inside the mansion says that the demon is undefeatable from the outside & so Heronev has to destroy it from the inside. Heronev takes the advice & plunges inside the demon's mouth. Inside, the rescued villagers agree to sacrifice themselves to damage the demon. The villagers proceed to destroy the demon's brain, stomach, heart etc. The last of the villagers join forces with Barry, a villager who was already inside the demon, to deliver the final blow as Heronev makes a daring escape.

Heronev arrives at the destroyed village to see the red veins clearing away. The survivors rejoice & welcomes Heronev as their hero. Ben sends a last transmission through a communication stone saying he will return & also that Heronev's parents said 'hi'.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Soul Cauldron

In Eronev 2, you (canonically a girl BTW) start the map (canonically) near a pine tree, after flowing down a lava-like fluid from a giant pipe, inside what appears to be a superhuge cauldron. She (unnamed as-of-yet) immediately meets Jarig who appears to know her & mentions that she's lost her memories. She runs to safety from zombies which are rising out of the lava surrounding the area to Jarig's base/home where he has started some farming & etc for survival. Jarig says that they're stuck at this place but they've been building a contraption called CTM (Centurion Transport Machina) which may help them escape. She scrounges some supplies from the nearby area & finds some villagers who've set up shop in the cauldron (how does that even work?).

A point of note is that Jarig resembles Heronev (both have sponges as their body). Also the power-weakening blackish stones (bedrock) in E2 is found to have gravity-defying properties in E1 (although I'm not sure if that sidequest is canonical or not).

From the shopowners, they find location to some dungeons which may contain the things needed to complete the CTM. She & Jarig manages to find a Diary by Ben whom Jarig suspects to reside in the giant eye that is floating in the sky in the middle of the cauldron (yes, weird, I know, I didn't make the story). Ben, in his diary, talks about finding the soul cauldron under a pyramid in the sand near some mansion. One is to put souls in this cauldron. The cauldron has 2 realms, the soul & the orb realm, which contain a lava-like transmission fluid for souls & water, respectively. There are some structures of unknown origin in these realms & apparently, if the right souls are put in, they'll multiply.

The girl & Jarig travel to a water puzzle in the Hellish Ravine & working together, collect the first CTM piece. Then they travel to the Petrified Tree deep below their base & find the second piece while battling some invincible monsters. Also, the girl makes it to the eye & finds Ben who says that he's watching them & she has made a grave mistake coming to the eye & tells her to complete her & Jarig's task & leave him alone. She finds another of Ben's diaries where he talks about being able to grab souls of people without destroying their bodies in a manner that resembles having lava poured over the person. The soul arrives in the cauldron & the body behaves normally 'in the real world' although the bodies lose their sense of self-wellbeing & one of them tells Ben to take their head. Ben surmises that maybe the head is the only part that links to the soul so it won't matter. Ben talks about keeping these people separate. In the soul realm the souls are supposed to multiply but they don't, only one has done so & they don't even know it. In the orb realm, the sould multiply easily but become fractured & unusable. Ben talks about finding more souls.

Jarig finds & activates a portal which leads to the orb realm. In there Jarig sees another version of himself & becomes scared. There is also an eye in the sky similar to the soul realm. The orb realm is filled to the brim with souls (pumpkins) which appears in larger & larger numbers constantly (multiplying). Jarig becomes scared that maybe he & the girls are both dead. Some of the souls are silent, some speak about being in horrible pain, some just ramble nonsense, some scream at them saying they doesn't belong there & they should leave. Jarig also finds an imposter looking sorta like him.

Jarig finds a soul who actually talks coherently & says that after a while being in this realm, you lose the sens of time & eventually the will to live. Jarig figures out that the more the souls separate, more appears (i.e. multiplying). The more they multiply/'split', the angrier/more silent they get. However, Jarig finds it weird that they have no bodies yet he does. Also that he's been seeing glimpses of himself lately & surmises if he's a clone or is he also 'splitting' like the rest. Also that monsters seems to able to pick up & wear the souls like hats which terrifies him.

The girl manages to reach the eye in the sky & finds Ben again who screams at her & tells her to get out. Ben also screams that neither she nor anyone else can never escape this place & whatever she is planning will fail. She finds another of Ben's diaries & find out that split & fractured souls stick together near their original one in the orb realm. Jarig was the soul who split in the soul realm & the girl is one of the original souls Ben captured but finds it odd that she hasn't multiplied yet even though she has traversed between both realms. Ben also finds her amnesia troubling. Ben suspects that the CTM is Jarig's plan to return to a place called Eronev. Ben says that the souls are the only hope & if he can get some more to split/multiply like Jarig did, he'll have enough power to keep *something* (the name is illegible) from coming back for good as 'the generators can only keep him gone for so long'.

Jarig & the girl find another dungeon in an orb & collect another CTM piece. Then they arrive at the Doors of Confusion, a place full of many shops & people & many doors all of which contain a piece of a puzzle which leads the 2 of them to the last CTM piece. Jarig accidentally reveals that the 2 of them are romantically involved in some way (which the girl doesn't remember due to her amnesia).

Jarig & the girl complete the CTM which transports them to a room with an altar. Jarig goes ahead of her & as she reaches the room, she sees Ben standing on one side as souls merge & coalesce above Jarig who feels extreme pain. Ben tells them to run for it & the girl does, collecting Jarig's diary as it fell near him. But one the way back, she chooses to turn back & help Jarig but when she gets back, she sees Jarig has grown to a HUGE size & has become maddened with power of the souls & he attacks both the girl & Ben with arrows, spells, fireballs, monsters, everything. The girl uses Ben's idea to fire streams of energy into Jarigs giant eyes, hurting him. Ben then completes what he calls the ultimate weapon, a way to conjure dark magic energy into fireballs which can be used to hurt Jarig's weak points which were exposed in the previous attack. The girl succeeds which results in destroying the huge body of Jarig & reduces him to his original self. Jarig apologizes profusely begs for forgiveness & the girl, having finally gotten time to read his diary, realizes that Jarig is her husband & he had to keep quiet about that lest the emotion caused her to forget everything again.

Ben conjures a vision of the village of Eronev in his observation room. The girl finds the image familiar. Ben reveals that Eronev is her hometown & she can see a boy on a bridge which Ben reveals as her child who's about to enter Ben's mansion as the villagers told him Ben is a bad guy (let's be honest here, isn't he?). Ben says if the boy messes up, he can use Jarig to defeat 'any evil'. Ben says he'll tell the boy that his parents said 'hi'.

Ben's final diary page reveals that the CTM is a machine of extreme power & that Jarig is possibly the only soul that ever needed to multiply (Ben misread some scriptures that he mentions) & he alone & strong & smart enough to defeat *something*. When the CTM activated all the souls from both the realms combined with Jarig. Now Jarig is back to normal but the power remains & Ben just needs a few more souls to pour in & when *something* returns, 'it will be Jarig who fights him'. Ben says against his hopes that the boy will take a while longer to return, he already has & Heronev may cause trouble.

Jarig, having recovered, plans on how to save their son with the girl & also how they may escape this place as he fears 'Ben has some twisted plan for us'.
I don't at all understand the line 'but I'd rather us do our own thing. Let's sleep on it.' HOW does that make any sense if in the previous line Jarig talks about Ben's twisted plans for them? JUST HOW is that line logically following that?
The girl then falls asleep while thinking of the many unanswered questions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that is my understanding of the plot of Eronev 1 & 2. As you can clearly see there are HUGE GAPING plot holes that bug me in all the wrong places. I only hope that these plot holes may be addressed in The Flood.

Thank you for reading (or scrolling down to the end) of this wall of text. I find the storyline very intriguing but personally, I think, Jig is taking this Ben's-secret-plan-deal wayyy too far. In order to keep a mysterious atmosphere just to make sequels, he's made Ben behave like a bad guy & there is no justification for that as of yet. If Jig doesn't provide one in The Flood, I refuse to accept Ben being a good guy. Ben's behaviour is appearing more & more like an asspull by the author IMBHO.

In any case, till next time crickets.

Sherlock Holmes & I

We go ways back. Really. I grew up reading Sherlock Holmes.

I love detective stories. Not sure why though. I don't think I can provide a satisfactory answer as to why I love detective stories; I just do.

Since I was a little kid, I loved reading books. Still do although nowadays gaming takes up most of my free time but ever so often I find a book that I just have to gorge down, to plough through at breakneck speed. In any case, my first detective series was Feluda, arguably the best Bengali detective series. Yes, I will argue that point. & from there I became interested in Sherlock Holmes because Holmes was Feluda's idol (despite being fictional) as a detective.

Anyways, soon after, I was gifted a Bengali version of The Return of Sherlock Holmes. Yeah, that's the funny part. I read about SH surviving his 'death' before reading about the actual 'dying' part XD

I enjoyed those books immensely & seeing that, my mother dug out of old books, a full collection book of Sherlock Holmes (in Bengali of course). I read through all of it & became a full on SH fanboy :P
[Yes, I'm aware of the irony that I read them in Bengali. Give me a break; I was a kid]

I loved the stories & the translation was really really good, much better than the copy of The Return of Sherlock Holmes that I was gifted prior (although that was because the one I had prior was a translation aimed towards kids & the one my mother had, wasn't). I enjoyed all the little stories, the novels, everything. I agree that I didn't like some of the very last stories but other than that, it was an awesome series & made me a complete fan of detective stories :)

Anyways, right now, as of this writing, I have 3 full collections of Sherlock Holmes. My mother's old collection, a different Bengali translation & an unabridged English version (which I haven't gone around reading, just an FYI).

P.S. In case you're curious, my mother & her brother bought the SH collection by saving their lunch money from their college days. The same way they also bought every single Tintin comic (this time in English because the Bengali translation wasn't made until long after).

Anyways, being a full on SH fanboy, I was rather angry when Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes movie came out in 2009. When I saw the trailer I was disgusted. Utterly disgusted at the adaptation. What is this? Some sort of James Bond movie? WHAT? This isn't Sherlock Holmes? This isn't the man I read stories of as a kid? How dare you rape one of my childhood heroes like that? How dare you?

This mentality lasted for quite a while & the sequel, A Game of Shadows, didn't really help with that.

It wasn't until Bhai told me that he liked the movies (the little part he saw & the trailer) that I started to reconsider my stance. Bhai has read the Sherlock Holmes stories & yet here he was, telling me that he liked the movies & my little fanboy bubble started to pop. I realized that if I consider the movies as only using the names from characters in Sherlock Holmes & is just a completely new story with new people (as in this SH is not the one in the books) I realized that the movie can be quite enjoyable.

Forcing myself to consider that the movie is basically a James Bond film in Victorian Times, I watched Downey's Sherlock Holmes. & to my great surprise, I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was crazy, it was so different, yet I liked it. & right there, my fanboy bubble just dissipated entirely. My snobby atitude was preventing me from enjoying a movie which was very enjoyable on it's own merits & not having any relation with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books. & I didn't realise that.

This mentality is also what allowed me to enjoy the Spider-Man reboot. I completely considered this a separate film & not being biased by my experience with the first series.

Anyways, just a few days ago, I watched A Game of Shadows & I liked it as well. & that's where things got weird. I was interested in seeing what other adaptations were made of Sherlock Holmes & went on wikipedia. I found 2 that struck me as interesting - Sherlock & Elementary.

Now I had heard of Sherlock previously but for some reason, when I heard it was based in the future, I imagined it to be based in our future not as in the present. So I thought the series was actually a sci-fi futuristic detective series which, let's all be honest here, would be FRIGGIN' AMAZING, but I never really got around seeing it until a few days ago when I found the series again.

I saw the pilot & within about 8 minutes, I was hooked. The episodes are a bit big for my taste but I can't hold that against such an awesome show.

I also saw Elementary. It was a VERY novel premise & I was very glad it was made so good. I enjoyed it thoroughly as well & right now, I'm ploughing through both serieses (serieses needs to be a valid word dammit) & enjoying every moment of them :D

& um, there you are. A little wall-of-text about my adventure with Sherlock Holmes. Now if you'll excuse me, I have 2 TV series to finish watching. Farewell & Have a nice day/night/whatever the time is over there :)

A Couple Personal Movie Reviews

Recently, as in, around the end of December & the beginning of January, I saw a couple of movies which started with me taking Bhai to see Rise of the Guardians (in 3D^TM).

The movies I saw after that were Brave (with Bhai & Boney), Osmosis Jones (rewatch, also only with Boney because Bhai went back home), The Amazing Spider-Man, Skyfall, In Time & 9 (these last ones, foreveralone.ani).

In any case, I posted some review-ish tweets on my Twitter but I've been wanting to write something down or make an Ani's Stuffs vlog but I'm feeling lazy. So a blogpost it is :P
Warning: As I wrote this post I inadvertently turned it into a rather long wall of text, which was actually more work than if I had made a video so...yeah...

Anyways, just so we're on the same page. These reviews are completely personal & thus heavily biased. Enjoy :)
Let's start.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rise of the Guardians

Related Tweet:

Back from Rise of the Guardians. My reaction: Very nice. Bhai's reaction: Awesome. Thanks @dwanimation. Happy Holidays :D
— Ani (Spell 'Awe-ni') (@Anistuffs) December 25, 2012

I like it. Quite a lot actually. very fun movie to watch with kids & best part, the hall was about a third full & there were no crying babies nor cellphones (well there's always one but that was it). So we had a pretty good movie experience.
The 3D was very well done. Not intrusive like, "WOAH, THAT DUDE JUST FLEW IN MY FAICE!!one!!" but just there for the moment when you do notice it & realize, "Hey, that's pretty good." & that is how 3D should be used.

On reflection, the overall story was pretty standard & expected. Didn't like some of the plot. Liked some of the rest. Ending was...mm not gonna spoil for those who haven't watched. One part in the middle was especially silly.

But still, very imaginative. Ideal movie to show to kids who are just learning of these kiddie legendary figures. A perfect Dreamworks version of The Avengers. Me & Bhai had a great time. Watch it when you just want to feel like a kid again & if you're still a kid, what're you waiting for? :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brave

Related Tweet:

Saw Brave with Bhai. Very nice but doesn't have the Pixar feel. Feels more like a Dreamworks film. Not saying that's a bad thing.
— Ani (Spell 'Awe-ni') (@Anistuffs) January 1, 2013

Yeah, that tweet pretty much sums it up. It's good, but it didn't feel like it was made by Pixar. It felt more along the veins of How To Train Your Dragon, which I think is an exceptionally good movie in case anybody gets the wrong impression, but Brave isn't. It's not exceptionally good. It's not Pixar-good.

Now I realize that most of you are asking that what is Pixar-good & I agree the term is very...um...stereotypical movie-critic type?
I agree completely & I don't want to be that person. But over the years Pixar has made many INCREDIBLE films (pun was unintended but welcomed) & these good films outnumber their bad (by Pixar-bad I mean, wayy above good for other films, except Cars 2, that one sucked).

In any case, Brave is good. But it's decent good, not, again drawing the term against my better call, Pixar-good; it's Dreamworks-good.
It's a good watch, the twist is well done, characters are interesting, voiceover's fantastic, story decent, but in the end, just feels like a lesser version of HTTYD. [Do realize that HTTYD was a fantastic film so Brave, being lesser, is a good film]
My advice (even though you never asked for it), watch it but while watching ignore that it's made by Pixar.

& yes, I also dread Pixar's next release. Monsters University? Seriously? It feels like Cars 2 all over again.
If you're gonna make sequels, why not Incredibles 2 ???

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Osmosis Jones

Related Tweet:

I don't care what anyone says, Osmosis Jones is an awesome movie.
— Ani (Spell 'Awe-ni') (@Anistuffs) January 1, 2013

This one's a rewatch. I saw Osmosis Jones when I was a kid & I was blown away by it. The sheer concept of an Antibody Action Flick was mindblowing to Teen Ani & I'm very glad to report that even as an adult (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, oh I crack myself up sometimes), it's an awesome film.

The concept is mindblowing, literally; the animation is excellent, even 11 years later; the storyline is as you'd expect from a buddy cop film, (done right, if I might add); the voiceover's awesome; the jokes, punny (not everyone's style I realize but definitely mine ;).

I love it. It's an excellent film. Watch it if you haven't already. & if you don't like it, read my tweet ;)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Amazing Spider-Man

Related Tweet:

& just saw The Amazing Spider-Man. Not bad. Still don't think it was needed but the resulting film isn't bad at all :)
— Ani (Spell 'Awe-ni') (@Anistuffs) January 1, 2013

I know many people cringed when they saw the trailer to this. I know I did, but only because I, along with everyone else, thought we didn't need a reboot so soon. I mean it's not even a decade since the first one, dude. Jeez, have some concept of time. You don't make Tsunami jokes on 2005 or even 2006!

But, & here's the real question, what if someone never saw the Spiderman trilogy? How would he/she react to this film? I expected myself to rage against this film but, the weird part is, I didn't. I enjoyed it. I still hold on to my stance that this film is similar to a joke about Tsunamis in 2005 but wouldn't it be funny is it didn't happen?

Surprisingly the answer is yes, it would. The film is good. If the Spiderman trilogy was never made, I'd love this film as much as I do Spiderman 1. But since that exists, this one grades lower but it doesn't fail to deliver. It's a very solid, enjoyable, superhero flick & I enjoyed watching it. It is a good movie.

Since Spiderman exists any reviews of this film will be biased by that, but IMHO this is a good film & if you like Superhero stories, you should watch this. Trust me, this isn't Green Lantern. Not by a longshot.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skyfall

Related Tweet:

Skyfall = GOOD
— Ani (Spell 'Awe-ni') (@Anistuffs) January 2, 2013

Unlike most people, I didn't watch too many James Bond movies before Daniel Craig. I watched a few parts of I think 2 or 3 which had Pierce Brosnan but none by the others. Which is rather shameful considering I have a whole DVDset of them, collecting dust.

However, after watching Craig's version, I don't think I can go back to the other ones. I may be wrong here I know. & if I am, tell me.

Skyfall was very good. In comparison with Casino Royale & Quantum of Solace, I'd say it's ... um ... uhhh... no, sorry I can't compare the 3. CR & QoS was a linked storyline. This is a separate one. But if I have to I'd say it's slightly below CR & slightly above QoS. That's all I'll say.
In fact, forget that paragraph. Go watch Skyfall because if you haven't, why the hell not?

On a side note, if you see 1:28 of this trailer. See the scene.
For some weird reason I totally thought that was Olga Kurylenko XD

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Time

Related Tweet:

In Time = Nice movie. Had the potential to be even awesomer but still very nice :D
— Ani (Spell 'Awe-ni') (@Anistuffs) January 2, 2013

When I saw the trailer of In Time, I was blown away by the concept & wished that this movie would be a great thought-provoking sci-fi film. the end result was, for all intents & purposes, a very nice movie. But it could've been SO MUCH more.

This is one sci-fi element, I have never encountered in any form, anywhere. This concept is a goldmine for blending social analogy & awesome sci-fi. & the film did achieve this goal. But still I wished it would've been more than just that.

I cannot think of one exceptionally bad thing to say about this movie. The story is kinda weak but still holds as a casual watch, the acting is a bit meh at time but overall very good. The movie surprisingly has a nice feel-that-it's-good factor to it which prevents me from saying any outright bad things about it.

Bottom line, it's like Eagle Eye (maybe slightly better). It's a normal sci-fi social analogy film using a VERY unique concept. It could've been so much more but I enjoyed it for what it is.
I do wish that another film/book/whatever will use this sci-fi element & milk it for all it's worth but till then don't be late & miss In Time ;)

& finally,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9

Related Tweet:

Finally, after 3.5 years of gathering dust in a corner of my hdd, I watch 9. & it's quite awesome :D
— Ani (Spell 'Awe-ni') (@Anistuffs) January 4, 2013

Ever since I saw the trailer for this movie I was excited to watch it; & now, I finally have. It's a really nice animation film. Again, definitely not Pixar or Dreamworks but seriously, if you're crazy like me & haven't yet already, do watch it. It's surprisingly nice. I wouldn't say it's excellent but you don't need a film to be excellent to be enjoyed.
I enjoyed 9 greatly & to avoid drawing out this wall of text even longer, I'm just gonna say watch it & leave it at that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I honestly don't think anyone will read through all that. But if you did (& not just scrolled down to the end as I would've) Thank you very much. I hope you enjoyed reading & if you'd like to leave some feedback, please, by all means, do so.

Have a nice day/night/whatever the time is over there.
