Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
This is a movie about:
I really enjoyed this movie. Think Lord of the Rings with owls playing the lead characters and we have Legends Of The Guardians. Clearly inspired by his own work and other epics, Snyder presents a team of owls called the Guardians who stay in a mystical tree called Ga'hoole. Instead of Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli we have owl brothers Soren (Sturgess) and Kludd (Kwanten) who, after being kidnapped and taken to an evil fortress, decide to summon the Guardians for help. The film is based on the children's novel by Kathryn Lasky and includes ample number of battle scenes, 360-degree camera moves and slow- motion warfare to enhance the 3-D medium.
What's hot:
Who would have imagined owls wearing armour flying at sonic speeds or engaging in mid-air fights? A lot of effort has gone into studying the behaviour of these creatures of the night. Through the years, owls have always had an element of mysticism attributed to them and Snyder uses that to create suspense and intrigue. He doesn't stick to just one breed of owl, but incorporates a variety with different sizes and colors. 3-D looks good especially in the slow motion close ups where detail has been paid to make these creatures look real. Even though the story is suspended in disbelief, the owls actually seem like characters with human emotions. It actually looks like a live actionfilm shot against some fantasy filled enchanted woods. Kids will absolutely love the dialogues, jokes and action scenes. Efforts have been taken to make every owl look spectacular and yet different from the other - be it in the way their sharp talons are shaped, their bulging eyes, or the way they hoot.
Great visuals make the 3-D viewing an enjoyable experience, but the story falters along the flight. The movie really enjoyed to me. This movie was never as good as people had wanted.The movie is very nice. OK!!!
