THE INCREDIBLES
Pixar's release this year is entitled The
Incredibles. You may remember Pixar and Disney's previous ventures, Toy
Story 1 and 2, a Bugs Life, Monsters, Inc. and
Finding Nemo? ALL Great films. Really a success 5
for 5. So you figure they've gotta slip up sooner
or later right? Well, not this time around, my
friends. The Incredibles was truly a marvel in
even more advanced visual effects, and a great
story.
The story centers around a family of superheroes
who no longer use their powers under new laws stating that
supers are not to do so. However Mr. Incredible,
the head of the family, receives an offer he can't
refuse . . .
The placing of so much humanity in the
superhero genre with such humour really works on so many levels.
It's written/directed by Brad Bird, who's previous
big number was The Iron Giant. Another story about
humanity in a non-human and probably one of the
best films I've ever seen. With the use of both
humour, drama and a bit of suspense, not to
mention an over the top silly super-villain, this
really is one of the best movies of the year.
Oh . . . and as for that winning streak that is now
6 for 6? If you go see this, you'll also get a glimpse of their
next year's movie "Cars" ... Though we must give
it the benefit of the doubt . . . this one looks like
it could be their first flop. (The graphics look
amazing, the story/premise doesn't. )
