Movie: The Adventures of Tintin in 3D IMAX
Genre: animated adventure
Synopsis: Based on the wildly popular Belgian books, this is a stop motion movie – the same style as “Polar Express”. Tintin (Jamie Bell) is a hot-shot reporter in Belgium. When he buys a model of the Unicorn – a famous sailing ship that sank in the 1600’s - things start happening. Two different men try to buy it from him – one of them gets shot. Someone steals the ship. It turns out the ship has a clue to a fabulous treasure from the 1600’s. Tintin teams up with Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis), a descendent of the captain of the Unicorn, to track down the two other clues and ultimately find the missing treasure.
My two cents: I had never heard of Tintin until this movie came out. While the animation and 3D effects were decent, the movie as a whole was pretty disappointing. Perhaps if I had read the Tintin stories I might have enjoyed it more. Instead, I found myself taking frequent looks at my watch to see how much longer I was going to have to sit through it.
