Lis and I saw WRECK IT RALPH last night
Nov. 3rd, 2012 10:22 amWe very much enjoyed it. We didn't see it in 3D, because 3D makes it much harder to see background details, and there are SO MANY background details to look at -- stuff as subtle as the graffiti: "AERITH LIVES", "all your base are belong to us", "LEEEROY!!".
You know "fridge logic" -- when you watch a movie and enjoy it, but when you get home, and are standing in front of the fridge looking for a snack, all the plot holes suddenly hit you? In this case, Lis and I were "fridge logic-ing" things that WORKED about the movie -- "Now that I think of it, THAT was ANOTHER clue about that plot twist!" All the pay-off points are carefully set-up, and, indeed, I bet people who are more deductively-inclined than Lis and I are would be able to put the clues together and figure out HOW a few of the plots are going to resolve.
It started out with an absolutely adorable short feature about two people meeting and falling in crush.
