TinTin

So, I watched that Tintin Movie today.

It was a pretty good family friendly action romp, but felt a little bit insanely absurd at times. Maybe it's an age thing, but I found myself questioning moments like when the sloose gates to a damn were blown open and all this water pours through the town below. My first thought was what about all that property damage. We are looking at peoples jobs and homes being destroyed, all for a humours bit of action.

The other thing that I'm not sure about was the Virtual camera work on hand. Now I do get that in a virtual environment you are capable of placing and moving the camera in positions that in reality would be impossible, but it doesn't necessarily mean you should do. At points I felt a little sick because of the way the camera would swoop about. It felt like the directors/animators were experimenting with this form of camera work a little to much, which I suppose could be too difficult to resist doing.

All in all though, it looked superb and the action never stopped. I'm looking forward to the inevitable sequel.
