After a day of helping Scott with some shopping, watching some of S4 of Dr. Who, driving around a bit, and a very awesome dinner and drinks with Sanford, Scott, Alex, and Dave, we charged blindly into Speed Racer.
My God. The Colours. THE COLOURS!
Kids will LOVE this movie.
It's incredibly stylized and just balls out, full throttle, lightspeed ahead from the first frame to the last. It's bright colours, way-too-fast-to-follow action, and lightning quick cuts, with a plot that...well, it's not deep, but it feels just like a big episode of the show.
Don't see it expecting an Oscar winning movie. (Well, OK, it probably -will- win some VFX Oscars.) Expect to be strapped into a neon rollercoaster, and for one hell of a big screen experience.
99.9 percent chance of avoiding like death on DVD or TV unless you own a home theatre setup that includes bucket chairs and popcorn machine. It'd lose too much.
