After School Special With Heavy Handed Godspeak
PostedApril 14, 2010

The production quality of this movie is about the same as an after-school special on TV. And it is filled to overflowing with heavy-handed Godspeak like you might hear in a Sunday school documentary that was created by the youth group.
Not that this is a bad thing... But just so you know before you buy the ticket and end up disappointed because the movie does not live up to its trailer previews...
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Not for Kids, Scarier Than You Think

This is not the movie you might expect from the trailer. Very creative, and original. Animation was cool, 3-D was somewhat distracting, but still well done. It's fascinating to see what lives in the mind of Henry Selick.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Audience wouldn't leave!

I think this says it all about this movie... When the film was over, and the credits started to roll, no one got up to leave. It felt like people were so in awe of what they had just seen, that they didn't want it to end. This is not one of those hit-you-over-the-head-with-a-message kind of films. This is an entertaining and poignant film that draws you in and involves you in a way that is very real. It's like watching a really great football game and feeling like you can influence the outcome if you root hard enough for your favorite team. Denzel Washington gave a masterful performance and the younger unknown actors were surprisingly his equal. If you like drama, if you like dramas based on true stories, if you like dramas that are inspiring, then you will love this movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
