| | Customer Reviews: Great PQ and AQ (06 September 2010)It was great to finally watch this again after so many years. Reviews here and on [...] enticed me to buy this based on the PQ and AQ. The BD met my expectations and exceeded them! A thorough list of extras and all of the blooper clips only added to the overall satisfaction. I already owned the Cars BD, so I was pleased to add this movie as well. The PQ is clearly a 5/5 even though the animation clearly shows this to be early in the Pixar lineup. The AQ earns a hands-down 5/5 as well. What little .1 present is primarily from the wings of the grasshoppers and the rhino-beetle "Dim", but it's rich and thunderous, not boomie. All dialog was clear and supporting ambient sounds are present from the BD menu all the way to the end of the movie. A good buy, even when I got it at $22 from here at Amazon. Love it! (29 August 2010)This is my boyfriend's fav movie, and he has been begging for it for months. We love it! Spectacularly groundbreaking (22 August 2010)I had seen this movie several times before but historically speaking, it's a must-own for any fan of the development of CGI. It's groundbreaking clarity, vivid colors and incredible attention to detail put Pixar on the map & set the standard for so many animated films that followed. Great cast, charming story, entirely entertaining for kids & adults alike. good family movie (19 July 2010)my kids love it,and I take the opportunity to teach them about the different types of insect there are. AKA A Bug's Leaf (17 July 2010)For all my reviews visit my website I am NOT reviewing the DVD. Just the movies unless otherwise stated. Please note that the rating above might not accurately reflect my thoughts, you will see a rating sentence at the end of the review. Where do I start off? This movie is a classic, maybe not a masterpiece, but at least a classic. It holds a place somewhere in our hearts, no matter how big or SMALL that place may be. For one thing, I think I remember it for just how beautiful this film is. Or is it a film? (Check out my Toy Story review.) They actually had a machine that went out in the wild and was small enough to replicate a bug's view of the world. Therefore, they were able to create a real world of bugs. Some people think that 3-D animation is worse than traditional, and while I think that traditional should not be obliterated, 3-D can be used to create an even more immersive and eye-popping experience. Some people just don't understand that. This isn't just a kids movie about bugs, it really does hold a personality and story beyond what normally occurs in life. And that's what we want right? Movies are meant to entertain or educate us, and frankly, what we haft to learn right now is not worth sitting through 2 hours of a history show. Just 1 hour. My point is, Pixar gives Fantasy in the way we desire. Sometimes, I feel we do not even realize that we want such an idea of going away from real life, as so many movies try to replicate it. But when I watch a Pixar film, I understand perfectly what I desire. I will pay anything to keep Pixar in the big leagues, because they shouldn't vanish anytime soon. In other words, the scripting was extremely well done. Now, the humor is pretty good, but not as good as Toy Story. I feel with bugs, they are the target of murder and torture. Toys, are usually the target of love and compassion. Thus, they could not avoid some dark humor, and I don't appreciate dark humor in a family movie. It's supposed to be A FAMILY MOVIE!!!! But, some other humor pulls off the job well. And then, there's some humor that's just not appropriate. BYOB makes a line in this film, now that's outrageous! Kids, that stands for something very bad. Now, Lemme talk about just (again) how beautiful this is. There is a scene in the mist...watch it...and then you will know the true meaning of the Discovery Channel. In other words, it's been in my mind as one of the best visual scenes in all of family movie history, if not all movie history. Last but not least, there seems to be some sort of New York theme in Pixar films. I dunno is John Lassetter is from NYC, but it seems very prevalent in the soundtrack. Besides that, you can pretty much get my opinion of most Pixar films from my Toy Story Trilogy reviews. The Rating? 4/5 |
