Elijah and I attended an early morning showing of Megamind, the new Dreamworks 3-D animated action/comedy. First of all, we threw out the 3-D and went 2-D. Elijah and Brenna both like to save their 3-D experiences for movies they hear are truly extraordinary in the use of that medium. They also hope that the extra money we save can be used on them at a later point.First Elijah's review since this is a film geared toward kids. He was very happy with the movie. It lived up to the preview, in his opinion. It was pretty funny yet also kind of sad in parts. He also thought the previews of coming attractions were really good.
As for me, I enjoyed Megamind. It had a great deal of humor and adult references and inside jokes. The storyline kept me interested even though there weren't a great deal of surprises. But if the presentation is good, that's ok. And the presentation was good. The film created characters that I cared about and there was an interesting question addressed of what makes a hero and what makes a villain.
It was not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning. I'm excited, though, that there are so many good movies coming in the week ahead!
