What do you get when you have a dog, a cat and a hamster working together?
Bolt, the movie of course.
Bolt, our cute, disillusioned, Hollywood canine who believes that his desinty is to protect his 'person'(that's how he calls his owner) with his genetically implanted super powers, goes on a wild adventure when he tries to go after his "kidnapped owner". However, our canine friend is about to find out that life isn't exactly what he thinks it to be...
After watching countless of Disney films, you should be pretty aware by now that there's got to be an underlying moral lying somewhere in the story. The moral behind this one? You don't need to be Underdog to save the day... if you can bark loud enough.
Ok, drop that last part.
I'd say that the movie itself is not bad overall, but it's kind of lacks the 'oohmph' to grab the audiences' attention for the whole duration of the show. The rendering's pretty and hey, with 3D thrown in, you can't really complain much. But it's a tad too draggy towards the middle of the film, with little action and too much talk.
A pity 3D glasses does not go well with my spectacles. I would have been able to enjoy the film better if I had contacts. Well, at least the smart kid was able to enjoy the movie. Maybe they ought to make 3D films a bit more friendly for the bespectacled. It's kind of hard to keep two glasses on at the same time.
