Suffice it to say that me and my beau are such movie fancier. There's never a week that we did not see a movie - even those with subtitles, we buy them!
Last week, we survived two great flicks - Ocean's 13 and Meet the Robinsons. Between the two, I loved the latter more. I did not expect Meet the Robinsons to be this good but I certainly placed my hope on it that at least I should be entertained.
As a prelude, we were treated with the good 'ol Mickey Mouse and friends cartoons. Trite as it may seem but I loved this - it was a good few minute visit down the memory lane.
The story turns around Lewis, an orphaned boy who has the gift to concoct. While at it, he has been to several adopting interviews - couples visit the orphan and talk to him and in turn, Lewis impressed them with his inventions that for some reason did not please any of those couple.
Lewis got frustrated and stopped engaging himself to such interviews - afterall, he resoved this with embracing the idea that the only one who will ever like him is his own mother.
In his quest to find his mom, he met several people along the way - some are those from the future.
I am pretty sure that those behind this don't solely have the "kids market" in mind as they gather their wonderful insights in creating this film - this also caters the "adult market".
Good story telling (unexpected twist to boot), CGI and "keep moving forward!"
"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things…and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."
