Tangled 3D Review

Fairy tale frolics

Since the dawn of 3D film making, varied films have been constructed round this new dimension. With "eye-popping" effects and jump out of the screen graphics. Now Disney, Dreamworks, Pixar and other cartoon 3D creators have transformed every film into 3D with no effects. In some cases this as been effective but it doesn't have any impact on the film.               Tangled has that going for it. Another Formula-A film generated as Disney's 50th motion picture. Way back in 1937, we have a straight-out-of-the book Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. But that changed animation forever. Meet Rapunzel  (Mandy Moore) who is kidnapped as an infant and raised by the not-so-scary Mother Gothel (yes that's right) (Donna Murphy). It's a musical that sees "Blondie" turn 18 and set out with Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi) to see the "floating lights" and be reunited with her parents. A harmless, Disney flick, cut out for a stage production.

Tron Legacy 3D Review

Neon lights and a clunky plot.....Tron: Legacy

Have you ever experienced the feeling where you cry and water gets in your eyes so all primary colours go blurry and it's hard to make out things. All you can see is blurs.The special effects of "Tron 2" is similar. Very much like the fight sequences in the Transformers film saga. Those bright shiny Lycra suits that the cast have to wear look like freak offspring of a neon light sign and Iron Man. A small paragraph at the beginning details that the film was shot in 2D and dubbed in 3D. At times I flipped off my 3D specs and saw that there was no 3D blur just normality. Another con for your money. Tron: Legacy sees Jeff Bridges, who has been carefully preserved in the heart of Hollywood for this event disappear leaving his small son Sam, alone. One thing leads to another and we get a evil Jeff Bridges, one trapped person in a computer game and a load of dire effects. You choose either you go or you don't.

4/5
