Coraline (IMDB)The 3D in this is
astounding: from the opening credits, lace-edged, with text rippling gently over shiny scissor-hands, it was truly immersive. Little details like the patterns of dust on a car windscreen make this film more real than many live-action epics. 3D has come a long way since the first one I saw, which I think might've been
Friday 13th III: all I remember from
that is icky things hurtling fuzzily towards me out of the screen. The 3D effects in
Coraline beat
Beowulf hands-down, too.
I liked the amendments to the plot:
( slightly spoilery )It's a dark story: I would have been terrified by this as a child, and there were some scenes that made me shiver. Certainly not for younger children, or anyone prone to nightmares: but it brings out the humour as well as the horror of Gaiman's original novel.
How long til we get 3D DVD technology, huh? Huh?
