Epic

Among the three major animation studio Pixar, Dreamworks, and Blue Sky is actually the most vulnerable position to be shifted to the new animation studios. If Pixar animated film is already the king of the world making it difficult to slide. Dreamworks uses different strategies by means of the quantity released the film as much as possible and hope and hopefully some have quality above average. Blue Sky behind arguably the two main competitors. Beyond the Ice Age franchise films their other original animation is quite successful but not big enough to be a franchise. Blue Sky once again betting on new franchise which this time is entitled to a dashing title: Epic.

Mary Katherine (MK) moved to the village to live with her father Professor Bomba on the edge of the wilderness after the death of his mother. Since childhood, the Court was not close to his father who is always busy with research and now weird too. After his father tells him that he is doing research looking for the little man's man-style mini MK even thought his father was crazy and hurriedly left the house - hope that he could live alone. The Court does not know what is the real father has a right conjecture. Indeed, there is little life that was never found before humans.

And the life that exists in the form of Leafman who always fought to maintain the peace and life of the forest of evil creatures called Boggans. The leader of the Boggans Mandrake has a delusion to kill the Queen of the Forest, Tara, who kindly Boggans that could destroy the forest and the life in it. In an incident that had MK-bodied man suddenly shrunk so small and dragged into a war between the Leafman and Boggans. How the presence of MK could affect this war?

I am somewhat confused by labeling Epic title in this film because the film does not reflect at all. What is epic? Battle? Or even the title giver wants contrasts with the title character in it that small? Whatever the goal Epic is another standard animated film from Blue Sky. In other words this is not a bad movie. Far from it. But as solid as he does not have any Epic factor 'x' or emotional attraction to the audience that is able to lift it into a spectacle of classical

Packaged in a 102 minute film Epic as lack of focus in the story trying to spread the net as wide as possible coverage. In the first half of the film itself apart from the story of saving the forest there are some relationships between the characters are removed: MK with his father, Ronin warrior leader with Queen Tara, Ronin with subordinates Nod, Nod, and also the Court with Tara with Mandrake. But precisely because too much of this story ultimately feels less focus. The development of relationships between the characters do not grow up with a natural pacing continues to impress but be rushed in order to get to the same time at the end of the story. The result is the emotional side feels less intrusive. Compare with animations that present at the beginning of 2013 ago The Croods the story throughout the film only focuses on the relationship EEP, Grug, and Guy and actually managed to get a home run with its focus.

After all, the actual storyline of this movie standards helped with some humor that is presented by the characters in this movie sidekick. Grub mub and the duet snails had several times provoke laughter as well as his voice filled Galuu Nim perfectly by Aerosmith vocalist Steven Tyler. Compared with other such animated adventure 9 and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole Epic has a more balanced tone alternates between bright and dark green foliage in the Boggans world. Action for division and then Epic battle fight so-so present a stylish and cool enough - at least for the size of animated films. And speaking of animation sure to watch this movie in 3D format. Graphic detail and the use of 3D technology in the film is absolutely astounding good.
