TOY STORY 3 in 3D [2010] review
June 26, 2010 · Print This Article
TOY STORY 3 is a flawless masterpiece. A movie that is just so right in its score, in the attention to details, in its action, in its emotional moments, and in its story. This was also my first time to see a 3D movie outside of a theme park since my childhood, perhaps it was the Creature from the Black Lagoon? I feel the 3D genie is fully out of the bottle and one better get used to donning those 3D glasses. Did it enhance my TOY STORY 3 viewing experience?
That is hard to say. At first it was very distracting and hard to get used to. Then I was not even aware of it and just engrossed in the movie. It’s not 3D like things fly right by your head, it is basically the characters in three dimensions within a still relatively flat plane. I wanted to see it in IMAX 3D, but of course the IMAX projector was down.
Nevertheless, from the opening frame TOY STORY 3 was pure joy, pure exhilaration, pure laughs, and pure emotion. Is it wrong for a movie to be so feel-good? I hope not because I really needed to see a movie that is perhaps the most feel-good of all time. By the end, everything just feels so right.
A nod was made to Hayao Miyazaki, the only person who can equal or best Pixar in animated storytelling and imagination, in the form of my beloved TOTORO being a background character!
Other things that standout from TOY STORY 3, I will simply just say: ”the monkey,” “the tortilla,” Ken, “death by monkeys”
Before I went to the theater I peaked at IMDB and was surprised to see TOY STORY 3 currently ranked the #6 all-time movie. As I sit here now, I am not surprised at all. I cannot recommend the movie enough.
