Epic Movie Review: | |
| Although the basic story is too juvenile and simplistic to entertain anyone with an age in the double-digit range, the themes and underlying ideas are too complicated to capture the attention of someone younger. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Director Chris Wedge falls into the common animator's trap of making the "human" characters a lot duller than the nonhuman creepy-crawlies. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor With its array of goofy sidekicks (Aziz Ansari as a slug almost runs away with the whole picture) and carefully crafted relationships, Epic certainly manages to tell a compelling tale. Zachary Wigon-Village Voice A 3D eco-fantasy whose mantra-like insistence that we're all connected by nature is one of the main things that underscores the abject insincerity of the sentiment as the movie articulates it, "Epic" is very nearly epic in its stifling mediocrity. Glenn Kenny-MSN Movies Anyone over the age of 7 or so - not to mention their accompanying adults - isn't going to find too much here to truly engage them, let alone linger past the final fade out. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Children may enjoy it, but even they will be able to see all the boxes it systematically ticks. Dave McGinn-Globe and Mail I remember, not so very long ago, when most of the protagonists in children's movies were male. The change in recent years has been, well, 'Epic.' Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) Extraordinary! A magical and wondrous - and blessedly original - animated movie experience for everyone. Pete Hammond-Movieline Produces images of poetic power ... The catch is that the world the filmmakers create is far more interesting than the story they tell in it in it or the characters they put in it. Steven D. Greydanus-Decent Films Guide At least it's pretty. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy It's not quite an animated masterpiece, but it's still a fun, sweet-hearted kid-pleaser that boasts some downright lovely animation. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune Apart from the visuals, it's pretty undistinguished. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Great animation, good voice talent but something is just a little flat about the storyline. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com "Epic" is not a bad animated film, but it is a pretty forgettable one. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com An unfortunate name for such a simplistic, sleepy little eco-goofy animated movie. Michael Smith-Tulsa World For all its attempts at wonder and spectacle and play, Epic is mostly a slog. Bilge Ebiri-Vulture Basically, it's a passable combination of Bambi, The Borrowers and Avatar (which plays in my memory as an animated picture). Philip French-Observer [UK] The visuals are pure magic. Nell Minow-Beliefnet This woodland fairy tale is not nearly as Epic as the title would suggest. JimmyO-JoBlo's Movie Emporium Sweet, eye-popping, eco-friendly adventure, suitable for children of all ages. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate ...the most beautiful boring movie ever made. Steve Biodrowski-Cinefantastique Animated adventure amuses but doesn't live up to its title. Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media By-the-numbers kid's movie elements prevent Epic from completely living up to its name; nonetheless, it's still a solid film for the whole family. Sandy Schaefer-ScreenRant The story has periods of great invention, too, offering both an ingenious combination of time and space as well as the sublime use of different speeds of sound. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail It doesn't do anything groundbreaking, but its attention to detail produces a reliably entertaining family adventure. Rob Vaux-Mania.com | |
