I am NOT reviewing the DVD. Just the movies unless otherwise stated.
Please note that the rating above might not accurately reflect my thoughts, you will see a rating sentence at the end of the review.
Where do I start off? This movie is a classic, maybe not a masterpiece, but at least a classic. It holds a place somewhere in our hearts, no matter how big or SMALL that place may be. For one thing, I think I remember it for just how beautiful this film is. Or is it a film? (Check out my Toy Story review.) They actually had a machine that went out in the wild and was small enough to replicate a bug's view of the world. Therefore, they were able to create a real world of bugs. Some people think that 3-D animation is worse than traditional, and while I think that traditional should not be obliterated, 3-D can be used to create an even more immersive and eye-popping experience. Some people just don't understand that.
This isn't just a kids movie about bugs, it really does hold a personality and story beyond what normally occurs in life. And that's what we want right? Movies are meant to entertain or educate us, and frankly, what we haft to learn right now is not worth sitting through 2 hours of a history show. Just 1 hour. My point is, Pixar gives Fantasy in the way we desire. Sometimes, I feel we do not even realize that we want such an idea of going away from real life, as so many movies try to replicate it. But when I watch a Pixar film, I understand perfectly what I desire. I will pay anything to keep Pixar in the big leagues, because they shouldn't vanish anytime soon.
In other words, the scripting was extremely well done.
Now, the humor is pretty good, but not as good as Toy Story. I feel with bugs, they are the target of murder and torture. Toys, are usually the target of love and compassion. Thus, they could not avoid some dark humor, and I don't appreciate dark humor in a family movie. It's supposed to be A FAMILY MOVIE!!!! But, some other humor pulls off the job well. And then, there's some humor that's just not appropriate. BYOB makes a line in this film, now that's outrageous! Kids, that stands for something very bad. Now, Lemme talk about just (again) how beautiful this is. There is a scene in the mist...watch it...and then you will know the true meaning of the Discovery Channel. In other words, it's been in my mind as one of the best visual scenes in all of family movie history, if not all movie history.
Last but not least, there seems to be some sort of New York theme in Pixar films. I dunno is John Lassetter is from NYC, but it seems very prevalent in the soundtrack. Besides that, you can pretty much get my opinion of most Pixar films from my Toy Story Trilogy reviews.
The Rating? 4/5
Movie Review: Blu-Ray is very good. Remember that the movie was released 10 years ago
Summary: 4 Stars
My review is for the Blu-Ray version of "A Bug's Life". I will not over the plot since there are multiple reviews about it.
VIDEO:
The graphics are awesome, especially the landscapes and the overall environment. However, I was slightly disappointed with the graphics of the ants and some of the insects that looked poorly rendered CGI material, which sorely stands out in Blu-Ray version. Yes, I still have in mind that the movie was made in 1999 and was Pixar's second movie.
AUDIO
The audio was awesome. Lossless audio makes a difference here, especially when the grasshoppers leave the cantina at the dessert. It is just fantastic
Overall, I enjoyed the movie. I am true fan of Pixar's movie (I have all the releases in BD). Maybe this movie is not at the same level of other great titles like Ratatouille. I know we should not compare this movies with another Pixar's movies; however, that is almost unavoidable after you spent almost $35 on it.
I still recommend this movie for the whole family. I read earlier one review that this was not for kids, but my three year old daughter enjoys the movie. There are some scenes that could be a little bit obscure, but are carefully balanced with funny moments and that you as a parent can take advantage in order to teach your kids not to be scared of, and face obstacles and not feel intimidated.
