Spider-Man Far From Home 3D Movie Review

Written By: Jake Jarvis

3D

Spider-Man Far From Home has some crazy good 3D visuals. The many Mysterio and Elemental action scenes are very memorable to see in 3D. Both 3D pop and 3D depth look fantastic in this movie. One specific awesome pop out scene is when Aunt May throws something to Peter Parker. Several audience members actually ducked in the theater while watching this scene. This scene isn’t gimmicky but is a funny scene that is made better by the 3D. The many European locations look incredible and the scenery alone is used to excellent effect to enhance the 3D. The extra money spent on 3D is well worth it just for the sight seeing. All the enjoyable action scenes make the 3D really worthwhile. After 11 years and 20+ movies the Marvel cinematic universe has yet another 3D winner on its hands.

Final Verdict: Great 3D

Movie

Spider-man: Far From Home, is the 2nd Sony/Marvel Spidey live-action movie. To put it simply this is a spectacular Spider-Man film. This amazing film functions as a sequel to Spider-Man Homecoming, an epilogue to Avengers Infinity War / Avengers Endgame and it also works to push the Marvel cinematic universe forward.

Spider-Man Far From Home begins shortly after the events of Avengers Endgame. The movie knows how to keep its story easygoing instead of stopping dead in its tracks when it explains the fallout of the Thanos snap a.k.a. "The Blip". This is more of a summer romance film with a heroics subplot than a full on superhero action movie. This film really felt like a Stan Lee/John Romita Sr Amazing Spider-Man story with a European twist. The humor works well and the action is well choreographed to make for a fun adventure. Like Jon Watts' first Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man Homecoming there are dozens of easter eggs to keep eagle-eyed fans happy. Pay special attention to license plates for nods to classic Spider-man stories and character debuts. The film has many surprises, including the return of a key character from the first Iron Man movie. Plus there are two post credit scenes that will likely leave you slack jawed. Tom Holland continues to impress as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Zendaya truly makes MJ a real flesh and blood character, not just a trophy girlfriend. Peter Parker and MJ have wonderful chemistry on screen and their relationship makes perfect sense. Everyone gets a few moments to shine and to build their characters. Remy Hill as the new kid is very fun to watch. Brad Davis takes on some of the Flash Thompson "villian" role and creates some of the funniest moments in the film. Jake Gyllenhaal as Quintin Beck/Mysterio really sells the character. Even knowing Mysterio's comic book backstory, Gyllenhaal still had me guessing Mysterio's true intentions. Mysterio is a fantastic character and I really enjoyed watching him in this movie. The only issue I had with this movie can be with the pacing. Sometimes the movie can dramatically slow down when they have exposition scenes. It is only a minor inconvenience and often it can help the viewer catch their breath after the various action scenes. Obviously your mileage will vary but it’s hard to deny the pacing can off putting at times. Overall the movie works quite well and is very enjoyable from beginning to end.

Spider-Man Far From Home is one very fun and satisfying summer blockbuster.

Final Verdict: 9/10

Toy Story 4 3D Movie Review

Toy Story 4 3D Movie Review

Written By: Adolph Vega

3D

The 3D aspect of Toy Story 4 is a nice but an unnecessary addition to this movie. The movie starts off very strong with a scene in the rain. Rain looks fantastic in 3D and it looks great in this movie. Rain uses multiple layers of 3D and it really helps you feel like you are in the movie and helps set that tone for the scene. The 3D helps make the toys look more realistic. The 3D gives the toys dimension. Many times the characters will point objects toward the screen or certain parts of a toy may pop out of the screen. The 3D is not gimmicky but is used in a natural way that works well within the story. One scene where the characters are walking towards the camera on the side of a highway looks very nice in 3D. The amount of 3D depth is limited. I feel like it could have had more 3D depth. I never had a “wow this looks awesome” in 3D moment outside of the rainy opening scene. The 3D aspect of this movie is well done but is mostly a minor aspect of the visuals. I enjoyed the 3D aspect of Toy Story 4 and it looks very nice, but it didn’t blow me away.

Final Verdict: Good 3D

Movie

Simply put Toy Story 4 is an amazing film and is the perfect follow up the amazing third film in this excellent franchise. Before I watched this film I assumed this was a cash grab film by Disney and that it was an unnecessary sequel. Toy Story 3 ended so perfectly why bother to make a forth movie, I thought to myself. I was wrong to think this. Toy Story 4 is an incredible film and is one of the best Pixar movies in years. Toy Story 4 is easily the best animated movie of 2019.

The plot of Toy Story 4 revolves around the character of Woody and Bo Peep. Bo Peep was notably absent from the third Toy Story film and this movie starts off by explaining that absence. The movie shifts back and continues its own story shortly after the events of Toy Story 3. The movie is fairly self contained so you don’t need to watch the previous three films before watching this film. Bonnie is the new owner of Andy’s toys and is scared to begin kindergarten. During Bonnie’s first day she creates a new toy named Forky. Forky is not a traditional toy it is literally made of a plastic spork and some assorted crafting materials. During a family road trip Forky escapes and Woody must reunite Forky with Bonnie. During this journey Woody finds Bo Peep and the adventure to reunite with Bonnie begins. The movie introduces many new toys to this story. The movie flows well and it knows how to slow down to introduce new characters and to develop the plot. I do want to warn parents that some scenes in this movie may scare little children, but they are brief and make sense in the context of the plot. The story is perfectly balanced with humor and heart and justifies its own existence as a theatrical film. The ending (without giving anything away) is smart, heartfelt and gives the viewer a much-earned emotional catharsis. The ending just put this movie over the top for me and I am still crying several hours after watching the end credits. The movie has many emotional scenes. All of the emotional elements are earned and are perfectly handled in the movie. Toy Story 4 has a simple yet effective story that completely delivers on its premise.

I really couldn’t find any flaws with this movie. The humor works perfectly and I had many huge belly laughs. The animation is beautiful and the visuals are gorgeous. The new main characters are interesting and are given plenty of backstory. The writing is truly excellent. The only possible critique is that I wanted more discussion on what is to be a toy in this universe. How exactly does a toy gain conscious? The movie hints at these deeper questions but never truly explains them. This is something I always wondered in this series. Ultimately it doesn’t matter so I can’t dock the film for not explaining the deeper philosophical aspects of this film franchise. Toy Story 4 is a fantastic movie and I don’t know of any flaws keeping it from achieving cinematic perfection.

I adore Toy Story 4. Somehow the Toy Story film franchise has done the impossible and has hit the cinematic a grand slam. All four Toy Story films are wonderful. As I watched Toy Story 4 I laughed, I cried, and I was smiling from beginning to end. Toy Story 4 is not only the best movie of the summer it is easily the best movie of 2019. As I am writing this review I am still crying from the excellent of this movie. The tears are that of pure joy. They nailed it ! Toy Story 4 is a better movie than I could have imagined. Toy Story 4 is a pure delight and I shall give this my highest possible recommendation.

Final Verdict: 10 / 10 Editors Choice Award

Men in Black International 3D Movie Review

Men in Black International 3D Movie Review

Written By: Krista Strom

3D

I watched Men in Black International in a Cinemark XD theater. Based on this experience I prefer IMAX to XD. That being said it’s hard to tell in terms of 3D what is due to the specific theater and what is due to the movie itself? Essentially I think the 3D in the movie looks fine. I don’t recall any truly noteworthy 3D scenes. I liked how the stars appeared in the beginning of the movie. I also liked the brief portion in the movie where the character of Agent M was floating. I was confused by the smoke aliens lack of depth. For aliens that were functionally made of atmospherics, they didn’t really seem to look like atmospherics. They honestly appeared a bit like 2D graphics stuck into a 3D movie. During certain instances this can work but in this instance I don’t think it was intentional. Other than that, there wasn’t really anything blatantly bad about the 3D in the film. The 3D is fine but it is hard to recommend. I didn’t hate the 3D but I didn’t really enjoy it either. Ultimately if someone asked me if the 3D in Men in Black International is worth it, I would simply say no.

Final Verdict: Weak 3D 2D Recommended

Movie

Men In Black International is the forth Men in Black(MIB) movie. This is a soft reboot sequel that doesn’t really mention the previous films but it does consider them canon.

Men In Black Internationaltakes us to the London MIB office and it follows newbie Agent M (Tessa Thompson) and veteran Agent H (Chris Hemsworth). Essentially the plot is Agent M and Agent H are playing hot potato with a macguffin. They have an important intergalactic object that they must keep away from everyone else. Not even the MIB can be trusted with this object. Just like with the 3D, I think the plot is passable, but I can’t help but feeling disappointed. I went into this film excited, but I think it failed to live up to my expectations. I liked Agent M’s back-story and appreciated that the main character being a black woman. Although it did seem slightly sexist that she did more than ‪Will Smith’s character (Agent J) to impress the MIB, yet had a harder time getting hired into the organization. Still, I had to love the “women in black” lines thrown in throughout the movie. As for Agent H, he is charismatic enough to enjoy watching but the set up of his back story seemed a bit off – which granted, is ultimately explained, but is a bit unsettling for a first time viewing. The movie is overstuffed with exposition. The movie also takes a little too long to get going. The movie also has a secondary plot about the MIB itself being compromised. This secondary plot was poorly handled because you have too many new characters to juggle and it’s hard to really care about anyone. I think there were a couple of elements in the ending that are creative and original. I am slightly holding out judgment, as it seems clear that they are setting up future installments in the franchise.

Overall I liked the movie and I am still looking forward to more MIB adventures, but I am not as excited as I was before. Men in Black International is not a terrible movie it’s just a mediocre movie.
