Captain Marvel 3D Movie Review

Written By: Adolph Vega

3D

The 3D presentation in this movie never wowed me, but overall I did enjoy it. The movie mostly uses 3D depth. Pop-out 3D scenes are rare in this movie. The movie has several scenes with long hallways and the 3D depth compliments these forced perspective shots. Several space scenes look very nice in 3D. The 3D is a nice yet unnecessary addition to this movie.  I can mildly recommend watching this movie in 3D.

Final Verdict: Good 3D

Movie

Captain Marvel is the first female led Marvel cinematic movie. It is a self-contained movie that showcases a different perspective to the super hero origin story.

 

Captain Marvel is set in the 1990’s and has a non-linear storyline. Flashbacks are a key component of this story. The main character of Carol Danvers goes on a journey of self-discovery. The skrulls are a shape shifting alien species that arrive on earth and Carol Danvers is determined to stop them. While visiting earth Carol meets up with Nick Fury from Shield. Carol Danvers and Nick Fury are together for the majority of this sci-fi adventure. The story has many interesting twists and turns. When the movie begins it can be slightly confusing. Don’t worry eventually everything explains itself and makes sense (sort of). 

 

Character development of Carol Danvers is the main component of this movie. Brie Larson portrays the character of Captain Marvel. This performance changes dramatically within the movie. At first she has a cold aloof robotic personality, but as she discovers the truth she becomes a more likable warm protagonist. Samual L Jackson reprises his role of Nick Fury and is a real delight in this movie. Nick Fury has been in several Marvel films but you have never seen him like this. Unlike other Marvel films this isn’t just an extended cameo for Nick Fury. This movie essentially is a buddy movie with Nick Furry and Carol Danvers. They have great chemistry together. 

 

I enjoyed the movie but I didn’t love it. The movie is all over the place with pacing. It starts off fast paced but it really drags in the middle. The movie really ramps up during the ending. The acting for secondary characters is average at best. The action scenes are fun but some of quick cuts and strange camera positions can be jarring to the eye. The movie opens up several plot holes for the marvel cinematic universe. Some of the comedic elements seem forced and too obvious. Captain Marvel is a good not great movie.

 

Overall I did enjoy my time with this movie. It is far from perfect but it’s a good foundation to build upon and I look forward to seeing more of this character in the future. Captain Marvel is not a marvelous film, but it is still worthy of your time. 

Final Verdict: 7/10

Spiderman Into the Spiderverse

3D Movie Review

Written By: Jake Jarvis 

3D

 

The stereoscopic 3D serves the animation quite well in this movie. Great 3D depth and movement. The hodge-podge of art styles of the various versions of Spider-Man (Spider-Men or Spider-People?) looks stunning in 3D. This movie was made for 3D and is definitely recommended.

 

Final Verdict: Great 3D

Movie

 

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is Sony's soft reboot of their Spiderverse cinematic universe. Instead of being about Peter Parker, Spiderverse  focuses upon the Marvel's Ultimate Comic book Spider-Man, Miles Morales. Don't worry, Peter Parker is here, In fact, several different Peter Parkers are here, along with several different Spider-people, who have taken up the Spider mantle, including Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man Noir and even Spider-Ham to name a few. Regarding the Spider-people we get all the above and I just adore it. Any of these characters could carry a Spider-Man animated movie of their own. Hopefully, we get to see many of these characters spun off into other films.

 

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is the Spidey movie we didn't think we wanted, but turns out to be exactly what fans needed from a Spidey movie. This is a well told story with compelling characters in the hands of creators who respect and love the original material. This movie is so much fun!  Easily this is the best animated movie of the year. There are enough Easter Eggs in this movie to keep you looking through at least a dozen viewings, but none of them get in the way of the greater story. Stay through the end credits for a whole slew of surprises and a touching tribute to Spiderman's creators, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

 

Simply put this is the best Spider-Man movie ever.

 

Final Verdict: 10/10

Ant-Man and the Wasp

3D Movie Review

3D

 

Depth based 3D is the main star of this show and it works well for this movie. The depth gives the viewer a greater sense of scale which is an important factor for a movie where the main characters can shrink and or become gigantic. Pop out 3D is rarely used within this movie. One car chase toward the end of the movie looks especially strong in 3D. Other CGI scenes in the quantum realm also look very nice in 3D. The 3D aspect is always present but not always apparent and in many scenes it’s fairly subtle. One interesting use of the 3D is how they present the character of the Wasp when she is flying around in a miniature state. It appears that the wasp character is in a different layer of 3D and doesn’t easily blend in with the background. Many people may not catch this detail, but I did and found it to be ingenious. I imagine watching this movie in 2D it might be difficult at times to see the Wasp buzz around because she might blend in with elements of the background. The 3D never wows the audience but it’s a nice visual enhancement and I can recommend it.

 

Final Verdict: Good 3D 

Movie

 

 Ant-Man and the Wasp is the direct sequel to the 2015 Ant-Man movie but in many ways this movie is also a mini sequel to Captain America Civil War. For anyone wondering this movie takes place shortly before the events of Avengers Infinity War but is relatively self-contained. Ant-Man (Scott Lang) is in house arrest after being caught fighting with the Avengers. Dr. Hank Pym has needs the assistance of Scott Lang in getting a specialized quantum part to help him in a personal mission within the quantum realm. A villain called Ghost wants the specialized quantum part and attempts to intercept it from Dr. Pym, Ant-Man and the Wasp. The movie has a secondary villain which is a gangster that wants to use Hank Pym’s advanced technology for his shady purposes . Another antagonist is the FBI which is keeping track on Scott Lang and wants to make sure he stays at home. The movie has allot of things happen at the same time .


Easily the best aspect of the movie is the comedic element . I haven’t laughed this often or this hard in years. The jokes and comedic elements feel natural because of the excellent dialogue, writing, and excellent character moments. The comedic aspect is interwoven brilliantly into the action scenes. Speaking of which I found the action scenes to be very well executed and clever . The movie fully utilized the micro / macro element of the characters and scenario. The original Ant-Man movie was a very funny movie but I thought this movie was funnier.


Sadly the plot is the weakest aspect of the movie. The movie juggles many story aspects and sadly drops the ball on a few key plot points. The idea behind the ghost villain is intriguing but the execution of this character is fairly generic and underwhelming. The secondary villain is poorly acted and is mostly frivolous. The FBI element is a somewhat fun game of cat and mouse.  Will they or won’t they catch Scott Lang this time ? The FBI dynamic is cute at first but they over do it. The movie is overstuffed with too many characters and unnecessary subplots that are underdeveloped and simply not needed.


Overall I really enjoyed the movie despite its flaws. The comedic aspect and action are superb . The story sadly falls apart and is subpar.

 

Final Verdict: 7/10
