Jungle Cruise 3D Movie Review

Written By: Adolph Vega

3D

Simply put Jungle Cruise is gorgeous in 3D. Disney really delivers and this film has many noteworthy pop outs and depth based 3D effects. The few scenes with waterfalls really make good use of 3D depth. The movie begins with a cold open panning view of the amazon and it looks spectacular in 3D. Many times CGI snakes would pop out of the screen in fun manner. The 3D really complements the visuals and makes for a more compelling visual narrative. Many times I felt like I was in the lush jungle with the characters as I felt so engrossed into the visuals because of the wonderful 3D. Most of the movie is seen in a diorama sorta effect and it looks like you are looking through a widow into the movie. The 3D helps to establish the various shots and scenes. The 3D is not perfect as some darkly lit scenes look off because of the 3D. I do wish that it had a little more pop outs. Honestly you are doing yourself a disservice by watching this movie in 2D. The 3D really helped me enjoy this movie and I imagine that some of my enjoyment would be muted by watching Jungle Cruise in 2D. You need to watch Jungle Cruise in 3D.

Final Verdict:Great 3D

Movie

Jungle Cruise is Disney’s latest theme park ride turned into a feature length film. In some ways it resembles other adventure movies like Indiana Jones and the Tomb Raider movies, but in many ways it has its own style that makes it unique.

The story of Disney’s Jungle Cruise is fairly strait forward but is very engrossing. You follow Dr. Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) who travels to the Amazon in search for a tree that can magically cure any illness. Lily hires boat captain Frank (Dwayne Johnson) to help her navigate the amazon river. Lily isn’t the only person who is searching for this magical tree. This magical tree is also known to curse people who dare search for it. You will have to watch the movie to learn what happens to Lily and Frank during this adventure down the amazon river.

Jungle Cruise is a joy to watch. This movie is pure escapist fun. I loved the back and forth between Lily and Frank. Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson have a real chemistry on screen and their banter is well written and it feels natural. This movie was perfectly cast and I love all the main characters. I loved the cornball sense of humor that this movie has. The various action scenes are thrilling and are well executed. The visuals are well done and rarely did I question any of the special effects. I have very few if any complaints. I suppose that some of the lore could have been better explained. I do feel like this movie has some minor plot holes. The movie has no depth to it. Any issues that I have with this movie are extremely minor and overall I found myself extremely entertained and not caring about any of its flaws. Jungle Cruise is a delightful movie.

Jungle Cruise is a charming and goofy movie that I loved. It’s so rare that you can find a family friendly adventure movie that is this good. When the movie ended I had a huge smile on my face. I haven’t felt this happy in the theaters in a long time. Jungle Cruise is live action Disney at its best.

Final Verdict: 10/10

Black Widow 3D Movie Review

3D

Black Widow is a very enjoyable movie to watch in 3D. This movie has lots of 3D depth with plenty of pop outs. Highlights of pop outs include: a sniper rifle, several climbing scenes, a thrilling airstrip scene, and a climatic explosion. It’s well worth shelling out the extra money for the 3D Black Widow’s experience.

Final Verdict:Great 3D

Movie

Black Widow is Marvel's first movie in nearly two years. And this espionage thriller/family drama packs a wallop.

The action in Black Widow delivers and the family drama adds depth to the characters. Unfortunately, the actual story doesn't quite deliver. It doesn't help that the actual story is shoehorned between the events of two other Marvel movies: Captain America Civil War and Avengers Infinity War. The movie also has some scenes that take place in the 1990s. It can be a little hard to follow what’s going on without more direct references or actual scenes from the other films to jog the memories from years past. It’s hard to explain without spoilers but this movie is both self contained and isn’t entirely self contained. There are many surprises in the film. I am sure that one surprise, will offend the comic book purist. To them, I say, get over yourselves. The change works within this film and there is no reason there can't be another more comic book accurate version of the character down the line. Scarlett Johansson shines (as per usual) as the Natasha Romanoff the Black Widow. Florence Pugh (Midsommar) shines as Yelena Belova the ‘sister’ character. David Harbour (Stranger Things) is laugh out loud funny as the Crimson Dynamo, excuse me, The Red Guardian the ‘father’ character. And Rachel Weisz (The Mummy [2017]) as Melina the ‘mother’ figure. This makeshift family of spies has a great character arc that propels the plot along. I really liked all the new characters this movie introduces. The action scenes are well done especially the last scene. I wish the plot was a little stronger but overall this movie has it all.

In closing Black Widow is a very enjoyable movie yet I left the cinema wanting a little more. I definitely recommend watching Black Widow in the theatre and in 3D.

Final Verdict: 8/10

Boss Baby 2 Family Business 3D Movie Review

Boss Baby 2 Family Business

3D Movie Review

Written By: Jacob Scarberry

3D

After being slightly disappointed with the 3D in Raya & the Last Dragon, (The last 3D animated movie that I saw in theaters) there needed to be some redemption to fill the void of 3D animated bliss. DreamWorks Animation has released some spectacular 3D Blu-Rays (The Croods 2, Turbo, etc.). Would their excellent home experience with 3D Blu-ray’s translate to a wonderful theatrical experience? What better way to dip my toes and see my first DreamWorks 3D movie in the theater than with The Boss Baby 2 Family Business?

Simply put DreamWorks has delivered with this movie and the 3D in Boss Baby 2 is spectacular. From the cute studio logo, to the end credits, it's a mesmerizing feast for the eyes. Not only is the picture colorful and detailed, there is some terrific depth at hand, along with plenty of pop-out moments, and even stuff entering the audience (or coming from the audience going toward the screen) in several scenes. One scene in particular was breathtaking in 3D. This is the infiltration scene at the Acorn School when the Boss Baby is attacked by ninjas. This scene is literally filled with arrows and ninja stars popping out of the screen for one amazing 3D spectacle.

This is one of the best 3D films that I have ever seen in a theater and it should not be missed. Boss Baby fans will definitely want to watch this sequel in theaters and in 3D. Fingers crossed for a Blu-Ray 3D!

Final Verdict: Great 3D Editors Choice Award

Movie

For many years, The Boss Baby (first movie) was the butt of many jokes for me and many others on the internet. The trailers and TV spots made the original movie look atrocious, cheap, crass and lazy. This is one 3-D movie that I bought only just a few months ago, to fill the gaps of my ever-growing 3D blu-ray library (240 and counting!), and to try and complete the DreamWorks 3D section. I didn't even bother to watch the first film in 3D at home, but I mustered through the screening in 2D and found myself shocked. The original film was actually pretty decent, which befuddled me.

Yes, there was plenty of gross out gags, fart jokes, and baby butts aplenty, but there was also some surprising cleverness to the animation and storytelling and some funny jokes as well. It was solid entertainment, slightly weird of course, but I didn't hate it (as I expected to). So getting ready to watch the sequel Boss Baby Family Business, I was kinda positive going into the "local" (Local meaning a 30 mile trip) Regal Cinemas and watching this second movie on the big screen. FYI Watching the first film is not required viewing to enjoy or understand this second film. I also did not watch any of the Netflix Boss Baby TV series (or interactive movie) before watching this second theatrical movie.

Boss Baby 2 Family Business is set a year after the end of the original Boss Baby movie. Tim (Now played by James Marsden, after Tobey Maguire voiced the adult Tim in the first film) is a stay-at-home dad, with a beautiful wife and two kids. His brother, Ted (Alec Baldwin) is the successful business man who is always too busy with work to spend time with family. When the Christmas holidays come around, Tim is feeling depressed, with his oldest daughter Tabitha starting to grow apart from her dad and Ted never attending family functions.

While reminiscing his childhood, Tim hears familiar phone ringing, and discovers that his youngest daughter, Tina (Amy Sedaris), has carried on in the family tradition of working for BabyCo. Tina tricks her uncle Ted to come to the house and the team works together to take on the nefarious Dr. Armstrong (Jeff Goldblum). Dr Armstrong is the owner and operator of the Acorn Schools. He has created a new special baby formula that is designed to make the adults into babies. Tim, Ted and Tabitha all must stop Armstrong from ridding the world of parents.

The first film was a cute movie that told the trials and tribulations of childhood, that left it up to the viewer to decide if the events actually happened. This movie pretty much takes away that mystery and confirms that everything is real. Overall it offers a fun wild ride.

The animation is awesome and colorful, and the voice performances are a delight, and there are some nice laughs, but I am having a slight case of sequel-itis. This movie doesn’t seem better or worse than the original just more of the same. The plot is pretty ridiculous, as is the belief that everyone who comes in contact with the younger Tim, doesn't recognize that his voice sounds like an adult. Marsden doesn't even try to make it sound like a kid, and DreamWorks did bother to hire a kid actor to make it sound believable. Overall the plot is just outright stupid. The movie also has a side story involving school troubles with the oldest daughter. She is super smart, but also not liked, and must overcome an obstacle at a school play. The typical brother sister dynamic is fairly worn and tired.

Despite the many flaws the film still works. Thankfully they reduced the gross out gags in favor of some clever jokes. Yes this movie is still filled to the brim with juvenile humor for the tots. The movie even has a creepy girl who loves horses and has the talent to appear and disappear at her leisure. I wouldn’t say this was an Oscar worthy film or “Pixar level quality”, but it's no slouch when it comes to providing entertainment to families at the local cineplex, or from the home via Peacock.

Boss Baby 2 Family Business is a stupid, but entertaining movie that won't stick with you. The 3D will stick with you but the movie itself is a fairly forgettable family affair.
