Movie Review: Sharkboy and Lavagirl
Short review: Don't go and see this movie.
Long review: Don't go and see this movie. Ever.
The 3D effect just isn't worth it. I thought we were past the icky red-green headache-generating steroscopic effects, but sadly I'm mistaken. Obviously the polarised-lens method is too expensive to be used worldwide for a ghastly kiddies-21st century abortion of the Neverending Story.
Speaking of such abortions, at this kind of movie you tend to see trailers for movies you don't often see elsewhere. I saw one for “Zathura”, which involves two kids in a large spooky house, where they find an old board game, where what they do in the game comes true in reality. Sound familiar? Guess who wrote it? Chris Van Allsburg, Mr Jumanji himself. Get original, dude.
