Go, Speed Racer !

On May 10th, my family and I went out to see "Speed Racer" IMAX movie for Ryan's 6th birthday in the afternoon. It took us two hours and a half to watch this movie. I honesty could tell you that it was wonderful to watch, even without closed captioned.

We had our eyes sticking out to the movie for an entire time. Ryan did not seem wanting to leave the movie like he did at Ice Age 2. I could see the reason. The filmmaker from Matrix used a lot of High Effect Technology and three dimensions. The filmmaker from Matrix also lay it on thick in "Speed Racer," a jangled, densely layered, narratively scrambled blob of movie making that will leave viewers alternately baffled and sensorially stunned.

While the scenes were unbelievable, I honesty could say that there were some disappointments. It is rated PG for sequences of action, violence, profanity and brief smoking. I just hoped that the boys would not learn to use the proficiency from the movie. However, there were also a good part of the movie that Speed's little brother and his pet chimp provide nothing by way of comic relief.

All we had wanted to take Ryan out to the movie as per his request. It turned out that it didn't waste our money, though the prices had gone awful expensive.
