This film marks the first of my excitement for the summer. I give you Epic, a new animated adventure by Blue Sky Entertainment that looks as if it will have no problem living up to it's name.
Epic is another one of those movies that falls into the category of animated films that I found out about way earlier on it its production that then seemed to severely lack any luster of anticipation. Two or Three years ago, I had come across the early poster releases and concept art for Epic, but like many predicted 3D movies I wasn't too impressed. It looked as if it would follow the same old 'human-shruken-to-tiny-person-size-adventure" plot that kid films fall upon way too often. But once the trailers were released, and I was able to truly observe the animation and quality details of the art, I'm happy to admit that my mind was completely changed.
As most animated films being released at this time, the visuals look stunning. But what sets Epic apart is that it's not only relying on pretty images, but the application of good cinematography to create this visual splendor.  From its lighting to the beautiful panning shots, to the fast action capture of the forest and aerial fight scenes, it all flows together beautifully and challenges the eye to try and take in every meticulous detail that the scenery can provide. I am quite impressed. The characters look refreshing yet edgy both in design and interaction, not to mention the all star cast that they've chosen to voice these people, some of who are my favorites: the ever-sexy Steven Tyler, and one of my film-true loves, the suave and swoon worthy: Christoph Waltz
Needless to say, I'm very excited.

This is of course is only one of the many movies that will be seizing my attention in the following months, Pacific Rim, Star Trek Into Darkness, Red 2, The Wolverine...ect.
