Re: Epic
Cardiff was full and people got turned away, haven't seen that for a while. Little man and me sat in the front row, trying to lean back as much as possible to see the screen. Being so close some of the scenes looked a bit fuzzy, though great colours and GS loved the birds, mub & Grub and got a bit frightend by the baddies. Great potential but I felt it missed something.

Re: Epic
Didn't see any of the regulars in Edinburgh today. Screen was only about 70% full which surprised me.
I quite enjoyed this, it was beautifully drawn and the colours were lovely.
The story was OK but the film was a wee bit long for the level of story.
I only recognised Chris O'Dowd.

Re: Epic
Maybe it's because of it's similarities to 'The Spiderwick Chronicles' (a fantasy film that I rate quite highly) but it would seem that I enjoyed this movie more than most.
I thought this was darker, in a good way, than the average kids flick and visually it was at times breathtakingly good, the 3D used here for once actually had a positive impact and succeeded in adding a significant amount of depth.
In terms of length, I didn't think it outstayed it's welcome so although it wasn't a perfect movie by any means it still did enough to scrape an 8/10 from me

Re: Epic
Saw this film today at the O2, together with my bf and a couple of friends. Didn't manage to spot any FMUKers, though.
Our friends liked it a lot, but my bf and I thought that the film was just okay and not memorable. I especially liked the snail, the slug and the 3-legged dog. 6.5/10
I recognised Aziz Ansari (from Parks and Rec) and Beyonce's voices.

That's a shame as at least 30% (IF NOT MORE) seats were empty.

Re: Epic
I didn't think 'Honey I Shrunk the Avatar Girl and She Met the Ferngully Borrowers' was too bad actually. Yes the story was highly derivative and pretty uninspired but I thought the animation was fairly strong. I got the impression that the script was originally more po-faced and serious before a studio head decided it needed more comedy sidekicks. As such it switched between the two styles in a slightly clumsy fashion. Having said that I thought Aziz Ansari and Chris O'Dowd's slug and snail and the three-legged pug were the most entertaining characters. Not Epic then but still watchable undemanding stuff.
