I want Rio
I was in Rio. I wish I was really there, but when I went to the cinema to watch the new animated movie from Blue Sky Studios, I really thought I was there. The story itself is a bit outworn: a girl has a pet, the last male of it’s kind. Girl meets guy from an animal resort that found one of the 2 last female birds of that kind, wants to bring those 2 birds together to mate, have offspring, but the female bird doesn’t like the “pet” bird (the male bird) so he got to win her heart. And that will happen. One of the last things we see is a nice happy family (male and female bird, with 3 baby birds) and the girl and the guy are together as well.
Well. It’s a bit dishonorable to say it like this, but the story isn’t that good. But on the other hand the package is really cool. The animations are almost perfect, it is colorful, happy, amazing etc. Plus the music they used (from Taio Cruz, Will.I.am and Jamie Foxx) is outstanding. I wanted to dance the samba, but I was in the cinema so I had to stay in my chair. But my feet were moving on the rhythm, and that is a big plus for me. Music is the other half of a movie.
All in all I think it is a really good movie, despite of the story. It has humor, really great (samba) music and the animations are just astonishing. I saw it in 3D, but it didn’t really gave me an extra boost like Avatar did to me in 3D.
Movie score: 4/5
Music score: 5/5
