Incredible

We went to see The Incredibles tonight. Best Pixar movie ever. And that’s saying a lot. I own four of the previous five Pixar flicks, and this one will defintely be on the list when it hits DVD.

Just an all-around great movie. I’m continually amazed at Pixar’s ability to tell the same old story with a fresh spin (talking toys, talking bugs, monsters that scare children, a father searching for his lost boy, etc.).

In addition to the great movie was the unexpected trailer for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Oh yeah. The trailer starts with voice over by Alec Guinness from the original Star Wars. Sweet. You get to see and hear Darth Vader (though the reveal scene made his head look enormous — can you say “Dark Helmet!”). That’s going to be one crazy movie. Dark and violent, and potentially crappy (judging by the first two), but it’s still Star Wars. We’ve been waiting along time for this one.

Also before the movie you can see a trailer for the next Pixar movie, Cars (or watch it online, like I did this afternoon). The concept looks incredibly lame, but I’ll be willing to see what Pixar can do with it. The NASCAR-like stuff looks potentially redeeming (but also potentially devastating — think Days of Thunder).

  1. Considering I did more than 1,000 words more than my daily word goal for Friday, I think that justifies seeing a movie. Not to mention the fact that I’m something like 7,000 words ahead of where I need to be. Hehehe, novel’s comin’ along great!

  2. I agree. I’d go as far as to say best computer-animated film ever. The animation is so great, you forget you’re watching an animated film.
