Review: The Incredibles

Synopsis: Mr. Incredible, a comic book style super hero, marries his sweetheart and fellow super hero Elastigirl. After saving the world again, they are sued for the damage they caused while saving it. In an effort to save them from the general public, the government relocates them in a Witness Protection like program and they try to lead normal lives in suburban America. This life doesn’t sit well with Mr. Incredible, who longs for his life as a super hero.

The good: As usual, Pixar has done a great job of telling a cool story. The characters are fun, have depth, and are quite believable. Interestingly, the animation seems almost like a step backward from previous Pixar films, but I get the feeling that this was an intentional effect — perhaps trying to make it look a little more “retro”.

The Bad: The movie ends up being quite long and as a result would have less of an appeal for the younger audience.

The Ugly: None!

The Final Word: I give this flick a five out of five starts. Very enjoyable. I highly recommend it.
