Review: Hugo, A true ode to the history of cinema

Let me start of by saying that Hugo isn't for everyone. If you are a mindless idiot who loves to see things blow up, then by all means go see the Phantom Menace in 3D and let your brain cells rot away! But for those of us who love the art that is cinema and the beautifull directing by Martin Scorsese, this is your movie!

Hugo is an orphan who lives alone in the railway station of Paris after the unfortunated death of his father. He inspects and repairs the clocks. He also tries to fix a mechanical robot called an automotan. This robot was found by his father in the museum where he worked. The robot doesn't work anymore and he and Hugo where trying to fix it. I won't go into detail about the plot because I will spoil some things, but it's a true adventure and as the story unfolds you want to see what's going to happen next and how it will all play out.

The acting is fantastic, especially for actors this young. Hugo played by Asa butterfield does a great job to set Hugo as a emotional and friendly character. He is a thief but you do care for him. His love interest and best friend Isabella is played by Chloë Grace Mortez (Seriously, who gives her kid such a long name?) and delivers a fantastic job. I can't feel different than to think that she is Hermoine Ginger. And together with a fantastic supporting crew like Sacha Baron Cohen and Christopher fucking Lee you just
Can't go wrong.

The movie is true ode to the art of filmmaking and anyone who works with film or independent film makers will love this movie. Hugo and Isabella go trough the history of cinema, from arrivée d'un train à parreche to safety last they show them on screen andI found it to be amazing to see these scene's on screen.

I also have to mention the 3D. Now I'm normally against 3D. It is:
A) Converted piece of crap (star wars ep.1)
B) So good the movie experience is amazing.
And thankfully Hugo is B++. I haven't seen avatar. But this is by far the best 3D I have seen in the theater so far. There is a scene where a inspecters bents over to the camera and it feels like he is breathing in your neck. Amazing.

This movie is a masterpiece of cinema. It tributes the movies long forgotten by todays audiences and makes a fantastic story out of this. If you love movies this is a must and you have to see this movie, especially in 3D!

This movie gets Wreviews stamp of awesomeness! Go see this movie!
