Film Review: Rio
Rio (Carlos Saldanha, 2011)
Rio is an animated film from the makers of the Ice Age films. There aren't any breakthroughs in technical aspects and storytelling in this film but, just the like any other animated films I saw, this film is a joy to watch. The images are easy to the eye and the playfulness of the characters are contagious.
This is the plot. Linda believes that her pet bird Blu, a blue macaw that never learned how to fly, is the last of its kind. Having learned that there's another macaw of her pet's kind (called Jewel) in Rio De Janeiro, she travels from Minnesota to Rio De Janeira, with her blue macaw in tow. But, in Rio, Blu and Jewel get kidnapped by bird smugglers. The rest of the movie is about the rescue of the Blu and Jewel.
Angry Birds Rio!!!
Rating: 3.0/4.0
