My Review-
I have always been a Martin Scorsese fan, ever since I watched Goodfellas for the first time. So when I heard and watched the trailer for his first children's film I wanted to watch it right away. Even though it took me a while to watch it, now that I finally have I really enjoyed it even how Scorsese expressed his love for film and its past. If you have not seen the movie yet, do not keep reading, but the underline of the story is about preserving film so that people can enjoy them for years to come, and Scorsese has always been big on this idea. And this film shows that as its backstory, that films should not be forgotten. Another thing that made this movie as good as it was is the cast; even the few actors i did not know were in the movie; such as Christopher Lee as the owner of a book store. Even though I did not read the book, each of the actors captured their characters just right, the one i most impressed with was Asa Butterfield; who was in another movie that saw called "The Boy in The Stripped Pajamas." And the one actor who never ceases to amaze me, Sir Ben Kingsley was just simply amazing in the story about the lost filmmaker. If you are a lover of film and all aspects of film, you will certainly love this film. The 3D for the film was also used really well in the film, unlike some of the movies that are converted to 3D during post-production, this was filmed in 3D and this was one of the few films that I enjoyed watching in 3D, and even though this is the only way to watch it now since it has been in the theaters for a few months already I am glad i saw it this way. Martin Scorsese truly did an amazing job on his first children's film.
