The Secret of Kells 2010
Look at how gorgeous that frame is. One could assume the whole movie is spectacular just because of it's beautiful art design, but in the end it's not enough.
The story told is your place-holder fairy tale. You know the characters within the first minute of their appearance and you'll know exactly what's coming in the near future of the movie. Although Kells will take it's time and let you absorb it's atmosphere (which isn't all that wonderful).
It truly relies on the sights to keep you entranced. There's nothing wrong with the flat, overly detailed, textured environments - rather the bland, stiff moving characters. What's worse is at the soul of these plain figures, is hardly anything to distinguish them from the scenery. Surprisingly enough, the English dub for this film is very well done.
Little reason to be checked out.
