Bolt is a Hollywood TV star, a dog with ’superpowers’ as far as what he himself believed. Together with his owner, Penny, they fight the evil green-eyed guy and to save Penny’s father. All were well until Bolt accidentally escaped from the studio and gone into the REAL world where he realized that he does not have either ’super bark’ or the ability to jump across buildings.
Despite facing the cruelty of the real world and self-realization, him, together with the de-clawed stray cat, Mittens and the Bolt-obsessed Hamster in a ball, Rhino, they set on a journey to find the way back to Bolt’s owner, Penny. It is the journey that made Bolt learnt that one does not need any superpower to be a hero.
What awed me the most from the movie is actually the graphics! It is REAL 3D! If you really observe it closely, you can see each of the strands of Bolt’s fur. The expressions potrayed by the cartoon figures are extremely realistic too. For instance, when bolt acted cute to beg for food. FULL OF CUTENESS!!! Like I said in the previous post, technology is really getting us far. At this rate, maybe we don’t even need actors in movies in the future : x. Just full of CGs. Poor actors…. LOL
Setting aside the CGs, Bolt is not just a comedy/animation full of flashy and nice-to-see-only stuffs. The lesson behind the story is truly what we can spare some time to think of and to appreciate. The REAL reality and the ARTIFICIAL reality, something we mixed up at times. Especially when the MMORPGs are getting more and more ‘realistic’, with the concept of marriage and all. People tend to get lost. Something to think about : )
All in all, it’s a great movie, at least 4-star to me. Go and watch it before it goes down! Good laughter and great lesson. : )
Giant Bolt plushie at PS! He’s so adorable, isn’t he? XD
