Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) Review

Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) Review -

After Rio (2011), which managed to get the praise widely from among the world film critic as well as commercial success scored by the number of revenue of more than $ 400 for the duration of its release worldwide, Blue Sky Studios is now continuing the series fourth Ice Age franchise belonged to them. Unlike the previous three series, Ice Age: Continental Drift is no longer directed by Carlos Saldanha – who prefer to concentrate on making [sequel to Rio] that release was planned for 2014. In the hands of Steve Martino – who was formerly Co-Director of Horton Hears a Who! (2008) – and Mike Thurmeier – which is the Co-Director of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) – Ice Age: Continental Drift is still continuing the story of the adventures of a trio of Manny, Sid and Diego in ice age. Sounds like the premise of the films in the series Ice Age before? Probably due to Ice Age: Continental Drift is not offering a side of storytelling that is completely new in the script of the story.

As can be shown from the subtitled film, Ice Age: Continental Drift tells the State when the Earth began to split the plates to each other – a process that actually takes thousands of years to form. When this process occurs, Manny (Ray Romano) should be separated with my wife, Ellie (Queen Latifah), and his son, Peaches (Keke Palmer), while he and Sid (John Leguizamo), Diego (Denis Leary) and Sid's grandmother being so chatty (Wanda Sykes) was in chunks of ice which then leads them to navigate the vast ocean. Now they must find a way to be able to return to the Mainland and to their families.

Separately, when Manny and his friends are struggling in the ocean, Ellie, Peaches and other animals should move quickly to find a new land because the area that they inhabit continue to been replaced due to the existence of the movement of Earth's plates. In the vast ocean, Manny and his friends must also face challenges when a group of pirates led by a gorilla, Gutt (Peter Dinklage), try to take over the ice chunk assigned Manny and his friends. Various difficulties continue to face. However, Manny is trying hard to fulfill his promise to his wife and son to soon meet again with them.

Like franchise Madagascar – including all three series, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, the newly released a few weeks ago – Ice Age indeed is an animated film franchise that just want to appear pure fun with its viewership. Even so with Ice Age: Continental Drift. A series of dialogues with humor, written by Michael Berg and Jason Fuchs managed to give moments of fun in some parts of the film which lasted 94 minutes. The moral messages about the meaning of friendship for the younger audiences nor forget Tuck and was able to be conducted properly. Although Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier is able to present a series of the story of Ice Age: Continental Drift became more regular in comparison to Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, but that is too familiar with the retelling of the series before making the Ice Age: Continental Drift is less capable of giving a strong impression.

Those characters who was still limited to attendance at the funny and easy capacity favored than emotional connection is capable of producing its own to its viewership. In fact, the short film The Simpsons entitled The Longest Daycare more capable of delivering the emotional story with a businesslike rather than Ice Age: Continental Drift in its entirety. Among the many new characters, the character Granny who was diisisuarakan with perfect by Wanda Sykes clearly being the most prominent characters. Peter Dinklage was also able to render the character became darker and Gutt is scary. While the character of old, Scrat (Chris Wedge) is a character who will clear most awaited its presence.

Although the plot is absolutely not offering something special and often feels just as an alternative version of the story has been presented in the earlier series, but it should be recognized that Ice Age: Continental Drift is capable of presenting the tangle of retelling the most entertaining original film franchise is after, Ice Age (2002). Supported with convincing visual appearance, rows of dialogue and scenes full of jokes and entertaining voice quality that is able to establish chemistry close to each other, Ice Age: Continental Drift continues his adventure series-previous in series franchise, which directed her to be a means of entertainment for its younger audiences. No more.
