I saw Cars 2 today and must say I was highly impressed by the animated 3D action flick from Pixar. The attention to detail was simply unbelievable from the makers.
The movie had everything - Beautifully-directed chase sequences that would not look out of place in a James Bond movie, the lovable - if slightly dumb - friend getting to be the hero, sensational technology usage combined with some witty references to real and Pixar animated worlds..
One of my favorite was the reference to Gusteau´s (Ratatouille) as Gastow´s - a 5-star restaurant but with lights off.. Then there was the hairpin turn to describe the Imola racing track for Italy.. And there was Sumo wrestling done by cars wearing Mawashis..- While these are only 1 second long images - they showcase the brilliance of the movie.. And not too forget the wonderful portrayals of the Car-like British queen, her grandson saying ¨let´s go Grandma¨ and the knighthood ceremony.. And that of the Pope..
The movie is technically as good as it can be - Highlighted by the wonderful 3D portrayal of the TV coverage of a Grand Prix - the channel logo on top layer, the track behind it and the region´s natural beauty further behind a layer... Maybe it has a little to do with it being helmed by an Indian as the Technical Director - Apurva Shah :)
Needless to say, the movie is a must watch for all animation aficionados and for all those who want to see a great movie :)
