anthimeriaWent out to see Epic last night with my family. None of us knew much about it, but it looked fun and animated and so we figured we'd give it a shot.
Loved it!
A great adventure story with a wonderful, believable main character and a great supporting cast. Loved the worldbuilding and the plot (it made WAY more sense than Star Trek: Into Darkness, which I also saw this week) and had some great funny moments (a few cringe-worthy moments as well, but I have a low tolerance threshold for the "funny" sidekick characters) and even my Dad teared up at the end! In a good way. Good emotional tears.
Epic is funny and fast and real and awesome, and I don't know why I haven't heard more about this movie. I need to track down the book it's based on, as well, by William Joyce. The movie is like the creators took Fern Gully and The Spiderwick Chronicles and smushed them together.
So! If you like kid's movies, check this one out.
