Up Review

I must say, it's really been a great month this month... last week, i left the cinema totally satisfied after watching District 9... this week, different movie, different genre and i still end up feeling very satisfied...

I didn't actually read the synopsis of this movie, so i didn't really know what to expect from this movie... but after seeing the trailer a few weeks ago, it was a regular trailer, but something caught me and i just felt like i want to see it, and i'm glad that i did...

anyway, i felt that this movie is different from any animation that i have seen before (anime is not included... eheh...), it's not really about comedy nor it is a serious animation... infact, the intro was a very touching scene (i was kinda touched again when Fredricksen said "crossed my heart" again in the middle of the movie)... there aren't a lot of animation including anime that can make me feel sad, so i guess there is just something special about this movie for able to make me feel this way...

anyway, the story revolves around this character named Fredricksen... the intro was a short story from the when he was still a kid all the way to his present older years... then the real story begin when he ties thousand of balloons to his house and flies away to South America... along the way, he met several characters, but even with the many characters around him, the movie still focus on him... and for the whole movie, there wasn't a bit where i felt bored, there were just a lot of mixed emotion in the movie... (owh, the most touching scene was when Fredricksen look back at his wife's memory book... kinda remind me of a memory book that i kept with me... eheh)... and owh, don't let that bother you, i still think it has a great entertainment value in it too...

so overall, i find it's a great movie to watch by the whole family... personally, i think this movie is better than Finding Nemo and i really think that this is the best animated movie so far this year... so my rating based from movies of this genre, i give it a 10 out of 10... seriously, i really really like it... :)
