The subj line was one of my favorite lines in "Speed Racer."
I saw the IMAX version last night.
Too long for a kids movie and over their heads? Yes.
Still a fun ride? Yes.
The racing parts were magnificent and the whole thing was super visually stimulating. The colors were vibrant. It felt like you were watching a video game or on a theme park ride.
We sat in the very back/top row suspecting that IMAX and racing together might be intense. And for the first 5 minutes I wavered on whether I would vomit or not, but once it got going I was ok.
The business story line at times was hard for us to understand, and I could see the 3 year olds a couple rows down getting ancy.
Other things I'd like to say about the movie:
Emile Hirsch is a great versatile actor.
- I love John Goodman. Especially when he kicks ass.
- Monkeys. In. Movies. Thumbs up.
- Scott Porter is hot.
- This movie is probably insanely awesome if you're on acid. I obviously was not, but at times it's so trippy on its own that I can only imagine how visually enhancing drugs would affect it.
- Several one liners made us LOL due to their cheesiness. I'm not sure if it was on purpose, but it made the experience more enjoyable.
In conclusion, it's over 2 hours long, and the business part of the story line isn't the greatest of entertainment. But if you're going to see it, definitely do theater over dvd. unless you have like a home theater or something. Then invite me over. I like home theaters.
