Wonderful Movie
Pretty Good
One of my all time favorites.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
This short cartoon is made as 4D ride in Universal Studios. 3D glasses, moving seats, water spraying in your face, spiders crawling up your legs... I suppose it must be very entertaining experience. But movie itself should be bit better. I don't understand why they always slack the story whenever they have great effects. Still, it's just dozen minutes long so it has no time to bore you with lack of story, and animation and jokes are pretty good.7/10It bought me with:"Got a donkey, carriage made of onion, it's dark and our horses are wearing sunglasses. - To the chase, donkey, just cut to the chase. - Hit it, boys."
I loved the movie Shrek, so I was all for checking out Shrek 4D. And it was a really great and enjoyable "ride", with wonderful animation especially with the waterfall and effects that really draw you into what's going on especially Donkey sneezing and the spiders. The music is driven and memorable, the plot is simple but engaging and the jokes are very funny and well written, with the part at the start of the attraction in the torture chamber a riot and the dialogue always witty and amusing. The characters are just as likable as in the movie, especially Donkey and Gingerbread, and the voice work especially from Eddie Murphy is full of energy.Overall, heartily recommended. 9/10 Bethany Cox
Shrek 4-D is a new ride/show at Universal Studios in both Florida and California. A follow up to the original movie, this short film focuses on what happened after the wedding, when the dead Lord Farquaad has returned from the dead, and ready to wreck Shrek and Fiona's honeymoon. Many of the original and loved characters from the first movie are back including Donkey, the Gingerbread man and Pinocchio.The 4-D part of the name focuses on the fact that the movie is in a new dimension, your seat moves, it's in 3-D and for example if someone splashed in a puddle then you would get sprayed with water.This is a fantastic ride, it's really enjoyable, although the que was awfully long... It was a nice change from all the other rides in the park. If you liked Shrek then you should like this.
I was really excited of seeing this, but came out a little disappointed. The animation is breathtaking (Like the waterfall) and the 3-D is pretty good, but the jokes feel strained and there are one too many 3-D cliches. I also didn't like the fact that Farquaad came back as a ghost.But I did like the first part where your in the little torture chamber with the 3 little pigs, Pinnochio, The Gingerbread Man and the magic mirror. The rest is cheesy. But I'm sure the little kids will like it (My little sister did) so I guess that's all that matters.6.5/10
