Ice Age 3 ~ Dawn of the Dinosaurs

,

So, I went to see the Ice Age 3 movie. I've seen the two others, and I must admit that I liked the first one best.

Anyway - the trailers showing that the sabre squirrel Scrat would meet a female version of himself, Scratte, made me curious. I love Scrat, he is absolutely hilarious!

This time around, Manny and Ellie are expecting a baby mammoth, something that leads to unexpected responds from Diego and Sid. When Sid decides to become a parent himself in return, he steals three giant eggs he accidentally bumps into, only to later realize they're dinosaur eggs that belong to a very angry mother.

When the T-rex mom runs off with her kiddos and Sid, it's up to Manny and friends to return Sid home safely. Accidentally they find out that underneath their icy world lives a land filled with enormous and sometimes menacing dinosaurs, one which our friends would need to cross in order to rescue Sid.

I'd say that this film is really all about family. Not having one. Starting one. Becoming one. Keeping one. And protecting one.

I loved the animations, they were cool as ever. The plot - was a little too thin really. I liked that the squirrels had larger roles in this movie though! :up: And the baby mammoth turned out to be absolutely adorable. :love:

*thinks*

Okay - I still like the first one the best, but I'll give it :star::star::star::star: out of 6. :up:

HitslinkPrince Albert? No thanks!

I've only seen the first one, but I like the animations too. :up:
Did you watch it in 3-D?

@ Carol ~ You're welcome. :heart:

@ Squeakey ~ :cool: Did you like the two others?

@ Rose ~ The animators have become so skilful, I really admire their work. And no, I didn't see it in 3D. It wasn't an option in the cinema I watched it in. :down:

SqueakeyCat 22. July 2009, 07:23

i own both of the other two, and will wait for this one to come out on dvd and get it as well.

can't wait to go see it

I read an interview with one of the cinema managers here who said that 3-D is coming strong now. Several movies are being produced in two versions and there will be a couple to really look forward to later this year.
That's really a flashback to my young(ER!) days. I hope the quality is better this time around, though! :D

lol

@ Squeakey ~ Ah, I see. I don't think I'll buy this one, though, cute or not. :smile:

@ Rose ~ On Bakken (and if you haven't been there, I'll go with you there some day) - they have what they call a 5D cinema, with air and sometimes water involved in the "show". It's okay, I guess, but it's only short films, made for that cinema.

That sounds really cool! I'd love to go :happy:

Zaphira 22. July 2009, 07:40

Great. They have an Italian restaurant out there. *hint, hint* :yes:

@ dW ~ Well, you're welcome. :D

@ Hermitess ~ Scrat is so cute because he is so unlucky with those acorns he's trying to get. :lol:

Zaphira 22. July 2009, 17:05
