"Incredibles 2" : Movie Review





                     
     Jim Pagiamtzis review:
              The Incredible are back! It took 14 years to get a sequel and it was well worth the wait it doesn't dissapoint. This time Helen (Holly Hunter) goes on the adventure and Bob (Craig T Nelson) stays home with the kids.

     Jack Jack get to understand and use his power and has a hilarious battle with a raccoon that almost steal the entire movie.

     The plot takes a while to get moving and become clear near the end. The Incredibles 2 is amzing film to watch and has some great moments that will make you cry and and then cheer!

     I hope it doesn't take another 14 years for the 3rd installment

    8 of 10 stars

     Sujit K Reddy Review: (non spoiler review)
   Great: Jack Jack's journey to discover his powers
   Good: The action pieces of the family working together
   Not so good: Borrowing from other super power movies

              Movie plot:
In “Incredibles 2,” Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to bring Supers back, while Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack—whose super powers are about to be discovered. Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the Parrs don’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. That’s what makes this family so Incredible.

Technology will fail you: Pixar movie almost lost


The is recent story shared by Linda Hill at The art of leadership event in Toronto in November 26,2014 at the Metro Convention Centre.

  It turns out that Toy Story 2 was the movie the almost was not made, as you may be aware the the entire movie is made digitally with voice overs by actors.

 As the movie as close to being finished, something happened to the digital back ups of the movie and they were lost. Imagine going to Steve Jobs (at that time) and telling him the bad news!

 It was not happy times at Pixar. All that work all gone!

 As it turns out it was not all lost. An email and communication has been sent out regarding the situation. and would you know it. the movie was found!

 Turns out there was lady working on the movie form home while she as on maternity leave. They had bought here a $90,000 computer for her to do work on the film (I know what your saying that much for computer).

She ends up telling them she has back out and they are free to come and get it if they want.

So when you watch the end credits of Toy Story next time, they list all babies born during the movie. (little move secret to have fun with your friends)

Moral of the story: Technology will fail, do you have a back up!
